NixOS module request: sunshine

[Cryolitia]

Project description

Sunshine has already been packaged here in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/servers/sunshine/default.nix

But it doesn't come out of the box just by nix run nixpkgs#sunshine, according to https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/19137rt/getting_sunshine_to_run/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/12bjfam/sunshine_error/ and https://discourse.nixos.org/t/sunshine-self-hosted-game-stream/25608 , at least it needs a security.wrappers and maybe boot.kernelModules = [ "uinput" ]; . It would be better if we could add a NixOS module for it to make it availale just by sth. like services.sunshine.enable or programs.sunshine.enable .

This has been on my to-do list for ages :) The module itself wouldn't be a huge deal, and I think I have a plan for tests, just need some time to work on it.

I actually started working on this a while ago. My module can create valid sunshine.conf and apps.json files (i.e. they work when I start sunshine manually) and open the necessary ports, however I couldn't get the systemd service to function properly. If I recall correctly, the issue was related to getting access to the screen.

Here is what I have so far, maybe it can help someone:

Thanks @so-lar-is! I used yours as inspiration and opened #294641 for this. It's still a draft -- I need to work on the tests -- but any testing or comments are welcome. I've tested on Plasma 6 + Wayland + AMD and seems to work, have not tested much with Xorg or NVIDIA.

Think it's got all the functionality I had planned -- marked as ready for review.
