Sirula

Sirula (simple rust launcher) is an app launcher for wayland. Currently, the only feature is launching apps from .desktop files. Feel free to submit pull requests for any feature you like.

I wrote sirula partially to learn rust, so do not expect perfect rust code. I'd be happy to hear any criticism of my code.

Examples

sample-config/a:

open

sample-config/b: Overlay in the center of the screen.

Building

• Dependency: gtk-layer-shell
• Build: cargo build --release
  • Optionally, strip the binary to reduce size
• Alternatively, install with cargo install --path .
• There is also an unofficial AUR package

Nix

I made this fork so that I could get Sirula to work on NixOs. The following override should work:

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
  nixpkgs.config = {
    packageOverrides = pkgs: {
      sirula = pkgs.sirula.overrideAttrs (old: rec {
        name = "sirula-${version}";
        version = "b15efe85ef1fe50849a33e5919d53d05f4f66090";
        src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
          owner = "Mikklee";
          repo = "sirula";
          rev = "b92856855c7e81f700b64857127ee5f3aba65a49";
          sha256 = "sha256-LiP4lf5KX3QYIUxo2FLpiv8y+LutTqZ5hnm2fPTha9U=";
        };
        cargoSha256 = "";
        cargoHash = "";
        cargoDeps = old.cargoDeps.overrideAttrs (pkgs.lib.const {
          name = "${name}-vendor.tar.gz";
          inherit src;
          outputHash = "sha256-npwgE2yDBwmGuQkJGuYed1scNzmm55ASFsZCQwzcqOg=";
        });
      });
    };
  };
}

Configuration

Use config.toml and style.css in your .config/sirula directory. See sample-config for documentation.
