The record

Purpose: Wolf is an open-source streaming server for Moonlight that lets multiple remote clients share one server to play games.
Virtual desktops: Wolf can create virtual desktops on demand at different resolutions and frame rates without a monitor or dummy plug.
Streaming: Wolf aims to provide low-latency video and audio streaming with gamepad support.
Multi-GPU: Wolf can use multiple GPUs for different jobs, such as encoding on an integrated GPU while gaming on another GPU.
Deployment: Wolf runs as a container and starts additional containers on demand; the quickstart documents Docker and Podman setups.
Wolf UI: Wolf UI lets users select profiles, browse and launch applications, download application images, and create lobbies for shared sessions.
Configuration: Wolf uses a TOML configuration file and optional environment variables, and supports profiles with separate application lists.
Security: After pairing, Wolf checks HTTPS requests for a valid client certificate and allows only successfully paired clients to call the APIs.
API: Wolf exposes a REST API through a Unix socket; its documentation warns that exposing it over TCP is dangerous because it can pair clients and execute commands.
Host requirements: The documented setup requires Linux device access including /dev/uinput and /dev/uhid for virtual gamepads and DualSense emulation.
Notable limitation: The configuration documentation says multi-GPU load balancing is planned for future releases.
Support: The project homepage points users to the Moonlight Discord channel for community help.
