What do you use for self hosting a streaming service like Geforce Now?

As the title suggests, I'm interested since I've got the hardware, I'd like to have my own on the go streaming nest. Any self hosting suggestions? Anydesk, Rustdesk are not viable at all.

My setup goes like this.

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine - for the streamer on pc

https://moonlight-stream.org/ - for your client apps

https://github.com/hansschmucker/NVStreamer1080 - I have a Dummy HDMI plug that goes up to 4k60fps for streaming to my TV, this allows me to switch to it instead of my monitor when streaming.

https://tailscale.com/ - For remote access. the free plan will work well enough.

This combo works very well for what I need.

What does dummy HDMI plug mean?

It is a display emulator that plugs into your GPU, that makes it think it is a monitor. They can be used for anything that doesn't need a display, or in my case to turn off my actual display when I stream

Just to add to this, there are also a lot of them that programmable, so as long as they’re pinned out to the correct HDMI standard, you can add arbitrary custom resolutions using something like CRU or an edid writer.
