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.

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-client-rs 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 --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):
| 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.
