## description
the project follows a client-server architecture:
- daemon: handles heavy lifting (polling cpu, memory, network) and stores state in memory.
- daemon: handles heavy lifting (polling cpu, memory, network, gpu) and stores state in memory.
- client: a thin cli wrapper that connects to the daemon's socket to retrieve formatted json for waybar.
this approach eliminates process spawning overhead and temporary file locking, resulting in near-zero cpu usage for custom modules.
## features
- ultra-lightweight: background polling is highly optimized (e.g., O(1) process counting).
- jitter-free: uses zero-width sentinels and figure spaces to prevent waybar from trimming padding.
- configurable: customizable output formats via toml config.
- live reload: configuration can be reloaded without restarting the daemon.
- multi-vendor gpu: native support for intel (igpu), amd, and nvidia.
## modules
- net: network interface speed (rx/tx mb/s)
- cpu: global usage percentage and package temperature
- mem: used/total ram in gigabytes
- disk: disk usage for a specific mountpoint
- pool: aggregate storage usage (e.g., btrfs)
- vol: audio output volume and device management
- mic: audio input volume and device management
## dependencies
### system
- iproute2 (for network interface discovery)
- wireplumber (for volume and mute status via wpctl)
- pulseaudio (for device description and cycling via pactl)
- lm-sensors (recommended for cpu temperature)
### rust
- cargo / rustc (edition 2024)

## setup
1. build the project:
```
$ git clone https://git.narl.io/nvrl/fluxo-rs
$ cd fluxo-rs
$ cargo build --release
```bash
cd fluxo-rs
cargo build --release
```
2. start the daemon:
```
$ ./target/release/fluxo-rs daemon &
```bash
./target/release/fluxo-rs daemon &
```
3. configure waybar (config.jsonc):
```
3. configuration:
create `~/.config/fluxo/config.toml` (see `example.config.toml` for all options).
4. waybar configuration (`config.jsonc`):
```json
"custom/cpu": {
"exec": "/path/to/fluxo-rs cpu",
"exec": "~/path/to/fluxo-rs cpu",
"return-type": "json"
}
```

## development
### architecture
- src/main.rs: entry point and cli argument parsing
- src/daemon.rs: uds listener and background thread orchestration
- src/ipc.rs: thin client socket communication
- src/modules/: individual metric implementation logic
- src/state.rs: shared in-memory data structures
- `src/main.rs`: entry point, cli parsing, and client-side formatting logic.
- `src/daemon.rs`:uds listener, configuration management, and polling orchestration.
- `src/ipc.rs`: unix domain socket communication logic.
- `src/modules/`: individual metric implementations.
- `src/state.rs`: shared thread-safe data structures.
### adding a module
1. define the state structure in state.rs
2. implement the waybarmodule trait in src/modules/
3. add the polling logic to the background thread in daemon.rs
4. register the subcommand in main.rs
1. add the required fields to `src/state.rs`.
2. implement the `WaybarModule` trait in a new file in `src/modules/`.
3. add polling logic to `src/modules/hardware.rs` or `src/daemon.rs`.
4. register the new subcommand in `src/main.rs` and the router in `src/daemon.rs`.
### build and debug
build for release:
```
$ cargo build --release
```
### configuration reload
the daemon can reload its configuration live:
```bash
fluxo-rs reload
```
run with debug logs:
```
$ RUST_LOG=debug ./target/release/fluxo-rs daemon
```
### logs
run the daemon with debug logs for troubleshooting:
```bash
RUST_LOG=debug fluxo-rs daemon
```
