Waydroid Container Service

What does systemctl status YourServiceName say?

9 Replies

So, I've tried:

[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service 
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=waydroid container start

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service 
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=waydroid container start

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

and

[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service 
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=bash -c 'waydroid container start'

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service 
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=bash -c 'waydroid container start'

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

doing sudo systemctl enable /home/deck/.local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service enables it for the system user, then you can start/stop waydroid.service just like normal, but it doesn't log anything here

[deck@fedora ~]$ sudo systemctl status -l waydroid

You shouldn't use sudo for user-level units

I…know what I’m doing I’m storing the unit file as the user but I’m executing the file as root—this was intentional for testing at least it does read the file just fine and creates the symlink just fine

akdev•11mo ago

you could try disabling selinux temporarily, might be causing issues?

Pixel 🔜 SF 🎧•11mo ago

likely correct yeah, something about the context that systemd tries to start waydroid's container in is blocked by SELinux--both the provided service and my custom service are fixed I guess I could set permissive and log what needs some love

akdev•11mo ago

Yeah, is there an existing policy already? (Like upstream or something)

Pixel 🔜 SF 🎧•11mo ago

I would have imagined--though, it may be in mainline, but not in silverblue? interesting--gamescope supports xdg_shell, so the whole nested-compositor thing might be more diable than I thought? sway might make it easier, as you could just give sway a config that launches waydroid; but I'm kinda determined to get something working using just a session start script in ~/ endgame android apps in gamescope so you can have chat apps or whatever running in the background while your game is in the foreground--or like, offline youtube in the background with Premium, etc

It is broken due to https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree-rs-ext/issues/510
