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.
Whoa, what a cool project! It seems like way more than I need for single-user purposes, but I’ve been relying on Moonlight, Sunshine, and Chiaki quite a lot more than I ever expected to since I ended up taking quite a liking to using the Steam Deck as a pseudo thin-client. Kind of the best of both worlds letting another machine do the heavy lifting somewhere else in the house, so any advancements in the local game streaming space are extremely welcome to see.
Yeah the Steam Deck is such a perfect target for Moonlight I use it for all the demanding games that I can’t run properly natively or when playing on the couch with a big screen.
