Nestri is an open-source cloud gaming platform that runs games and apps inside hardware-accelerated micro-VMs and streams them to clients over QUIC with low latency. It combines a TypeScript control plane on Cloudflare Workers with Rust guest-side components for GPU-based video capture, audio transport, and input muxing.
Use cases
- stream games from a cloud GPU to any device
- self-host a personal cloud gaming platform on Linux
- run games in isolated micro-VMs sharing one GPU
- build a GeForce Now or Stadia alternative
- stream Windows games via Proton/Wine from Linux servers
- play games remotely from a Steam Deck or laptop
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, open-source cloud gaming stack you control
- you need multi-tenant GPU sharing via micro-VMs with native context
- you want low-latency streaming over QUIC with GPU-side encoding
- you prefer owning your gaming infrastructure over subscription services
When to avoid
- you need a stable, production-ready product today (the project is mid-rewrite with thin docs)
- you only want simple local streaming to one device (Moonlight/Sunshine is simpler)
- you lack a Linux host with a Wayland-capable GPU stack
- you cannot tolerate breaking changes and moving interfaces
