I'm not sure if this is the right place for this issue so please let me know if it's not.

One issue I have when using wolf is my system going to sleep (hypridle) while I'm playing a game on wolf. Disabling hypridle all together is not an appealing idea since the reason I'm using wolf is to have a seamless experience where I can use my pc normally while others play.

My suggestion is to add an option to inhibit sleep when starting one of the apps. This could be done using systemd-inhibit to wrap the docker run command that I'm assuming wolf-ui is using. If this is too specific then a "wrapper-cmd" option would be good too.

This was discussed in Discord and afaik a solution was shared but im not certain what the answer was. Imo this should be better handled by Wolf directly since the Wolf server is the instance that calls the docker API and Wolf-UI only uses the Wolf API to ask for Wolf to start a container, since that also helps abstract away what kind of container system is used.

That sounds reasonable. Should I close this one and make a new issue there?

Yeah, but search the issues first maybe there is one already open.
