Make the host docs match the real distribution path and the actual CLI. Reviewed by a multi-agent pass (6 editors against one verified fact sheet + an accuracy reviewer); its findings (a wrong client-Recommends claim, a native-concurrency overstatement) folded in. - Install front door: new README "Install (host)" method-picker + docs-site/install.md (+ nav), routing each distro to its package registry; source build demoted to a fallback. - Registry-first install: ubuntu-gnome/ubuntu-kde now lead with the apt registry (not a cargo build); bazzite leads with the Gitea RPM registry (was COPR/source). Source builds moved to an appendix. - CLI accuracy: serve --native arms pairing from the web console (NOT --allow-pairing, which with --require-pairing/--max-concurrent is m3-host-only); --open disables mandatory pairing. host-cli/configuration/pairing/quickstart/troubleshooting corrected; mgmt API documented as always HTTPS+token. Native host serves one session at a time (extras queue) — not multi. - Firewall: real ports documented (native UDP 9777 + the ephemeral data port caveat + GameStream ports) for Debian + Arch (ufw + nftables), not just Bazzite. - Sync/accuracy: punktfunk-client (GTK4) presented as a shipping client (not "roadmap"), punktfunk-client-rs as the headless tool; host Recommends punktfunk-web only (not the client); COPR chroots f43/44; bootc header says Gitea registry not COPR.

title: Install the Host

description: Pick your distro and install the punktfunk host from its package registry.

The package registries are the real distribution channel. Pick your distro, add the repo, and install
|
|
with your native package manager. Each row links to the full per-distro guide (add the repo, first-run
|
|
steps, the web console) — those are the source of truth, so this page doesn't duplicate them.
|
|
|
|
## Pick your distro
|
|
|
|
| Distro | Package manager | One-command happy path | Guide |
|
|
|--------|-----------------|------------------------|-------|
|
|
| **Ubuntu / Debian** | apt | `sudo apt install punktfunk-host` | [Ubuntu — GNOME](/docs/ubuntu-gnome) · [Ubuntu — KDE](/docs/ubuntu-kde) · [packaging/debian](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/debian/README.md) |
|
|
| **Fedora / Bazzite** | rpm-ostree | `rpm-ostree install punktfunk punktfunk-web` | [Fedora — KDE](/docs/fedora-kde) · [Bazzite](/docs/bazzite) · [packaging/rpm](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/rpm/README.md) |
|
|
| **Arch / Steam Deck** | PKGBUILD / sysext | `makepkg -si` (Arch) · sysext `.raw` (SteamOS/Deck) | [packaging/arch](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/arch/README.md) |

Each registry is public — no auth, you just trust the repo's signing key. Adding the repo is a
|
|
one-time step covered in the linked guide; after that, normal `apt upgrade` / `rpm-ostree upgrade`
|
|
tracks new builds automatically.
|
|
|
|
## What the packages are
|
|
|
|
- **`punktfunk-host`** — the streaming host. Install this on your Linux + NVIDIA gaming machine.
|
|
- **`punktfunk-web`** — the browser management console (pairing + status). Recommended alongside the
|
|
host; on RPM list it explicitly (`rpm-ostree install punktfunk punktfunk-web`).
|
|
- **`punktfunk-client`** — the GTK4 desktop client, for streaming *to* a Linux box (also shipped via
|
|
apt / RPM / Arch / Flatpak). On a Steam Deck, this is the package you want.
|
|
|
|
## After installing
|
|
|
|
1. Add yourself to the `input` group (virtual gamepads need `/dev/uinput`), then re-login. The exact
|
|
command differs per distro — see your guide (`usermod -aG input "$USER"`, or `ujust
|
|
add-user-to-input-group` on Bazzite).
|
|
2. Start the host inside your desktop session:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
punktfunk-host serve --native
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Enable the web console and read its login password, then open `http://<host-ip>:3000`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-web
|
|
journalctl --user -u punktfunk-web-init | sed -n 's/.*password generated: //p'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From there, follow the [Quick Start](/docs/quickstart) to pair your first client. To run the host
|
|
automatically at boot, see [Running as a Service](/docs/running-as-a-service).

|
## Building from source
|
|
|
|
If no package exists for your platform, you can build from source — see the repository README. Source
|
|
builds are a fallback; the registries are the supported path.
