ci(rpm): publish punktfunk-host RPM to the Gitea registry (Bazzite)
Mirrors the apt pipeline for Fedora Atomic / Bazzite. New `rpm` workflow builds
the host RPM in a Fedora 43 builder image (ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile — matches
Bazzite's libavcodec.so.61, with a self-contained 16-symbol libcuda link stub so
no NVIDIA packages are needed in CI) and uploads to Gitea's public RPM registry
(group "bazzite") on every main push (rolling 0.0.1-0.ciN.<sha>) and v* tag
(clean X.Y.Z-1). Bazzite hosts then track it with `rpm-ostree upgrade`.

- packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh: git-archive tarball + rpmbuild (--nodeps, since the
  toolchain is rustup + dnf, not RPMs); copies to dist/, asserts no cuda/nvidia leak.
- punktfunk.spec: overridable pf_version/pf_release for CI snapshots; exclude
  libcuda.so from auto-Requires (NVENC/EGL come from the driver, out of band) —
  same NVIDIA filter as the .deb; fix a bogus changelog weekday.
- docker.yml builds+pushes the new fedora-rpm image; packaging README + rpm/README
  document the rpm-ostree install/update path (recommended option).

Builder image seeded to the registry so rpm.yml's first run finds it. RPM build +
clean-Requires verified locally in the image (libavcodec.so.61 / libavutil.so.59,
no cuda).

Packaging punktfunk for Fedora / Bazzite

The punktfunk host is Linux-only and links system FFmpeg (NVENC), PipeWire, Opus and the NVIDIA driver. This directory packages it for the Fedora Atomic / Bazzite world (rpm-ostree + bootc), where most of those deps are already present.

👉 Ubuntu/Debian hosts install via apt from Gitea's package registry — see debian/README.md (apt update && apt upgrade for new builds).

👉 End-to-end Bazzite setup walkthrough (install → udev/group → host.env → service → firewall → verify → troubleshooting): bazzite/README.md. This file is the higher-level packaging rationale.

packaging/
  rpm/punktfunk.spec      # the RPM (builds punktfunk-host from source with cargo)
  bazzite/host.env        # gamescope-default config for a Bazzite appliance
  bazzite/README.md       # step-by-step Bazzite setup guide
  bootc/Containerfile     # bake punktfunk into a Bazzite-based atomic image
  copr/                   # COPR build-from-SCM settings

What's needed beyond base Fedora

Dependency Where it comes from
ffmpeg-libs with NVENC RPM Fusion nonfree (ffmpeg, not ffmpeg-free)
NVIDIA driver (libnvidia-encode, libEGL_nvidia) Bazzite -nvidia images ship it; plain Fedora: akmod-nvidia + xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
gamescope, PipeWire, wireplumber Bazzite ships these; plain Fedora: dnf install gamescope pipewire wireplumber
opus, libei Fedora base / updates

On Bazzite the only genuinely new runtime bits are ffmpeg-libs (RPM Fusion) + opus + libei — the rest of the stack is already there. The default backend is gamescope (packaging/bazzite/host.env), which the host spawns headless per session — no desktop login.

The host's RPM is published to unom's self-hosted Gitea RPM registry (CI builds it on every push), mirroring the Debian/apt setup. Add one repo file, install, and track updates with rpm-ostree upgrade — no COPR account needed. Full guide: rpm/README.md.

curl -fsSL https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/bazzite.repo \
  | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk.repo
rpm-ostree install punktfunk && systemctl reboot
# updates:  rpm-ostree upgrade && systemctl reboot

Option B — COPR (per-host, rpm-ostree install)

  1. Create a COPR project, enable build-from-SCM pointing at this repo, spec path packaging/rpm/punktfunk.spec (see copr/README.md). Under External Repositories add RPM Fusion nonfree so ffmpeg-devel resolves at build time.
  2. On the Bazzite host:
    # RPM Fusion (for the NVENC ffmpeg) — usually already enabled on Bazzite
    rpm-ostree install \
      https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm \
      https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
    # enable the COPR + install punktfunk
    sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/_copr_punktfunk.repo \
      https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/enricobuehler/punktfunk/repo/fedora-$(rpm -E %fedora)/
    rpm-ostree install punktfunk
    systemctl reboot
    

Option B — bootc (image-based, atomic)

Layer punktfunk into a Bazzite image once, then rebase any number of hosts onto it — no per-host drift. See bootc/Containerfile:

podman build -t ghcr.io/<you>/bazzite-punktfunk -f packaging/bootc/Containerfile .
podman push  ghcr.io/<you>/bazzite-punktfunk
# on the target:
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/<you>/bazzite-punktfunk && systemctl reboot

First-run setup (either option)

ujust add-user-to-input-group           # virtual gamepads need /dev/uinput (then re-login).
                                        # On Bazzite use ujust, NOT `usermod -aG input` (atomic OS — it won't stick).
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk/host.env.bazzite ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env   # edit (gamescope app, etc.)
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host

Pair a stock Moonlight client (mDNS-discovered), or connect the native punktfunk/1 client.

Why not Flatpak?

The host needs unsandboxed access the zero-copy NVENC path, /dev/uinput, the PipeWire graph and the compositor's privileged protocols — a Flatpak sandbox fights all of these. An RPM (or the bootc layer) installs into the host system where those just work.

Building the SRPM/RPM locally (Fedora only)

git archive --format=tar.gz --prefix=punktfunk-0.0.1/ -o ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/punktfunk-0.0.1.tar.gz HEAD
rpmbuild -ba packaging/rpm/punktfunk.spec     # needs the BuildRequires from the spec

(Not buildable on Debian/Ubuntu — use a Fedora toolbox/container or COPR.)
