# Slideshow
The below commands will setup ```feh``` as a slideshow on your display.
## Important Notes
* ```feh``` will crash if there are no photos for it to use as a slideshow
* You will likely want to tweak the ```feh``` command invocation below. These are great settings as a starting point but you'll probably want to make adjustments for your use case.
* This setup uses ```incron``` to restart ```feh``` when photos are deleted from the pictures folder. Without this piece ```feh``` will crash if a picture is removed from the pictures directory prior to ```feh``` rescaning the pictures directory.
* We default to ```DejaVuSansMono``` as the font for display of EXIF data and filename. This is an open font and looks great on most displays. Any ```fontconfig``` font can be used in its place. Adjust according to your preferences.
## Setup
``` sh
pacman -S feh imagemagick ttf-dejavu
# reload 86400 is to refresh the list of images daily -- tune for preferred number of seconds
# slideshow-delay is number of seconds (as a float) between images ; tune accordingly
useradd -s /usr/bin/nologin -m feh
chmod a+rx /tank/pictures
pacman -S acl
setfacl -m "u:feh:rX" /tank/pictures
setfacl -dm "u:feh:rX" /tank/pictures
pacman -S incron
cat > /etc/incron.d/feh <<EOF
/tank/pictures IN_DELETE systemctl restart greetd
EOF
systemctl enable --now incrond
cat > /usr/local/bin/feh-slideshow.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/feh --auto-zoom --borderless --fullscreen --hide-pointer --image-bg black --randomize --recursive \
--slideshow-delay 300 --reload 86400 \
--draw-tinted --draw-exif --draw-filename \
--fontpath /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ --font DejaVuSansMono/10 \
--verbose \
/tank/pictures
EOF
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/feh-slideshow.sh
cat >> /etc/greetd/config.toml <<EOF
[initial_session]
command = "/usr/bin/cage /usr/local/bin/feh-slideshow.sh"
user = "feh"
EOF
systemctl restart greetd
```
