Hello everyone! 👋

For the past year I had fun messing around with Docker containers, Moonlight/Sunshine and HW acceleration; so much so that I’ve ended up building a Gamestream server from scratch!

The basic underlying idea is to allow the followings:

  • Share a single server (possibly headless but doesn’t have to be) with multiple users
  • by creating virtual HW accelerated desktops
  • whilst keeping remote mouse, keyboard and controllers completely separated
  • with low latency

It’s still rough around the edges, and it needs more testing from the community; if you want to check it out, here you can read the docs and here’s the Github repo.

    Very nice! I’ve been on the hunt for a headless gamestream solution but not found something yet so will definitely be watching this project.

    On first run it was failing to work, console log was showing http errors.

    Also, it looks like lots of things run with Docker priveleged=true / root permissions? That’s a no-go in my book. Any reason why?

      Would you like to open up an issue on Github or share some logs in our Discord channel?

      Are you talking about Games on Whales compose file and script? That’s a bit legacy as things are right now, Wolf does run all containers as unprivileged by default

        Oops! Mixed up the two repos. Thanks for clarifying.

        I’ll post a log as well with the error I’m getting.
