wayvnc is a VNC server for wlroots-based Wayland compositors such as sway. It attaches to a running Wayland session, exposes the display via the RFB protocol, and supports headless sessions.
Use cases
- remotely control my sway desktop over vnc
- share a wayland session screen with a vnc client
- run a headless wayland session and connect remotely
- vnc server for wlroots compositors
- access my linux desktop from another machine
- remote desktop on wayland without gnome or kde
When to choose
- you use sway or another wlroots-based Wayland compositor
- you need a lightweight VNC server that attaches to an existing Wayland session
- you want to run a headless Wayland session accessible via VNC
When to avoid
- you run GNOME, KDE, or Weston, which are not supported
- you need a cross-platform remote desktop solution for Windows or macOS
- you need features like session recording or multi-display exposure
