Alternative to Steam Link/Sunshine? in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Unfortunately Docker containers and terminal coding is a bit over my head.

That's absolutely understandable, getting comfortable with the terminal is definitely the first step to be able to shove that PC in a closet. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ideally, in the meantime I'll have made all this stack even easier to run!

We support podman, you just have to enable the Podman System Service so that Wolf can use that socket to spin up and down additional containers.

I really should add a section in the quickstart guide..

Shameless plug: I'm the main developer of Games on Whales.

I've built Wolf exactly because of those shortcomings of other solutions: it runs fully headless, spins up virtual Wayland desktops that matches the resolution/FPS that's requested from the clients and everything runs in Docker so it doesn't pollute your host OS (just your HDD).

I'm currently working on a massive performance improvement in this PR if you'd like to try it, I'd suggest to pick that tag.

Games on Whales - Stream multiple desktops and games from a single host (games-on-whales.github.io)
 

After 3 years in the making I'm excited to announce the launch of Games on Whales, an innovative open-source project that revolutionizes virtual desktops and gaming. Our mission is to enable multiple users to stream different content from a single machine, with full HW acceleration and low latency.

With Games on Whales, you can:

  • Multi-user: Share a single remote host hardware with friends or colleagues, each streaming their own content (gaming, productivity, or anything else!)
  • Headless: Create virtual desktops on demand, with automatic resolution and FPS matching, without the need for a monitor or dummy plug
  • Advanced Input Support: Enjoy seamless control with mouse, keyboard, and joypads, including Gyro and Acceleration support (a first in Linux!)
  • Low latency: Uses the Moonlight protocol to stream content to a wide variety of supported clients.
  • Linux and Docker First: Our curated Docker images include popular applications like Steam, Firefox, Lutris, Retroarch, and more!
  • Fully Open Source: MIT licensed, and we welcome contributions from the community.

Interested in how this works under the hood? You can read more about it in our developer guide or deep dive into the code.

How to prettify an homelab into a rack? (lemmy.world)
 

I've turned a couple of old desktop computers into my homelab. They are currently "stacked" on top of each other with a Raspy, router and switch on top and a UPS on the side.

To my eye this looks "pretty enough" but it doesn't score high on the Wife Approval Rating and I would really like to turn it into a "pretty" little rack. Hence, the question: how to do it? Which parts should I get?
I'm mainly having a hard time finding some kind of "rack case" so that I can insert my desktop HW into it; should I buy a server and strip it out?

Just a few more info:

  • My homelab is extremely silent (since it sits close to my desk) and I would very much like to keep it this way. I absolutely don't want server fans screaming at me all the time.
  • It would be cool to have a "NAS like" enclosure for the NAS drives that currently sit inside a normal desktop case.
  • I'm UK based, I know in the US might be easier to get all this stuff, but any tip or help is highly appreciated anyway.
