waybar-trains

This is a module for Waybar that displays the status of the train you are currently in, using the train's API available from its WiFi network.

It was inspired by https://github.com/e1mo/waybar-iceportal and https://github.com/liclac/ambient.

These operators are currently supported:

Operator Portal	WiFi name	Description
Iceportal	WIFIonICE	German long-distance trains ICE and IC by Deutsche Bahn
Zugportal	WIFI@DB	German regional trains by Deutsche Bahn
ODEG (Portal)	ODEG Free WiFi	Some regional trains in German states Berlin/Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt

Configuration example

After cloning the repository and installing the required Python modules (pip install -r requirements.txt), run waybar-trains as a Python module using python -m waybar-trains.

Example Waybar module configuration:

"custom/trains": {
    "exec": "cd ~/path/to/waybar-trains && python -m waybar-trains",
    "return-type": "json",
    "interval": 15
}

Using Home Manager

A Nix Flake is available for use with NixOS and/or Home Manager. First, add waybar-trains as an input:

{
  inputs = {
    waybar-trains.url = "git+https://codeberg.org/fyrk/waybar-trains.git";
  };
}

Then, add a custom module, for example:

{
  "custom/trains" = {
    "exec" = "${inputs.waybar-trains.packages.${system}.default}/bin/waybar-trains";
    "return-type" = "json";
    "interval" = 15;
  };
}

CSS style

A CSS style that sets the background, text, and border colors could look like this:

#custom-trains {
  border: 2px solid;
}
#custom-trains sup {
  margin-left: 10px;
}
#custom-trains.provider-iceportal {
  background: #f0f3f5;
  color: #282d37;
  border-color: #ec0016;
}
#custom-trains.provider-zugportal {
  background: #0e0e0c;

  border-color: #ec0016;
}
#custom-trains.provider-odeg {
