# omarchy-moonlight — HEADLESS-PRIMARY manager.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Model: the desktop permanently lives on a virtual HEADLESS output that always
|
||||
# exists, independent of the physical monitor. Sunshine captures it. The
|
||||
# physical DP-1 MIRRORS the headless primary when it's present, so the at-desk
|
||||
# view == the stream. When DP-1 is off (remote, monitor asleep/unplugged),
|
||||
# nothing is orphaned — the headless output keeps the whole desktop and the
|
||||
# stream keeps working.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Why this replaces the old "HEADLESS mirrors DP-1" design: when the physical
|
||||
# monitor fully powers off, DP-1 disappears from Hyprland, the mirror collapses,
|
||||
# and every workspace bound to DP-1 is stranded off-screen. Inverting the mirror
|
||||
# (headless is the source of truth) removes that failure mode entirely.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# SAFETY: DP-1 is a NORMAL monitor in monitors.conf. This script only ever ADDS
|
||||
# a mirror on top; if it never runs, DP-1 still displays normally. The physical
|
||||
# screen is never left blank by this machinery.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Subcommands:
|
||||
# apply (default) establish/repair state — idempotent (topology + rescues)
|
||||
# rescue just pull off-screen floating windows back on-screen
|
||||
# reconcile read-only drift check; runs apply ONLY if something is wrong
|
||||
# watch long-running self-healing daemon (events + periodic backstop)

# Headless-primary streaming (JARVIS as-built)
|
||||
|
||||
How **JARVIS** streams its desktop to Moonlight so that it works **whether or not
|
||||
the physical monitor is on** — the machine's normal remote-use case.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Companion note — keep in sync.** This document is mirrored in the Obsidian
|
||||
> vault at `Documents/Sync Vault/Network/Network — Sunshine + Moonlight (JARVIS).md`.
|
||||
> They are **not** auto-linked. **If you edit one, update the other.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR
|
||||
|
||||
- The desktop permanently lives on a **persistent virtual `HEADLESS-1` output**.
|
||||
Sunshine captures it. It exists independent of the physical monitor.
|
||||
- The physical **`DP-1` mirrors `HEADLESS-1`** when present, so the at-desk view
|
||||
equals the stream.
|
||||
- When `DP-1` is off (remote), nothing is orphaned and the stream keeps working.
|
||||
- Managed by `~/.local/share/omarchy-moonlight/bin/sunshine-headless-primary.sh`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Why this design (the three iterations)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Headless-move (stock omarchy-moonlight headless mode)** — created a
|
||||
client-sized `HEADLESS-1` and *moved the active workspace onto it* via the
|
||||
`global_prep_cmd` hooks. Not a clone; and because a permanent off-screen
|
||||
output existed, apps that remember their monitor (OBS) reopened invisibly on
|
||||
it. Rejected.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Mirror-clone (`HEADLESS-1` mirrors `DP-1`)** — a true clone while the
|
||||
monitor is on, and mirrored outputs are excluded from the layout so nothing
|
||||
strands on them. **But** when the physical monitor fully powers off, `DP-1`
|
||||
disappears from Hyprland, the mirror collapses to a standalone empty output,
|
||||
and every workspace bound to `DP-1` is orphaned off-screen. Fatal for a
|
||||
remote-first host whose monitor is usually off.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Headless-primary (current)** — invert the mirror. The **headless output is
|
||||
the source of truth** (always present); `DP-1` mirrors *it*. The capture
|
||||
target is never absent, so nothing is ever orphaned. This is the only model
|
||||
that satisfies "the stream is a clone AND survives the monitor being off."
|
||||
|
||||
**Tradeoff:** the stream is the full `5120x1440` ultrawide, letterboxed on 16:9
|
||||
clients. Inherent to cloning an ultrawide.
|
||||

|
||||
## Components
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Role |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `bin/sunshine-headless-primary.sh` | The manager. `apply` establishes/repairs state (idempotent); `rescue` pulls off-screen floating windows back on-screen; `reconcile` heals drift only if broken; `watch` the self-healing daemon (events + periodic reconcile backstop + auto-reconnect). |
|
||||
| `bin/sunshine-prestart.sh` | Sunshine `ExecStartPre` — thin wrapper that runs `sunshine-headless-primary.sh apply` before the encoder probe. |
|
||||
| `~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf` | `DP-1` kept **normal** (safety fallback); `HEADLESS-1..4` default to `0x0`. The manager applies the `DP-1 → mirror HEADLESS-1` on top. |
|
||||
| `~/.config/hypr/autostart.conf` | `exec-once` runs `apply` at login and starts the `watch` daemon. |
|
||||
| `~/.config/sunshine/sunshine.conf` | `capture = wlr`, `output_name = HEADLESS-1`, `encoder = nvenc`, `global_prep_cmd = []` (no workspace moving). |
|
||||
| systemd drop-in `…Sunshine.service.d/headless-prestart.conf` | wires `ExecStartPre` to prestart. |
|
||||
|
||||
### What `apply` does (idempotent)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensures exactly one `HEADLESS` output (creates if none; **disables** extras —
|
||||
`hyprctl output remove` is unreliable for these, returns "output not found").
|
||||
2. Sizes it `5120x1440@60` at `0x0`.
|
||||
3. If `DP-1` is present → `hyprctl keyword monitor "DP-1,…,mirror,HEADLESS-1"`.
|
||||
4. **Relocates any workspace stranded on a mirrored output** onto the primary.
|
||||
On swap-back Hyprland brings `DP-1` up *normal*, binds a workspace to it, and
|
||||
then we mirror it — leaving that workspace trapped on a layout-excluded
|
||||
mirror (unreachable). This moves it off. (You can move a workspace *off* a
|
||||
mirror but not *onto* one, which is why this only bites via hotplug.)
|
||||
5. Rescues any **orphaned** workspace (`monitorID == -1`) onto the headless
|
||||
primary — deliberately narrow, so a healthy second monitor (DP-2) is left
|
||||
alone.
|
||||
5. **Rescues off-screen floating windows** — recenters any floating, mapped
|
||||
window whose rectangle doesn't intersect the monitor its workspace lives on
|
||||
(stranded by a topology change, or opened off-screen).
|
||||
6. Syncs `sunshine.conf`'s `output_name` to the live headless name.
|
||||
|
||||
### Self-healing (the watcher)
|
||||
|
||||
`watch` is designed so the setup **always converges**, not just when an event
|
||||
fires. Three layers:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Events** (fast path) — subscribes to Hyprland's socket:
|
||||
- `monitoradded` / `monitorremoved` → `apply` immediately (debounced 2s to
|
||||
coalesce the v1+v2 burst), then a `reconcile` 1.5s later to catch a
|
||||
workspace Hyprland reassigns to `DP-1` *after* apply already ran.
|
||||
- `openwindow` → targeted `rescue` if that window opened off-screen.
|
||||
2. **Periodic `reconcile` backstop** (every `RECONCILE_SECS`, default 8s) — a
|
||||
read-only drift check that runs `apply` **only when something is actually
|
||||
wrong** (no headless / DP-1 not mirroring / workspace trapped on a mirror /
|
||||
orphaned workspace / off-screen window). This is the guarantee: even if an
|
||||
event is missed entirely, the state self-heals within a few seconds. It does
|
||||
nothing when healthy, so there's no steady-state flicker.
|
||||
3. **Auto-reconnect** — if `socat` drops, the loop reconnects; if the session
|
||||
socket disappears (Hyprland gone) it exits cleanly so the next login's
|
||||
`exec-once` starts a fresh watcher (no cross-session duplicates).
|
||||
|
||||
So a monitor swap, a trapped workspace ("can't show workspace 1"), or an app
|
||||
that opens off-screen (OBS, `bluetui`, kdenlive have all done this) gets fixed
|
||||
automatically — near-instant via the event, or within ~8s via the backstop.
|
||||
Force a check manually anytime with `sunshine-headless-primary.sh reconcile`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical implementation notes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Always `hyprctl monitors all`**, never plain `hyprctl monitors` — a mirrored
|
||||
output is excluded from the plain list, i.e. invisible to exactly the outputs
|
||||
we manage. Plain form → the dedup loop spawns a new headless every run.
|
||||
- **`DP-1` must stay `normal` in `monitors.conf`.** It is the safety fallback: if
|
||||
the manager never runs, the physical screen still displays. Never hard-code
|
||||
`DP-1 … mirror,HEADLESS-1` statically — at cold boot `HEADLESS-1` doesn't exist
|
||||
yet and the screen could blank. The mirror is only ever added at runtime.
|
||||
- **Hotplug:** Omarchy's own `omarchy-hyprland-monitor-watch` only handles
|
||||
`monitorremoved`; our `watch` handles `monitoradded` to re-impose the mirror
|
||||
when the monitor is plugged back in.

## The network side (this bit is what actually blocks connections)
|
||||
|
||||
Streaming failing is usually **not** Sunshine. Two real blockers hit on JARVIS:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ufw rules pinned to the OLD subnet (the real outage)
|
||||
|
||||
The omarchy-moonlight installer opens the Sunshine ports in **ufw scoped to the
|
||||
LAN subnet**. After the LAN was renumbered `192.168.1.0/24 → 10.0.0.0/24`, the
|
||||
rules still said `192.168.1.0/24`, so every client on `10.0.0.x` was silently
|
||||
rejected (default-deny input) while `ssh` — rule `Anywhere` — kept working.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# symptom: from another LAN host, tcp/22 OPEN but 47984/47989/48010 BLOCKED,
|
||||
# yet the ports listen on 0.0.0.0 and answer locally.
|
||||
sudo ufw status verbose
|
||||
# fix — re-scope to the current subnet:
|
||||
sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/24 to any port 47984,47989,47990,48010 proto tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/24 to any port 47998,47999,48000,48010 proto udp
|
||||
sudo ufw reload
|
||||
# then delete the stale 192.168.1.0/24 rules (ufw status numbered; ufw delete N)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Rule of thumb: re-scope the omarchy-moonlight ufw rules after any network
|
||||
> renumber.** The ports are TCP `47984/47989/47990/48010` + UDP
|
||||
> `47998/47999/48000/48010`. `47990` (web UI) can stay closed — it's
|
||||
> localhost-locked anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. mDNS resolves to the Docker bridge
|
||||
|
||||
With Docker running, avahi advertises on the docker interfaces and
|
||||
`JARVIS.local` resolves to `172.17.0.1` (docker0) or an IPv6 link-local address —
|
||||
not `10.0.0.13`. Moonlight auto-discovery then targets an unreachable address.
|
||||
**Workaround: add the host in Moonlight by IP `10.0.0.13`.** Proper fix: restrict
|
||||
avahi to the real NIC(s):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf, under [server]:
|
||||
# allow-interfaces=enp7s0,wlan0
|
||||
# deny-interfaces=docker0,br-8482440f28f0
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon
|
||||
avahi-resolve -4 -n JARVIS.local # should print 10.0.0.13
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Verify
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# headless primary at 0x0, workspaces on it, DP-1 (if present) mirroring it
|
||||
hyprctl monitors all -j | jq -r '.[] | "\(.name) pos=\(.x)x\(.y) mirrorOf=\(.mirrorOf // "-")"'
|
||||
hyprctl workspaces -j | jq -r '.[] | "ws \(.id) -> \(.monitor)"'
|
||||
|
||||
# manager is idempotent (run twice; stays one headless)
|
||||
~/.local/share/omarchy-moonlight/bin/sunshine-headless-primary.sh apply
|
||||
|
||||
# hotplug watcher alive
|
||||
pgrep -af 'sunshine-headless-primary.sh watch'
|
||||
|
||||
# from another LAN host: all Sunshine ports reachable
|
||||
for p in 47984 47989 48010; do nc -vz 10.0.0.13 $p; done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then connect Moonlight (add host by IP `10.0.0.13`) → you should see your desktop
|
||||
whether or not the physical monitor is on.

## Gotchas & recovery
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stuck on the wrong/empty workspace after a monitor state change** — re-run
|
||||
the manager, or nudge manually:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
~/.local/share/omarchy-moonlight/bin/sunshine-headless-primary.sh apply
|
||||
# or, targeted:
|
||||
hyprctl dispatch moveworkspacetomonitor "1 HEADLESS-1"; hyprctl dispatch workspace 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **`hyprctl output remove HEADLESS-N`** returns "output not found" and exits 0
|
||||
for these — use `hyprctl keyword monitor "HEADLESS-N,disable"` or reboot.
|
||||
- **Re-running the omarchy-moonlight `install.sh`** regenerates `sunshine.conf`
|
||||
(re-enabling `global_prep_cmd`) and re-adds subnet-scoped ufw rules. Re-apply
|
||||
the headless-primary `sunshine.conf` settings and re-check ufw after any
|
||||
reinstall.
|
||||
- **Admin UI** is localhost-only (`origin_web_ui_allowed = pc`). Reach it via
|
||||
`ssh -L 47990:localhost:47990 lwoodard@10.0.0.13` then `https://localhost:47990`
|
||||
(note: `-L` local forward, not `-R`).
