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

    Ah I don’t know much about sunshine and your specific setup. But I know docker can be a pain getting access to devices like graphics cards. Maybe try running natively?

      I’ve got my GPU running in docker when i wanted to use hw transcoding on my Plex docker. So this is already cleared.

      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.
