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.

    Wow, this is impressive. Already seems quite stable, I got it running straight away on a headless machine with an Intel i5-7400T running Ubuntu 22.04. I think I need to do some optimising, but I can already use it as a somewhat convoluted way to get proper adblocking on an iPad!

    I noticed a small mistake in the docs - the docker run command in the quickstart is missing a backslash.

    The PulseAudio container also doesn’t stop when the main wolf container stops - not sure if that’s expected behaviour or not.

    I’m excited to see where this project goes, I can see a bunch of uses for this running graphical application remotely.

      Thanks for trying it out and for the feedback, I’m glad it works!

      You are right, we should probably stop and remove the pulse container; I’ll add it to the things that needs to be improved.
