Chapter 14. Remotely accessing a Wayland-based application
Chapter 14. Remotely accessing a Wayland-based application You can remotely launch a graphical Wayland-based application on a RHEL server and use it from the remote client on Wayland using waypipe . Note The desktop applications shipped with RHEL 9 support both the Wayland and X11 display protocols. However, Wayland is the preferred option when both are available. 14.1. Enabling waypipe on the client and server To be able to launch an individual application on Wayland, you need to install the waypipe package. Prerequisite Both the client and server use the RHEL 9 operating system. Procedure Install the waypipe package on the local system. Install the waypipe package on the remote system. 14.2. Launching an application remotely using waypipe You can access a graphical application on Wayland on a RHEL server from a remote client using SSH and waypipe . Note This procedure does not work for legacy X11 applications. For X11 applications, see Remotely accessing an individual application on X11 . Prerequisites A Wayland display server is running on your system. On RHEL 9, GNOME as a Wayland compositor is the default. The waypipe package is installed on both the client and the remote system. The application is capable of running natively on Wayland. Procedure Launch the application remotely through waypipe and SSH. Confirm that a server key is valid by checking its fingerprint. Continue connecting by typing yes . When prompted, type the server password. 14.3. Additional resources Remotely accessing an individual application on X11 . Key differences between the Wayland and X11 protocol .
