# NextDNS Linux Trayicon

This small Python script and .desktop file add a quick toggle to the desktop
environment's system tray.

## Prerequisites

1. **NextDNS CLI**: The script controls the nextdns service. If you haven't installed it yet:

```bash
sh -c 'curl -sL https://nextdns.io/install | sh'
```

1. **Python 3 & PyQt6**: The interface is built using Python 3 and the Qt6
   toolkit. (This is installed by default on (K)ubuntu.)

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pyqt6
```

1. **Polkit Agent**: The script uses pkexec to handle start/stop commands safely. Most desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, XFCE) come with this pre-installed.

## Installation

1. **Copy the files to your home directory:**

```bash
# Create directories if they don't exist
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin ~/.local/share/applications ~/.local/share/icons
# Copy the specific files
cp home/.local/bin/nextdns-tray ~/.local/bin/
cp home/.local/share/applications/nextdns-tray.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
cp home/.local/share/icons/nextdns.png ~/.local/share/icons/
```

1. **Make the script executable**

```bash
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/nextdns-tray
```

1. **(Optional) Add to Autostart**: If you want the tray to start automatically when you log in:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
cp ~/.local/share/applications/nextdns-tray.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
```

### Installation (one-liner)

```bash
sh -c 'curl -sL https://nextdns.io/install | sh'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pyqt6
```

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin ~/.local/share/applications ~/.local/share/icons
cp home/.local/bin/nextdns-tray ~/.local/bin/
cp home/.local/share/applications/nextdns-tray.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
cp home/.local/share/icons/nextdns.png ~/.local/share/icons/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/nextdns-tray
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
cp ~/.local/share/applications/nextdns-tray.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
```
