+# Manjaro Gaming Server
+
+## Setup
+
+Tested on Truenas with libvirt.
+
+1. Do not boot the instance with a virtual display
+2. Pass through usb mouse/keyboard
+3. Pass through the graphics card
+4. Walk through the installer as normal
+5. Reboot into the installation
+6. Settings -> Screen Locking -> Never
+7. Settings -> Power Management -> When power button pressed: Shut Down
+8. Settings -> Power Management -> Turn off screen: Never
+9. Settings -> Session -> Desktop Session -> On login, launch apps that were open: Start with an empty session
+10. `sudo systemctl enable --now sshd`
+
+## SSH
+
+Make sure you forward 127.0.0.1:47990. That way you can access sunshine on your local machine
+at <https://127.0.0.1:47990> for entering the pin.
+
+```conf
+Host gamebox2
+    HostName gamebox2.reeselink.com
+    User gamer
+    KeepAlive yes
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_gamebox_rsa
+    LocalForward 47990 127.0.0.1:47990
+```
+
+## Basic Apps
+
+```bash
+pacman -S vim
+flatpak install io.missioncenter.MissionCenter
+```
+
+## Install Sunshine
+
+```bash
+# Update the system
+sudo pacman -Syu
+
+# Install nvidia drivers
+sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
+
+# Install sunshine
+#The flatpak seems to work well. The arch package keeps breaking due to
+#deps. See boost-libs and then libicuuc.so.76.
+#<https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/latest/md_docs_2getting__started.html#install-system-level>
+sudo flatpak install --system flathub dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
+flatpak run --command=additional-install.sh dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
+systemctl --user enable --now sunshine
+sudo reboot
+```
+
+If you need to uninstall
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user disable --now sunshine
+sudo flatpak uninstall --system --delete-data dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
+```
+
+## Install Steam
+
+<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories#multilib>
+
+```bash
+pacman -S steam
+```
+
+1. Settings -> Autostart -> Add New -> Steam (Runtime)
+
+### mangohud
+
+Start steam with mangohud
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S mangohud lib32-mangohud
+cp /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
+```
+
+Edit ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
+
+```conf
+Exec=/usr/bin/mangohud /usr/bin/steam-native %U
+```
+
+```bash
+mkdir ~/.config/MangoHud
+cp /usr/share/doc/mangohud/MangoHud.conf.example ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
+```
+
+## Snapshot
+
+I would recommend creating a "working install" snapshot you can roll back to.
+
+```bash
+# Take a snapshot
+zfs list -d 1 enc1/vms
+export ZFS_VOL='enc1/vms/Gambox1-z4e0t'
+zfs snapshot $ZFS_VOL@manual-$(date --iso-8601)
+
+# Restore a snapshot
+zfs list -t snapshot $ZFS_VOL
+export ZFS_SNAPSHOT='enc1/vms/Gambox1-z4e0t@init-no-drivers-2025-03-03_05-35'
+zfs rollback $ZFS_SNAPSHOT
+```
