Wolf is a C++ streaming server for Moonlight that creates on-demand virtual desktops and game sessions in Docker containers on a shared Linux host. It supports multiple simultaneous users, multi-GPU setups, low-latency video/audio streaming, and gamepad passthrough.
Use cases
- stream games from a Linux server to Moonlight clients
- share one gaming PC among multiple remote users
- run games in Docker containers with low privileges
- create virtual displays without a dummy plug
- encode streams on an iGPU while gaming on a discrete GPU
- stream a remote desktop with gamepad support
When to choose
- you need multi-user game streaming from a single Linux host
- you want containerized, sandboxed game sessions
- you need virtual displays at arbitrary resolutions/FPS
- you want a hackable, config-driven streaming pipeline
When to avoid
- you just need a simple single-user streaming server (use Sunshine)
- your host is Windows or macOS
- you don't use Docker or containers
