Great questions!
Did you look into memory deduplication?
For the Steam library I suppose? There’s been some discussions around it both in Discord and Github #83 #69 It’s something that I should definitely research further but I’d really like to address it even if it’s just something that might be done outside of our container… Would you like to help us?
Is client software sunshine or custom software?
Wolf is an implementation of a full Moonlight backend from scratch; there’s has been many reasons for this but mostly it’s because Sunshine has a lot of global and intertwined state and it would be very hard to add support for multiple independent users. I try to contribute upstream where possible; for example I’ve helped merging our custom library for virtual inputs so that users of Sunshine could also benefit from the new virtual joypad implementation and support for Gyro, Acceleration and so on…
What’s the killer feature of Lunas that’s missing from Rsync?
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…
The patches aren’t included by default because I’m not sure about the legality of them and I really don’t want to get into troubles over this. I should research a bit more into this though.
