Autostart
This guide will help you configure Noti to start automatically.
Understanding Environment Variables
Before proceeding, note that Noti respects the following environment variables:
| Variable | Default Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
$XDG_DATA_HOME | ~/.local/share | User-specific data files |
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME | ~/.config | User-specific configuration files |
WARNING:
Paths may vary depending on your distribution or desktop environment. Ensure the configuration file is readable byNotiif placed in a non-default location.
Autostarting Noti
There are two ways to autostart the notification daemon:
-
Within a Wayland session (Recommended) Simpler and integrates with your desktop session.
-
Without a Wayland session (Advanced) For headless/embedded setups or non-session environments.
NOTE:
This documentation assumes a systemd-based Linux distribution. If you use OpenRC, SysV, or another init system, please adapt the examples or contribute a guide.
