Greeter
I use greetd with gtkgreet as the greeter/login manager. Because this is installed and configured as a system level service, its configuration cannot be managed by chezmoi. Thankfully, when using cage, it's as straightforward as using the following configuration file:
[terminal]
# The VT to run the greeter on. Can be "next", "current" or a number
# designating the VT.
vt = 1
# The default session, also known as the greeter.
[default_session]
# `agreety` is the bundled agetty/login-lookalike. You can replace `/bin/sh`
# with whatever you want started, such as `sway`.
command = "GTK_THEME='Adwaita:dark' cage -s -- gtkgreet --background /usr/share/backgrounds/archlinux/wild.png --layer-shell"
# The user to run the command as. The privileges this user must have depends
# on the greeter. A graphical greeter may for example require the user to be
# in the `video` group.
user = "greeter"
This only requires installing greetd, gtkgreet, cage and the archlinux backgrounds packages. Unlike the setup with sway, this doesn't require a loose formation of configuration files.
