fluxo-rs

fluxo-rs is a high-performance system metrics daemon and client designed specifically for Waybar. It replaces standard shell scripts with a compiled Rust binary that collects data via a background polling loop and serves it over a Unix socket.

Key Features

Asynchronous Architecture: Built on Tokio, the daemon handles concurrent IPC requests and background tasks with zero latency and minimal CPU overhead.
Native Library Integrations:
- Audio: Direct libpulse integration for event-driven, instant volume and device updates.
- Bluetooth: Native bluer integration for robust device monitoring.
- Pixel Buds Pro: Custom native RPC implementation for real-time battery and ANC control.
- Network: Native nix and /proc inspection for high-speed interface monitoring.
- Hyprland: Direct IPC Unix socket communication for gamemode and animation status.
Circuit Breaker (Failsafe): Automatically detects failing modules and enters a "Cool down" state to prevent resource waste and log spam.
Multi-threaded Polling: Decoupled subsystem threads ensure that a hang in one system (e.g., a slow GPU probe) never freezes your entire bar.

Setup

Build: cargo build --release
Configure: Create ~/.config/fluxo/config.toml (see example.config.toml).
Daemon: Start fluxo-rs daemon. It's recommended to run this as a systemd user service.

Waybar Configuration

To achieve zero-latency updates, use Waybar Signals:

"custom/audio": {
    "exec": "fluxo vol",
    "return-type": "json",
    "interval": 5,
    "signal": 8,
    "on-click": "fluxo audio cycle sink && pkill -RTMIN+8 waybar"
},
"custom/bluetooth": {
    "exec": "fluxo bt",
    "return-type": "json",
    "interval": 5,
    "signal": 9,
    "on-click": "fluxo bt menu && pkill -RTMIN+9 waybar",
    "on-click-right": "fluxo bt cycle_mode && pkill -RTMIN+9 waybar"
}

Debugging

Start the daemon with RUST_LOG=debug to see detailed logs of library interactions and circuit breaker status:

RUST_LOG=debug fluxo-rs daemon
