of-lobbies

Watch OpenFront.io public lobbies from Waybar or the terminal.

Hover the module to see all three lobby categories. The bar shows the active category's featured lobby.

Components

• bin/of-lobbies-daemon — background watcher, writes Waybar status JSON
• bin/of-lobbies — optional terminal lobby watcher
• waybar/ — Waybar scripts and config snippets
• systemd/of-lobbies.service — user service for the daemon

Requirements

• Python 3 with websockets (pip install websockets)
• Waybar
• pyenv shims on PATH for the systemd service

Install

./install.sh
systemctl --user enable --now of-lobbies.service

Add the snippets from waybar/config.snippet.jsonc and waybar/style.css.snippet to your Waybar config if not already present.

Usage

Click the Waybar module to cycle modes:

off → teams → special → individual

When a watch mode is active, the daemon keeps a WebSocket to wss://openfront.io/w0/lobbies. In off mode it stays idle with no network connection.

Terminal watcher:

of-lobbies
of-lobbies --mode teams

Runtime state

Stored under ~/.local/state/of-lobbies/:

• mode — current watch mode
• status.json — latest Waybar output
