Follows the security audit (#5/#9): the GameStream-compat plane carries inherent on-path weaknesses that can't be fixed on the wire without breaking stock Moonlight — its pairing runs over plain HTTP (#9, MITM-able during the pairing window) and its legacy control encryption can reuse GCM nonces (#5, a passive eavesdropper can recover/forge input). The native punktfunk/1 plane (SPAKE2 PIN pairing + per-direction AEAD nonces) has neither. So flip the default to secure-by-default: - `serve` → native punktfunk/1 plane + management API ONLY (no GameStream surface). - `serve --gamestream` → ALSO the GameStream/Moonlight-compat planes (nvhttp pairing, RTSP, ENet control, _nvstream mDNS). Opt-in, logged with a trusted-LAN caveat. `--moonlight` is an alias. - The native plane is now ALWAYS on in `serve` (`--native` is a kept-for-compat no-op); the unified GameStream+native host is `serve --gamestream`. `gamestream::serve` gates the GameStream spawns (nvhttp/rtsp/control/mdns) on the flag; the native plane + mgmt + native-pairing handle always run. To avoid silently regressing validated Moonlight deployments, the explicit deployment configs PRESERVE Moonlight via `--gamestream` (each documents dropping it for a secure native-only host): the Linux systemd unit, the Steam Deck installer, and the Windows service default (DEFAULT_HOST_CMD). The bare `serve` default (new/manual use) is secure. Docs swept to match (host-cli, moonlight, quickstart, install, packaging READMEs, CLAUDE.md, README, …): Moonlight setup now instructs `--gamestream`; native/console refs use bare `serve`. OpenAPI regenerated (a stale "run `serve --native`" string). fmt + clippy clean; 94 host tests green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

title: Host CLI
|
|
description: The punktfunk-host commands and the flags you'll actually use.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The host is one binary, `punktfunk-host`. Most of the time you'll run a single command; the rest reads
|
|
its settings from [`host.env`](/docs/configuration).
|
|
|
|
## `serve`
|
|
|
|
The normal way to run a host. By default `serve` starts the **secure native host**: the native
|
|
`punktfunk/1` server (QUIC, SPAKE2 PIN pairing, per-direction AEAD) plus the management API/web
|
|
console — all in one process. The native plane is **always on**; there is no flag to turn it off.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
punktfunk-host serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add `--gamestream` (alias `--moonlight`) to **also** run the GameStream/Moonlight-compatible planes
|
|
(nvhttp pairing, RTSP, ENet control, `_nvstream` mDNS) — required for stock [Moonlight](/docs/moonlight)
|
|
clients. This is **opt-in** because GameStream carries inherent on-path weaknesses (pairing over plain
|
|
HTTP; its legacy control encryption can reuse GCM nonces — security-review #5/#9), so enable it **only
|
|
on a trusted LAN**. The native plane is immune to those issues.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
punktfunk-host serve --gamestream
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `--gamestream` / `--moonlight` | Also run the GameStream/Moonlight-compat planes (for stock Moonlight clients). Opt-in, trusted-LAN only — see above. |
|
|
| `--native` | No-op. The native `punktfunk/1` server always runs in `serve`; kept only for backward compatibility. |
|
|
| `--native-port <PORT>` | Native QUIC port (default `9777`). |
|
|
| `--open` | Don't require pairing — serve any device on the network. Off by default; only for trusted single-user setups. |
|
|
| `--mgmt-bind <IP:PORT>` | Management API address (default loopback `127.0.0.1:47990`). |
|
|
| `--mgmt-token <TOKEN>` | Override the bearer token for the management API. |
|
|
|
|
These are the only flags `serve` accepts.
|
|
|
|
The management API is **always HTTPS with bearer-token auth**. If you don't pass `--mgmt-token`, a token
|
|
is auto-generated and persisted to `~/.config/punktfunk/mgmt-token`; `--mgmt-token` only overrides it. A
|
|
token is **required** when you bind the API off loopback with `--mgmt-bind`.
|
|
|
|
By default the host **requires pairing** — see [Pairing & Trust](/docs/pairing). On `serve` you
|
|
**arm pairing from the web console** (or mgmt API); the host then displays a 4-digit PIN. Pass `--open` to
|
|
turn off the mandatory-pairing default and serve any device on the network (trusted single-user setups
|
|
only). The pairing flags below are `punktfunk1-host`-only and do **not** apply to `serve`.
|
|
|
|
## `punktfunk1-host`
|
|
|
|
A standalone native-only host, mainly for testing the `punktfunk/1` path without the GameStream server
|
|
or web console.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
punktfunk-host punktfunk1-host --source virtual
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `--port <N>` | QUIC listen port (default `9777`). |
|
|
| `--source synthetic` · `virtual` | `virtual` uses a real virtual display + NVENC; `synthetic` emits test frames. |
|
|
| `--seconds <N>` / `--frames <N>` | Bound each session by wall-clock seconds or frame count. |
|
|
| `--max-concurrent <N>` | Stream at most N sessions at once (default 4); overflow waits in the queue. |
|
|
| `--max-sessions <N>` | Exit after N sessions (0 = serve forever). |
|
|
| `--allow-pairing` | Accept PIN pairing; the host prints a PIN when a client pairs. |
|
|
| `--require-pairing` | Only serve paired devices (implies `--allow-pairing`). |
|
|
|
|
`--max-concurrent`, `--allow-pairing`, and `--require-pairing` are **`punktfunk1-host`-only** — `serve` does not
|
|
accept them. On `serve` you arm pairing from the web console instead, and concurrency is not
|
|
yet capped from the command line.
|
|
|
|
Both `serve` and `punktfunk1-host` advertise the host on the network so clients can discover it. List
|
|
hosts from another machine with `punktfunk-probe --discover`.
|
|
|
|
## Environment
|
|
|
|
Most behaviour (compositor, video source, input backend, zero-copy) is set in
|
|
[`host.env`](/docs/configuration), not on the command line. When running as a
|
|
[service](/docs/running-as-a-service), the unit loads `host.env` for you.
