Gaming in Docker

All credits to https://github.com/Steam-Headless/docker-steam-headless This project was made for personal-use only, but all contributions are welcome via PRs.

The goal is to have single-docker image endpoint for retro and some-modern gaming through Moonlight (https://github.com/moonlight-stream) with (maybe) multi-client support.

Changes from original project (docker-steam-headless):

• Ubuntu 22.04 based
• Added EmulationStation-DE (from https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de)
• Added RetroArch via PPA (with PPA-cores and assets)
• Added PCSX2 via PPA
• Added XEMU via PPA
• Added RPCS3 via appimage
• Added YUZU via appimage
• Migrated to new Sunshine branch (from https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine)
• Added all mesa packages
• Deleted: SSH/dind
• No Host X server support

TODO:

• More refactoring and plug&play
  • Need Help: Closing applications from Moonlight with retaining session - starting is working, but not closing. Also when pausing session in moonligt - app gets killed (Simillar issue here: Steam-Headless#23)
  • Need Help: Resolve High CPU Usage (i guess because of a dummy xorg driver. Probably will be fixed with Wayland)
  • Supervise EmulationStation
  • Get rid of many sh init scripts (move to entrypoint or Dockerfile)
• Add More Emulators
  • Wine/Lutris for Windows Games
  • Xenia
  • Preinstall more cores to RA
• Github workflows
  • Build and publish latest image
  • Dockerfile testing
  • Shell testing

Long-distance TODO:

• Rendering application window only (Wayland?)
• Test HW Acceleration of Sunshine encoding - seems to be working, but vainfo doesnt give anything, needs proper testing on all GPU vendors
  • AMD
  • NVIDIA
  • Intel
• Test 3D HW Acceleration in games
  • AMD
  • NVIDIA
  • Intel
• Make image more lightweight with package trimming
• Create virtual application windows dimensions based on the client (Resolution/HDR, now its hardcoded in xorg.conf and ENV) or in docker-compose
• Different images for different GPUs?
• Multi-tenant
