  • 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…















  • 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?
