Looking for suggestions for game streaming server - eviltoast

Mostly I’m curious what people’s setups are. Are you using docker or a VM? Which tools are you using to stream and play your roms or steam games?

Looking for suggestions for myself as well… I’m on unraid and looking to support multiple users.

    If budget is no object it’s only kind of a pain in the ass with Nvidia’s vGPU solutions for data centers. Even with $10 grand spent there’s hypervisor compatibility issues, license servers, compatibility challenges with drivers for games/consumer OS’s on hypervisors, and other inane garbage.

    Consumer wise it’s technically the easiest it’s ever been with SRIOV support for hardware accelerating VMs on Intel 13 & 14 gen procs with iGPUs, however iGPU performance is kinda dogshit, drivers are wonky, and multiple display heads being passed through to VMs is weird for hypervisors.

    On the docker side of things YMMV based on what you’re trying to accomplish. Technically nvidia container toolkit does support CUDA & display heads for containers: https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/vulkan/tags. I haven’t gotten it working yet, but this is the basis for my next set of experiments.
