Alpine WAYLAND desktop setup: FF version
===========================================================
Alpine must be previously installed. This will install a new fashioned desktop, for more traditional check ../../newbie/alpine-newbie-xfce-desktop.md
preparation Alpine
You must have already installed alpine, and wayland only works well in alpine 3.14 and up
YOU MUST HAVE DIRECT WIRED INTERNET, if not ask for an ISO from VenenuX: https://t.me/alpine_linux/762

WARNING your user name must be general, you can put a "human name" as you wish, later.
ADVERTISE pure wayland will work only in modern gpu, otherwise will use xwayland if you need some modules like xf86-video packages as xf86-video-intel, xf86-video-amdgpu, xf86-video-noveau, xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-nv
Instalacion WAYLAND Alpine
apk add wayland wlroots foot sway sway-doc bemenu swaylock swaylockd swaybg swayidle \

weston-doc weston-shell-desktop weston-desktop-x11 weston-clients weston-terminal \
weston-xwayland weston-shell-desktop weston-shell-fullscreen weston-cms-static
At this point you already has a waylan environment and can choose beetween weston and sway, just login into and start your desktop, weston is just the first implementation, can be run inside and X11 or another wayland session, sway is a window manager and compositor.
configurations
for u in $(ls /home); do mkdir -p /home/$u/.config/sway/ && cp /etc/sway/config /home/$u/.config/sway/config ;done
for u in $(ls /home); touch /home/$u/.config/weston.ini;done
The wayland weston and sway configurations depens on your preferences, the above commands just provide defaults to made those compositors able to run for users.
wayland sway console login
If want autologin with TTY use this script to your system users:
mkdir /home/general/
cat > /etc/skel/.profile << EOF
if test -z "\${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/\$(id -u)-runtime-dir
if ! test -d "\${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then

chmod 0700 "\${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"

wayland gui login manager
Wayland its on early stages.. so there is no login manager compatible, this is cos wayland per ser its another way to run GUI, and all the sesion and login GUI managers runs over Xorg.

WARNING: for alpine 3.14, 3.15 just works the login sesion for sway, maybe 3.16 and up will result in a blank screen, check https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/3634#issuecomment-462779163

How to use this guide
This guide structure all the commands in blocks, each block its separated by a line spaced, so you must type each line as is.. and hit enter, so you noted that then you typed each separated clocks of commands, copy/type only blocks separated by an empty line, all new(next) lines are made by just enter. the terminal will detect if must execute or not.
If you have another computer or gui, try to use SSH client like putty or just in terminal (MAC or Linux) do:
- at the Alpine installation:
sed -i 's|.*PermitRootLogin.*|PermitRootLogin yes|g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config;service sshd restart - at the other OS just connect:
ssh -l root <ip>change "<ip>" with the address of your device. - copy each separated by empty line, block of command, copy only blocks separate by empty line
- and paste each separated by empty line block in the remnote (ssh), do not paste all the blocks at same time!
CAUTION Some Linux or/and Mac terminals have security cut/paste locks, so if you paste, the first line will be preceded by garbage, check always the first char of your paste.
WARNING after finish, rerun: sed -i -r 's|.*PermitRootLogin.*|PermitRootLogin no|g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and restart ssh service sshd restart becouse security implications.
