-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Loading Sequence Overview -- -- Since this is the most over-engineered conky config ever (actually probably), -- here are the approximate loading steps: -- -- 1. bootstrap (this file) -- 1. set up paths -- 2. find valid config (a yaml file, see convoluted reasoning below) -- 3. set up conky variables -- 2. run startup hook which does some insane dark magic including -- 1. arranging all modules on the screen -- 2. 'compiling' super fast functions that don't make computer lag -- 3. pre-drawing all the crap that doesn't change -- 4. checking various paths/exes so things don't crash for unknown reasons -- 3. run main loop -- -- NOTE: For all brave souls/AIs trying to understand this program, the biggest -- 'hack' is the fact that this file (conky.conf) is actually not really a -- config file. The 'real' config file is a yaml file which is validated -- using a yaml schema. This file is effectively a bootstrap file, but it is -- not meant to be 'configured' when migrating to a new machine. -- -- Why bother doing this? Because I got tired of hacking my hard-coded config -- when switching to different machines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- set up paths local conky_dir = debug.getinfo(1).source:match("@?(.*/)") local subdirs = { 'src/?.lua', 'src/modules/?.lua', 'src/widget/?.lua', 'src/widget/arc/?.lua', 'src/widget/text/?.lua', 'src/widget/timeseries/?.lua', 'src/widget/rect/?.lua', 'src/widget/line/?.lua', 'lib/share/lua/5.4/?.lua', 'lib/share/lua/5.4/?/init.lua', } for i = 1, #subdirs do subdirs[i] = conky_dir..subdirs[i] end package.path = table.concat(subdirs, ';') package.cpath = conky_dir..'lib/lib/lua/5.4/?.so;' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- select global config to use (fallback to default if none found) local yaml = require 'lyaml' local i_o = require 'i_o' local validate = require 'validate' local config_path = '/tmp/conky.yml' local try_read_config = function(path) local cmd = string.format('dhall-to-yaml --file %s > %s', path, config_path) return i_o.exit_code_cmd(cmd) end local find_valid_config = function(paths) for i = 1, #paths do local path = paths[i] local rc = try_read_config(path) if rc == 0 then i_o.infof('Using config at %s', path) local config = yaml.load(i_o.read_file(config_path)) validate.validate_config(config) return config else i_o.warnf('could not read %s; trying next', path) end end i_o.assertf(false, 'could not load valid config') end local get_config_dir = function() return (os.getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME") or os.getenv("HOME")..'/.config')..'/' end local try_config_paths = { get_config_dir()..'conky.dhall', conky_dir..'config/fallback.dhall' } local config = find_valid_config(try_config_paths) local bootstrap = config.bootstrap local startup_hook = string.format( 'start %f %s %s %s', bootstrap.update_interval, config_path, package.path, package.cpath ) conky.config = { background = false, -- adjust cpu dial sensitivity (1-14) cpu_avg_samples = 4, net_avg_samples = 1, out_to_console = false, own_window = true, own_window_type = 'override', own_window_transparent = true, own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager', xinerama_head = 0, double_buffer = true, minimum_width = bootstrap.dimensions.x, minimum_height = bootstrap.dimensions.y, draw_shades = false, draw_outline = false, draw_borders = false, gap_x = 0, gap_y = 0, alignment = 'top_left', no_buffers = true, -- Lua Load lua_load = conky_dir..'main.lua', lua_draw_hook_post = 'main', lua_startup_hook = startup_hook } --control updates entirely in lua conky.text = [[]]
