Hey Community!

i vaguely remember a post from a couple weeks ago that was about some way to stream games (either via SteamLink or Moonlight/Sunshine) from a Linux Server to a mini-PC...

I can't find it and i want to hear your opinions / experiences about this. I got a minisforum running BazziteOS hooked on my TV. I got a Server that has an Ryzen 5 2600X and NVidia GTX1660 Super with 16GB of RAM. This server runs my WhisperAPI for Home Assistant on GPU, Plex with HW-Transcoding that's why i put the GPU in there.

Now i thought about making it able to run games on that and be able to stream them on my MinisForum because the little one is struggling hard to get BG3 and comparable titles to run at acceptable quality :D

Does someone have experience with that or maybe even remembers the post i can't find anymore :D

Issue is that the host i plan to use is a headless ubuntu server. No DE, No Monitor.

I've researched a bit since posting and found that using sunshine directly is not the easiest route to pick here since their docker installation is still in early development and involves a lot of manual config and setup.

I'll go with https://games-on-whales.github.io/gow/running.html as they use sunshine but deliver a nearly completely configured docker-compose environment.

I ordered a HDMI dummy plug that i can use.

Ooh GoW looks quite neat!

As of this moment, it is broken though as they rebuild the project to use wolf instead of sunshine.

But the maintainer says they will be releasing in a few days; I talked to them and they helped me spin up the development version and that works really good! (still missing controller passthrough though :D)

Have you checked out this guide for headless server setup with sunshine? https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/about/guides/linux/headless_ssh.html#remote-ssh-headless-setup

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

yeah but i don't want to run it as a direct application.

My server is run entirely via docker and i want all my hosted stuff to be docker. And their docker setup requires a lot of manual setup, building your own image and all of that...

i will go for https://games-on-whales.github.io/gow/running.html
