# EC2 Gaming on Linux

> This project is discontinued and no longer maintained.

Cloud Gaming powered by [Sunshine] on EC2 Spot Instances, tested with:

* EC2 g4dn instances using NVIDIA gaming driver
* EC2 g5 instances using NVIDIA gaming driver

## Features

Stable features:

* Launch templates for both Spot and On-Demand EC2 instances
* Minimalistic Ubuntu Linux with [Sunshine], [Steam] and [Lutris] preinstalled
* VPC with public subnet and security groups to restrict access by IP
* S3 bucket for fast backup/restore of the Steam Library to/from instance storage using [restic]

## Prerequisites

Setup Python and install project dependencies:

python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt

## How-to set up

Deploying the CloudFormation stack the first time requires a keypair (in this case `ec2-gaming`) to exist:

sam deploy --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine --parameter-overrides KeyPair=ec2-gaming

When updating CloudFormation stack, passing parameters is not required and existing settings remain untouched:

sam deploy --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

Launch spot instance:

aws ec2 run-instances --launch-template LaunchTemplateName=ec2-gaming-sunshine-noble-spot,Version=\$Latest

Launch on-demand instance:

aws ec2 run-instances --launch-template LaunchTemplateName=ec2-gaming-sunshine-noble-on-demand,Version=\$Latest

Launch on-demand instance with custom instance type:

aws ec2 run-instances --launch-template LaunchTemplateName=ec2-gaming-sunshine-noble-on-demand,Version=\$Latest \
        --instance-type g5.4xlarge

By default, access to the EC2 instance is restriced. To update the whitelisted IP address to the IP address of the
caller:

./update-ip.py --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

## How-to destroy

To delete the entire CloudFormation stack:

sam delete --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

## Manual steps on first boot

### Install NVIDIA driver

./connect-ssh.py --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

# or: manually connect
    ssh ubuntu@<IP>

Wait for [cloud-init] to finish:

tail -f /var/log/cloud-init.log

Install NVIDIA gaming driver and reboot:

sudo /opt/install_nvidia_driver.sh

sudo reboot

### Set up Sunshine

./connect-ssh.py --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

Configure username and password for sunshine API user:

https --verify=no :47990/api/password newUsername="sunshine" newPassword="sunshine" confirmNewPassword="sunshine"

Adjust pre-defined applications to match the client's screen resolution:

# Desktop
    https --verify=no -a sunshine:sunshine :47990/api/apps name="Desktop" \
        prep-cmd:='[{"do":"bash -c \"xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode \\\"${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_WIDTH}x${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_HEIGHT}\\\" --rate 60\"","undo":""},{"do":"loginctl unlock-session","undo":""}]' \
        output="" cmd:=[] index:=0 detached:=[] image-path="desktop-alt.png"

Optional: add applications for different screen resolutions:

# 1280x720
    https --verify=no -a sunshine:sunshine :47990/api/apps name="1280x720" \
        prep-cmd:='[{"do":"xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1280x720","undo":""}]' \
        output="" cmd:=[] index=-1 detached:=[] image-path="desktop-alt.png"

# 1280x800
    https --verify=no -a sunshine:sunshine :47990/api/apps name="1280x800" \
        prep-cmd:='[{"do":"xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1280x800","undo":""}]' \
        output="" cmd:=[] index=-1 detached:=[] image-path="desktop-alt.png"

# 1920x1080
    https --verify=no -a sunshine:sunshine :47990/api/apps name="1920x1080" \
        prep-cmd:='[{"do":"xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1920x1080","undo":""}]' \
        output="" cmd:=[] index=-1 detached:=[] image-path="desktop-alt.png"

Set a password for `sunshine` Linux user:

sudo passwd sunshine

## Connect Moonlight client automatically (macOS and Linux clients only)

Connect and pair [Moonlight] automatically:

./connect-moonlight.py --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

## Connect Moonlight client manually

./connect-ssh.py --stack-name ec2-gaming-sunshine

Determine the public IPv4 address and connect via the [Moonlight] client:

cloud-init query ds.meta_data.public_ipv4

Allow connection by entering the PIN:

https --verify=no -a sunshine:sunshine :47990/api/pin pin="0000"

## Launch Steam

Launch Steam, Login for the first time and:

* Move the Steam Library to `/mnt/sunshine/SteamLibrary` (Setting/Downloads/Steam Library Folder)
* Enable Steam Play (Proton) for supported and all other titles (Setting/Steam Play)
* Run Backup (via application icon or `/usr/local/bin/backup` before next shutdown/reboot)
