About the app

This, is basically a server that provides low latency video streaming of your desktop, and is mostly centered around gaming. To use it you need the moonlight client which can be found here -> https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt.

To start, after you've downloaded the server, you have to setup an account, after that ,on the moonlight client (on your lan) you can see your raspberry pi hostname (without the .local), Then you will see a screen saying that you need to input a pin in the sunshine web gui, then you have to got to the "PIN" section and put in the device name from the client and then you put in the pin code from your client, to your web gui. Then start gaming!

You say it is streaming the Pi's desktop if I understand correctly.
Is this like a view-only stream or does it work like remote desktop or Parsec?

[Cyberillc]

Its a remote desktop, and runs very smoothly, and its like parsec, thanks to its low latency, except its self-hosted!

Yeah Sunshine + Moonlight is OP. Been using Moonlight on at least a monthly basis for years and Sunshine for a few months since Nvidia Gamestream was deprecated and caused BSOD on a windows host (server). The main thing holding it back on linux host (server) side is its use of kmsgrab LizardByte/Sunshine#3327 on wayland sessions (which is performant but has some issues) and on x11 sessions the screen copy can be very performance intensive depending on the gpu driver support (though that is common to all video streaming applications and cannot be worked around).
