Refresh the README and documentation for public visitors: - README: public-facing rewrite with accurate status for all four native clients (macOS, Linux, Windows, Android) and the Windows host. - docs site: fix stale client status (Android is a full client, not a scaffold; Windows client is stage-1 complete + signed MSIX), add the missing Android client section, correct "which client" guidance. - Windows host: corrected from "deferred/scoped" to implemented & shipping (NVIDIA-only, x64-only) across windows-host, roadmap, status, requirements, running-as-a-service, and the README. - Remove internal infrastructure from public docs (box names, private IPs, SSH/token commands, deploy topology); rewrite status.md as a public project-status page; sanitize ci.md and implementation-plan.md. - Update clients/android and clients/apple READMEs to current state.

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 --native`
|
|
|
|
The normal way to run a host. Starts the unified host: the GameStream server (for Moonlight) **and**
|
|
the native `punktfunk/1` server, plus the management API/web console — all in one process.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
punktfunk-host serve --native
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `--native` | Also run the native `punktfunk/1` server (recommended; enables the native clients and discovery). |
|
|
| `--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 --native` 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 --native` you arm pairing from the web console instead, and concurrency is not
|
|
yet capped from the command line.
|
|
|
|
Both `serve --native` 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.
