Wolf does use Sunshine for streaming.
Wolf is a full stack vs Sunshine being a single app. Wolf packages up your OS, Steam, and Sunshine in an entire container for you to run.
I did have a dedicated host and sunshine at one point. I find Wolf easier because containers and I can utilize my existing server hardware. Being able to fire up a docker and having it handle everything for me was easier than maintaining another PC.
Thanks for the break down. I researched both based on your post because my beefy gaming desktop is in our living room so my SO can play BG3 on it on a Windows partition (pre-native Linux), so my proxmox testing has taken a sideline.
Based on what you've said and what I've researched, I should be able to stream anything my PC can handle to both my deck, and to the Anbernic Win600 I bought my SO.
I really just need to max my ram out to 128gb and maybe throw in my R9 390 as a secondary GPU.
If you have a dedicated PC, no Proxmox required. You could just put Debian and Docker, throw Wolf on top. Having dual GPU in a Proxmox host could be great though. You could use one GPU for the host and passthrough the second GPU to a VM that is exclusively used for Wolf.
I say this because I know that running docker nested inside of an LXC is generally frowned upon, though I have about half a dozen LXCs doing this. I also think my issue with Doom Dark Ages might be related to it not liking being on a docker container, on a LXC, on a Linux host. I have wondered if the very strict DRM in Doom isn't bugging out?
One beefy GPU should easily handle two handhelds since the resolution tends to be low. 128GB of RAM would be great but I get by with 64GB for my Proxmox host and it is pretty heavily utilized.
Good luck with your project!
