A headless Steam Docker image that runs a full Steam client and Xfce4 desktop on Linux with NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel GPU support. It enables remote game streaming via browser (noVNC), Moonlight, Sunshine, or Steam Remote Play.
Use cases
- run a headless steam server in docker
- stream pc games to moonlight client
- host a steam remote play server
- play games in the browser with audio
- set up a cloud gaming server with nvidia gpu
- install lutris heroic emudeck in a container
- remote desktop gaming server on unraid
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted game streaming host deployable in seconds
- you need GPU-accelerated Steam in a container on a headless Linux server
- you want Moonlight/Sunshine or browser-based remote play without a physical display
When to avoid
- you need a native desktop gaming setup rather than a container
- you cannot pass a GPU to Docker or lack compatible drivers
- you want persistent storage outside mounted volumes, since non-home paths are wiped on updates
