An intelligent wolf is better than a foolish lion.

— Matshona Dhliwayo.

Wolf is a streaming server for Moonlight that allows you to share a single server with multiple remote clients in order to play videogames!

Wolf basic flow chart

It's made from the ground up with the following primary goals:

  • Allow multiple users to stream different content by sharing a single remote host hardware
  • On demand creation of virtual desktops with full support for any resolution/FPS without the need for a monitor or a dummy plug.
  • Allow multiple GPUs to be used simultaneously for different jobs
    • Example: stream encoding on iGPU whilst gaming on GPU
  • Provide low latency video and audio stream with full support for gamepads
  • Linux and Docker first: run your games with low privileges in containers (based on Games On Whales)
  • Mostly hackable, just edit the config file to modify encoding pipelines, GPU settings or Docker/Podman low level details

It's a specific tool for a specific need, are you looking for a general purpose streaming solution? Try out Sunshine!
