Self Hosting ☁

There is no way to self-host the infrastructure of LibreRemotePlay because it has no backend. But instead you can self-host if you want the TURN & STUN servers and then add them to the config or the EasyConnectServer.

• If you want to self-host a TURN/STUN server you can try Coturn. (This is only an example, you can choose other STUN/TURN implementations)

• Also you can host the Web version (but it is only frontend, so is not very usefull)

• If you want to self-host an EasyConnectServer you can follow the docs of EasyConnectServer repo, this service is also packed in the desktop app and run in app startup but instead you can launch it along. EasyConnectServer is a signaling server that makes code passing in an automatic way.

Run Dev

Prerequisites

• You must have Task CLI, Wails CLI, NodeJS (~v20.x.x), pnpm and Golang (min v1.22.4) installed.

• Make sure to run wails doctor and install all the required dependencies for your system, also take a look at platform specific dependencies

How to

Go to the root project folder and run

• Full App :

  $ task dev-all

• Frontend:

  $ task dev-front

Build

Prerequisites

Acknowledgements ❤

These projects are making LibreRemotePlay a reality.

Thanks to jbdemonte/virtual-device

jbdemonte/virtual-device is the source of magic that enables LibreRemotePlay to generate virtual gamepads on Linux, is very fast and made in pure Go.

Thanks to the ViGEm project

ViGEmBus is the source of magic that enables LibreRemotePlay to generate virtual gamepads on Windows. We embed ViGEmBus Installation Wizard and ViGEmBus Client DLLS within the executable for Windows

Thanks to Wails

Wails makes easy creating desktop experiences using Go and Web tecnologies.

Thanks to pion/webrtc

Pion/Webrtc is a implementation of WebRTC made in pure Go, it enables LibreRemotePlay to use WebRTC in a crossplatform way.

Thanks to robotgo

robotgo makes easy controling/simulating a keyboard (and anything related to desktop) using a simple syntax in Go.

Did you like the project 👍 ?

You can give us a star and join our Discord Community, the project is always looking for feedback :)

Are you interested in other gaming projects 🤔?

You may be interested in GameLinkSafeCLI is like ngrok but works with TCP/UDP without account and no need to self-host in normal enviroments. Can be used like a hamachi alternative for gamers who are familiar with CLIs.
