Top 6 C++ Moonlight Projects

Sunshine

Self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight.

Project mention: Why is remote desktop slow when host monitor is off unless HDMI cable is used? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

RDP as a regular or quick solution is actually really decent in this respect.

Moonlight port for Nintendo Switch

Project mention: What if I played here on android | /r/SwitchPirates | 2023-06-02

wolf

6 242 9.1 C++

Stream virtual desktops and games running in Docker

Project mention: Kubernetes-Native Retro Game Streaming Written in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-21

Referenced in one of the dockerfiles: https://games-on-whales.github.io/gow/overview.html is certainly the more reasonable approach to streaming games off docker/kubernetes.
Their sunlight alternative https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf adding multiple tenants is neat as well. Definitely going to give it a spin on some intel iGpu nodes.

17 69 0.0 C++

Launch anything in HDR mode using Moonlight
