Wow it’s the first time that I see someone suggesting my project out in the wild, thanks! Here’s the Wolf quickstart guide
Unfortunately Windows is not supported at the moment, I’m not even sure it’s possible to implement what we currently have in Linux.
With time, we can probably explore other platforms as well.
That’s exactly the use case, virtual HW accelerated desktops isolated from the host.
There’s practically no performance hit apart from a young codebase that probably needs more testing and polishing…
Shameless plug: Wolf is an alternative to Sunshine that allows you to run multiple simultaneous stream via Docker
Thanks, I wasn’t expecting everyone to take this so seriously, it was supposed to be funny…
Thanks for your high value contribution to this tread!
Well now it’s becoming kind of a challenge: will AWS terminate/migrate the instance at some point, or will I be forced to reboot?
It’s not internet facing and no port is opened, all it does is fire up a notification if/when something doesn’t reply.
Even in the unlikely scenario that someone gain access to it (nobody did in the last ~4 years) that means that my VPN is already compromised and I’ve got bigger problems to worry about.
Sounds super interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely check it out later!
Quick question: are both docker and fs based on top of ssh or are there any more requirements? For example, do you expect the docker socket to be available over the network or do you open an ssh connection and then access the docker socket from there?
Thanks for all the tips, this is exactly the kind of things I was looking for that I wasn’t thinking about. I guess I’ll go with 3/4U since it looks like it’s the easy solution to fit everything in.
The last question I’ve got is about the Sata backplate that some of them have in the front, is that compatible with any home PSU/Motherboard or does that require some special HW? I guess for SAS I would need an additional PCI card in order to support it, right?
Thanks, that’s very helpful! I couldn’t find much on Amazon but I can find some different retailers with better googling…
I guess the fans can be easily replaced since they seem normal-sized but now I’m wondering about the PSU, it looks like only some 4U can accommodate an ATX power supply but that would limit my choice immensely.
Are there any “server shaped” PSUs (how are they called?) that are also silent?
I would like to give it a go anyway even if it’ll end up not meeting the WAR! I quite like the idea of having it all in an enclosed and tied up space…
Makes sense, as for the HTTP errors someone else reported on the Discord server that it might happen if you had previously paired on that host with Sunshine. If you unpair from Moonlight and pair again it seems to work
On first run it was failing to work, console log was showing http errors.
Would you like to open up an issue on Github or share some logs in our Discord channel?
Also, it looks like lots of things run with Docker priveleged=true
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
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.
Thanks! If you manage to try it out please let us know how it goes!
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.
I don’t have a lot of experience in k8s but the basic principle should work; at the moment Wolf connects directly to the Docker socket in order to spin up and down apps on demand.
I guess there might be some issues in passing the required socket files to the pods, but the whole running model can be changed in theory. Instead of having a single Wolf process you have one front instance that deals with clients and the Moonlight protocol which in turns starts new Wolf pods with the app running that then feed audio and video stream directly to clients.
Definitely do-able, just needs some proper thinking and probably a proper REST API
Not fully open source and trying to get paid subscriptions even before having a product doesn’t sound too good to me…
