You either die a SpongeBob or live long enough to become a Squidward.
If you want to stream games there is a GitHub user called Games-on-whales. He has two docker programs that are effectively a game streaming server capable of serving multiple users.
It's not fully developed yet and I encountered a few issues while testing it, but it was very quick and easy to setup.
I have been using mealie and it has been very good.
I'll definitely set up an instance when I get some spare time.
Once you have it mature, you should reach out to Craft Computing on YouTube. He did a ~16 video series on different ways to build a private game streaming server and I believe what you have here would be much more achievable for a normal person.
That's great to hear. This might be the holy grail of game streaming server setups. I could build one strong server with one gpu and have it serve an arbitrary number of clients. Since they are all effectively Linux desktops, they should have a wide range of compatibility via WINE and emulators.
I did some more research and came up with another question: Does Vulkan work on AMD GPUs?
Does it matter what kind of GPU you have? Would any GPU be able to run multiple gaming instances at the same time?
If I made my own instance would the domain of my server be exposed everywhere I submit or comment or is there a way to keep that from being published?
Excellent work! I am glad to see this project coming along nicely.
I tested it a while back and was looking forward to updates. I have a few questions:
Is each "game entry" in moonlight a shared instance? If a player loaded it up, would they share save files with others that have already played? Also what would happen if two players loaded the app at the same time?
How would I go about making a generic linux desktop from a given Linux distro?
