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>
punktfunk-host — Debian/Ubuntu package (apt)
punktfunk-host is published as a .deb to Gitea's Debian package registry in the public
unom org, so the Ubuntu hosts update with plain apt. CI (.gitea/workflows/deb.yml) builds
and publishes on every push to main (a rolling 0.2.0~ciN.g<sha> build) and on host-v* tags
(a clean X.Y.Z) — the rolling builds outrank the stray 0.1.1, so plain apt upgrade always
gets the latest (no version pin needed).
The same workflow also publishes punktfunk-web (the browser management console — pairing +
status) and punktfunk-client (the GTK4 couch/Deck client). punktfunk-host Recommends
punktfunk-web, so a default apt install punktfunk-host pulls the console too (alongside the
udev/sysctl bits) unless you've disabled weak deps; punktfunk-client is independent — install it
on the box you stream to. (punktfunk-probe is the headless reference/test tool, not packaged
here.)
Package layout mirrors the Fedora RPM (../rpm/punktfunk.spec): the host binary, the /dev/uinput
udev rule, the systemd user unit, headless session helpers, the example config, and the OpenAPI
doc. Runtime Depends are computed by dpkg-shlibdeps from the binary itself (built in the Ubuntu
26.04 rust-ci image, so the lib soname package names match the target). The NVIDIA driver
(libnvidia-encode / libEGL_nvidia / libcuda) is not a dependency — it's installed out of
band, like on the RPM side.
Install on a host (one-time)
The registry is public, so no apt auth is needed — just trust the repo's signing key:
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/debian/repository.key \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/punktfunk.asc >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/punktfunk.asc] https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/debian stable main" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/punktfunk.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install punktfunk-host
Then, as the desktop user:
sudo usermod -aG input "$USER" # virtual gamepads (re-login to take effect)
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk-host/host.env.example ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env # then edit
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host
# Web console — enable it and read the auto-generated login password (then open http://<host-ip>:3000):
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-web
journalctl --user -u punktfunk-web-init | sed -n 's/.*password generated: //p'
Firewall
Open the ports the host listens on. The native punktfunk/1 plane:
- QUIC control plane: UDP 9777 (
serve --native-port Nto change). - Data plane: an ephemeral UDP port — negotiated per session, so there is no fixed port to open. For a restrictive firewall you'd need to allow a UDP range (the repo does not pin one).
And the GameStream / Moonlight ports (fixed) — only needed if you run the host with
serve --gamestream (opt-in, trusted LAN only); bare serve is native-only and doesn't open these:
| Port | Proto | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 47984 | TCP | HTTPS nvhttp (paired, mutual-TLS) |
| 47989 | TCP | HTTP nvhttp (/serverinfo, /pair PIN flow) |
| 48010 | TCP | RTSP handshake |
| 47998–48010 | UDP | Video RTP (+ FEC), ENet control (47999), audio (48000) |
| 5353 | UDP | mDNS auto-discovery |
The mgmt API (TCP 47990) binds to loopback by default — leave it closed unless you move it off
loopback with --mgmt-bind IP:PORT (which then requires --mgmt-token).
With ufw:
sudo ufw allow 9777/udp # punktfunk/1 control plane
sudo ufw allow 47984/tcp && sudo ufw allow 47989/tcp && sudo ufw allow 48010/tcp
sudo ufw allow 47998:48010/udp
sudo ufw allow 5353/udp
# plus the ephemeral punktfunk/1 data port — open a UDP range you reserve for it.
With raw nftables (add to your inet filter input chain):
udp dport 9777 accept # punktfunk/1 control plane
tcp dport { 47984, 47989, 48010 } accept
udp dport { 47998-48010, 5353 } accept
# plus the ephemeral punktfunk/1 data port (a reserved UDP range).
Updates
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade # picks up the newest published build
systemctl --user restart punktfunk-host # if the unit was already running
Build a .deb locally
VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/debian/build-deb.sh # -> dist/punktfunk-host_0.0.1_amd64.deb
Needs dpkg-dev (dpkg-shlibdeps, dpkg-deb). It builds the release binary first if missing.
Build it in the rust-ci image (or on an Ubuntu 26.04 box) so the resolved Depends match the
hosts; building on a GPU box is fine — the NVIDIA driver lib is filtered out either way.
