x11docker VS polybar-pulseaudio-control

I don't know anything about Xwayland, but according there's this sentence in this socat writeup:

> If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/How-to-access-X-o...

I've run into this before, but I never ended up using it: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker

I managed to “fix” the error log messages by following this guide: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/How-to-connect-container-to-DBus-from-host

at least, I'd suggest you take a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/issues/418

x11docker would be a good starting point to see what is possible: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker and in particular https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/Display-manager-entry-for-x11docker .

Instead of using a homegrown solution, check out x11docker. It attempts to safely allow you to use x inside a container. There are certain cases where a malicious actor could take over your computer if you don't mount the relevant things safely.

This is what I use x11docker for!

It's straighforward to have your container talk to Xorg directly but for a better experience take a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker as it does the heavy lifting regarding GPU, sounds, devices, etc.

I'm lacking in scripts and bash. So I don't know how to load this bash script: https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control << Download the bash script from this repository, or extract it from the latest release, and put it somewhere in your $PATH. >> I didn't understand what exactly say it. I tried to run pulseaudio-control.bash but I faced << No action specified. Run pulseaudio-control.bash help for more information. >>. I need a more information about this subject. Also can you advise any source about it?

I'm the creator of the pulseaudio-control module for polybar. We recently released the v3.0.0 version, which adds support for sources (i.e., microphones). Thanks to this, you'll also be able to switch between microphones, mute them or control their volume, directly from your status bar.

Edit: I solved it by using this script

Maybe this is what you are looking for

Now that I saw its last build is from 2017, using pavucontrol seems better in any way. I will try this one.

For pulseaudio, there's a built-in module as well. You can see that on the polybar wiki. I use this instead: https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control Works like a charm. Does mutes and everything and is fine with bluetooth devices.

I just made this module to easily control PulseEffects, as the creator of polybar-pulseaudio-control.
