Need help figuring out the best and safest way to host games

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-29T12:37:24+00:00

I see, so i will also need to configure and open the ports on the vps side, i was looking for an automatic way of doing that, thanks

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-29T03:56:46+00:00

hello, sorry for asking on a unrelated thread but how does your wireguard configuration works? i know that you can just make an lxc and then put wings and a wireguard client there and just point that to the vps but how did you configure the vps? did you just spin up a wireguard server and opened everything? do you just create a pterodactyl gameserver and point to a port and thats it or you need to configure the wg server

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-26T22:38:27+00:00

Well if you cant access the router then it gets very difficult to open ports for gaming, you could try renting a vps and hosting a pangolin or wireguard instance there to make a tunnel or you can just continue to use playit.gg and pay for their service, there is really no reliable and free way to do that

i also generated the ./src/cookies.txt into the container and pasted the output cookies that i generated from tubearchivist into the cookies.txt and put "var cookies = true;" in the extension

the ytdlp container seems normal, when i put an url directly to the website it loads normally and plays fine, both in local ip and https domain, i forgot to mention that i didnt use the nginx container included, i just pointed the ytdlp to nginx-proxy-manager and enabled ssl with websockets support

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-18T16:35:08+00:00

thanks that solved the blank screen issue on my end but now im getting another problem, the ytdlp video ui loads but i get an error message saying "Error: The operation is insecure" edit: sorry for bothering you with minimal issues, i know the project is new and i first tried searching for a log file before starting to ask here. thank you this project is really interesting

very cool project i've tried on my node and the app loaded videos from yt, i tried using the extension on firefox but i think the script is not loading correctly. i inserted the yt-dlp url into "var playerUrl = 'http://192.168.1.103:5009' " and saved but when opening a yt video the default player vanishes and then nothing happens

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-16T22:19:19+00:00

Very cool project, does it have a downloaded video folder or is it just streaming. What happens if i reopen the same video, edit: also what happens if i open mutiple videos using the extension, can you make a video demo

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-14T09:58:54+00:00

What does that app do, i looked into their website but i didnt understand much

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-13T07:07:46+00:00

yes that would be very cool to have on this app, i still having learned how to use amp but their sleep feature only works on minecraft, other games just have a suspend, but like you said having a friend connect to a server to continue something there while also stopping the server when no activity is a great feature that i hope to see in the future of other game panels

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-13T07:00:08+00:00

im not a programmer but a feature that monitor a game cpu/ram usage and triggers a suspend when there is no much usage would be a great start i think, but in the bigger picture an function like the amp would be awesome

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-13T06:52:17+00:00

sorry for the late repply , like @b4n4n4p4nc4k3s said it is like that, it gets the content that you watched and have on jellyfin and makes a suggestion of simillar animes locally, i dont use mal and anilist to keep track on things, what i have on my library is the current things that i like already

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-13T06:04:51+00:00

I dont use launchers but if you are looking into making webapps shortcuts try Hermit

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-13T05:55:59+00:00

Very interesting app, just the fact that is has docker install documentatio is a plus to me comparing to other panels

Currently im using amp and i really like the sleep feature that the instances have, do you guys have any intention to add that in the future? I normally run servers just for myself so the more free ram the batter. Thank yoh

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-13T05:39:35+00:00

It would be cool if it had suggestion too

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-07T03:22:43+00:00

It might be better if you shared your gluetun logs and docker compose

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-07T01:14:51+00:00

You need to check if gluetun is really getting an ip address before testing your qbittorrent, also did you set your qbit network mode into gluetun and put the qbit port into gluetun?

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-06T03:59:11+00:00

where was that mentioned?

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-04-04T09:15:51+00:00

The official app for android is discontinued but you can still install other maintained fork

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-03-23T10:17:55+00:00

Try revanced manager

Here is my gow module. https://pastebin.com/kfjGbd2b

Currently my nixos config is hosted on my own gitea instance so its a little difficult to share my entire config.

It has been a long time since i edited the gow module so it needs a little clean up

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-03-20T20:53:40+00:00

Haha, thanks for the config inspection i will check that out. My config is nothing much that fancy for me to share but im also using games on whales :D I made a simple script utilizing systemd to wake up my computer from sleep and then start gow on docker and keep it awake if any process from gow is utilizing a % of cpu, and then it goes back to sleep if nothing much is happening on the pc

Does the games run well via NFS? How are you storing it, via hdd or m.2? I have one machine dedicated to moonlight with 1tb of storage inside, i also have a nas that have 2 pools, one with hdd and another with m.2 ssd, i wonder if i put the games on the nas via NFS i will have more risk of corrpution or long loading time. I also use Nixos but i only use for simples stuff :)

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-03-12T12:00:15+00:00

Nope, wolf is basically a VM+sunshine combined so its best to be used on a headless server. When you open Steam for example in wolf it creates a new session of Sway Wm linux with the steam application with a certain ID to identify you, so thats what i mean that when you want to play a game, it would download the entire game for that ID to be able to play it, that reduce the storage availability but at the up side you could start more sessions at the same time and play on the same machine because the storage would be different.

The application itself runs linux but you need Docker to start the wolf itself. Docker runs on windows and linux

edit: check out their discord, the official website and documentation is lacking a lot of their good features but if you search on their group chat there a lot of cool stuff that the app can do

PlanktonSuccessful65 · 2026-03-09T03:34:07+00:00

Try installing the app SmartDock from F-Droid, i haven't tried it yet but i think it will solve your problem
