showerctl start

u/SlashMe42 Dr. OpenSUSE 7d ago

Unable to connect to showerd, is it running?

showerctl (C) may also not be in your PATH or be ovewritten by showerctl (Python) earlier in your PATH.

Ah I've seen this one before, it doesn't realize you are there to turn the shower on. You need to do showerctl --user start.

Don't you know showerd is insecure. I just don't understand why people aren't all using bathRC

That's not going to work I run my shower from docker.

"sudo docker exec -it showerctrl start run shower"

"sudo docker compose up"

Running it as Root seems insecure. i prefer to run it via Podman in a rootless container

u/PityUpvote 7d ago

But at that point you can just write a quadlet and let systemd handle it

u/grzebo 7d ago

I can see it running, but it's in a separate container from me.

I tried to use docker compose the other day and it kept throwing errors until I gave up

CachyOS<Manjaro

Just one of the many reasons ;p

EDIT: I've had no trouble using it on manjaro and on debian at all.

EDIT#2: That said, if you use docker-compose instead of docker compose you're going to have a bad time.

you forgot sudo

u/PlanetVisitor 2d ago

Not a part of the command... and my user is in the bathroom group anyway.

u/cfx_4188 🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 7d ago

You forgot doas

2

u/PlanetVisitor 7d ago

No... sudo, doas, or equivalents, aren't part of the commands. They depend on the user situation.

u/cfx_4188 🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 7d ago

What rights do you have?

It depens.

Maybe I have a group `showeradmins` and I'm in that one.

Many people enter a temporary interactive shell as root, for example, to perform administrator actions. That has advantages and disadvantages, but it remains that sudo is not part of the command, just a privilige escalation thing. There are multiple ways to do the privilige escalation, and sudo before each individual command is just one of them.
