Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/129

Hi,

I was trying to set this up on WSL2 with Docker using the NVIDIA compose.yaml and also CLI approach from https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/user/quickstart.html

I am able to confirm that docker has access to my NVIDIA GPU with

docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.6.1-runtime-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi

I then proceeded to try the following CLI command on WSL2 ubuntu22.04 as recommended for WSL2 in the quickstart:

docker run \
    --name wolf \
    --network=host \
    -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/sockets \
    -v /tmp/sockets:/tmp/sockets:rw \
    -e HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER=/etc/wolf \
    -v /etc/wolf:/etc/wolf:rw \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw \
    --device /dev/dri/ \
    ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable

This starts up, but I am not able to get much out of http://localhost:47989

curl http://localhost:47989
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root status_code="404"/>

And I'm also not able to pair Moonlight with it when I put localhost in moonlight It doesn't say anything. I'm not sure what the expected behavior is here.

Here is the log I get from starting up the docker container:

Update.

This might have been related to me having another sunshine server running that I wasn't aware of and I shut down. I also noticed in the logs that it complained about the uid being used. In https://hub.docker.com/r/lizardbyte/sunshine they included PUID and GUID environmental variables, so I included them in my docker command as well. So I ran it with

docker run \
    --name wolf \
    -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/sockets \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e TZ=America/New_York \
    -v /tmp/sockets:/tmp/sockets:rw \
    -e HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER=/etc/wolf \
    -v /etc/wolf:/etc/wolf:rw \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw \
    --device /dev/dri/ \

    ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable

And this time I was able to get moonlight to register Wolf on localhost. When it asked for a pin to pair on, I noticed the docker logs sent me a URL on port 47989 that I was able to access and complete the pairing. Then in Moonlight I was presented with multiple systems, I tried Firefox but it was a black screen and I also wasn't sure how to get out back into my system from that. Pressing many keys quickly seemed to have crashed the docker container.

The last of the logs on that was

I also see now that I can do (on Windows 11) Ctrl+Shift+Alt+x to toggle the moonlight stream out of fullscreen view then Windows to regain control over the mouse in my host environment.

The Test ball functions, but Firefox, Lutris, Pegasus, RetroArch, and Steam give black screens. The Quickstart did mention that a black screen will show up initially as Wolf needs to download data about the container, but I am not seeing any Download indications in the Wolf docker logs or in the WolfFirefox_... container. I can see in https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/73#issuecomment-2149031219 that this is not yet implemented or easy to, but so far, nothing seems to change the black screen as I wait.

When running firefox, it remains in black screen for a long time. The Wolf docker logs show very long trace logs that if I type on the keyboard lead them to freeze and I no longer can move the mouse in the firefox black screen moonlight stream:

Here are also some logs for the Wolf docker container when sometimes the Firefox container crashes and it complains about failing to load driver like kms_swrast:

So is this not intended to be used in a general purpose desktop environment way?

Hi Mohammed,

From the details that you've provided you have quite a few issues 😅

So is this not intended to be used in a general purpose desktop environment way?

You are running Wolf under WSL2 and as the docs clearly points out, this is experimental and not properly tested.

Screenshot 2024-09-28 at 09 45 59

With that said, you also have a few issues just by looking at your logs:

WARN  | Software H264 encoder detected
WARN  | Software HEVC encoder detected

This means that you are missing HW acceleration, AKA your GPU is not being picked up by Wolf and that will cause issues later on when trying to start our virtual displays. From the commands that you have posted above you are clearly missing the Nvidia specific Docker flags that are needed in order to activate HW acceleration

Screenshot 2024-09-28 at 09 48 58

If you have the Docker Container Toolkit installed and it's at version >= 1.16.0 (please see the docs on how to check this) you'll have to add at the very least:

    -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all \
    -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \
    --gpus=all \

Then you added two env variables because you saw it somewhere else

-e PUID=1000
-e PGID=1000

This can only work if the user 1000 can access the Docker socket, if you run docker using sudo (which is the default installation) you should remove those.

If you still run into troubles after all this (very likely given other reports on Discord for WSL2) feel free to post your full logs under this issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow/issues/13

You are running Wolf under WSL2 and as the docs clearly points out, this is experimental and not properly tested. <img width="770" alt="Screenshot 2024-09-28 at 09 45 59" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3a2e8b17-c874-4399-9b18-9d62fdfed05f"> With that said, you also have a few issues just by looking at your logs: ``` WARN | Software H264 encoder detected WARN | Software HEVC encoder detected ``` This means that you are missing HW acceleration, AKA your GPU is not being picked up by Wolf and that will cause issues later on when trying to start our virtual displays. From the commands that you have posted above you are clearly missing the Nvidia specific Docker flags that are needed in order to activate HW acceleration <img width="778" alt="Screenshot 2024-09-28 at 09 48 58" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e9899497-bd69-4e81-89d0-9268c0dbdaff"> If you have the Docker Container Toolkit installed and it's at version >= `1.16.0` (please see the docs on how to check this) you'll have to add at the very least: ``` -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all \ -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \ --gpus=all \ ``` Then you added two env variables because you saw it somewhere else ``` -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 ``` This can only work if the user `1000` can access the Docker socket, if you run `docker` using `sudo` (which is the default installation) you should remove those. If you still run into troubles after all this (very likely given other reports on Discord for WSL2) feel free to post your full logs under this issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow/issues/13
