Waypipe works with Byhve to display applications running in the vm on Freebsd

waypipe is a proxy for Wayland clients.

Network transparency with Wayland

gitlab.freedesktop.org

It forwards Wayland messages and serializes changes to shared memory buffers over a single socket.
This makes application forwarding similar to ssh -X feasible.

On Freebsd

doas pkg install waypipe

On Ubuntu/debian - imv is a wayland image viewer i used in the test

sudo apt install waypipe imv

Run waypipe with ssh and the application to run in the bhyve vm

waypipe ssh djwilcox@192.168.1.236 imv-wayland /home/djwilcox/input.png

I'm using it and it is rather efficient and the applications windows of remote apps are well integrated with the local apps, thanks to Wayland protocols. I like it.

The other advantage is instead of opening a vnc connection and launching the app from inside the vm
you can open the app from the freebsd side
