# 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 domain socket (`/tmp/fluxo.sock`).
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The project follows a client-server architecture:
|
|
- **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**: Fully customizable output formats via toml config.
|
|
- **Interactive Menus**: Integrated support for selecting items (like Bluetooth devices) via external menus (e.g., Rofi, Wofi, Fuzzel).
|
|
- **Live Reload**: Configuration can be reloaded without restarting the daemon.
|
|
- **Multi-vendor GPU**: Native support for intel (igpu), amd, and nvidia.

|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Build the project:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd fluxo-rs
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Start the daemon:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Starts the daemon using the default config path (~/.config/fluxo/config.toml)
|
|
./target/release/fluxo-rs daemon &
|
|
|
|
# Or provide a custom path
|
|
./target/release/fluxo-rs daemon --config /path/to/your/config.toml &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Configuration:
|
|
Create `~/.config/fluxo/config.toml` (see `example.config.toml` for all default options).
|
|
|
|
4. Waybar configuration (`config.jsonc`):
|
|
```json
|
|
"custom/cpu": {
|
|
"exec": "~/path/to/fluxo-rs cpu",
|
|
"return-type": "json"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
### Architecture
|
|
- `src/main.rs`: Entry point, CLI parsing, interactive GUI spawns (menus), and client-side formatting logic.
|
|
- `src/daemon.rs`: UDS listener, configuration management, and polling orchestration.
|
|
- `src/ipc.rs`: Unix domain socket communication logic.
|
|
- `src/utils.rs`: Generic GUI utilities (like the menu spawner).
|
|
- `src/modules/`: Individual metric implementations.
|
|
- `src/state.rs`: Shared thread-safe data structures.
|
|
|
|
### Adding a Module
|
|
1. Add the required config block to `src/config.rs`.
|
|
2. Add the required state fields to `src/state.rs`.
|
|
3. Implement the `WaybarModule` trait in a new file in `src/modules/`.
|
|
4. Add polling logic to `src/modules/hardware.rs` or `src/daemon.rs`.
|
|
5. Register the new subcommand in `src/main.rs` and the router in `src/daemon.rs`.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Reload
|
|
The daemon can reload its configuration live:
|
|
```bash
|
|
fluxo-rs reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Logging & Debugging
|
|
`fluxo-rs` uses the `tracing` ecosystem. If a module isn't behaving properly or your configuration isn't applying, start the daemon with debug logging enabled in the foreground:
|
|
```bash
|
|
RUST_LOG=debug fluxo-rs daemon
|
|
```
|
|
This will print verbose information regarding config parsing errors, subprocess failures, and IPC requests.
