Sunshine + Dummy Xorg + LXDE + Cloudflared Setup Script

This script automates the setup of a Sunshine stream server with a virtual display and secure remote access via Cloudflare Tunnel, ideal for headless Linux systems without GPU or physical display hardware.

---

Features

• Installs LXDE desktop + xserver-xorg-video-dummy for virtual display
• Installs Sunshine game streaming and Cloudflared for tunneling
• Sets up dummy keyboard and mouse input devices so Moonlight streaming works
• Configures UFW firewall rules for all necessary Sunshine ports
• Launches all services (Xorg, LXDE, Sunshine, Cloudflared) in background screen sessions
• Safely kills any existing conflicting processes before starting fresh
• Displays a working public Cloudflare Tunnel URL for remote access

Run these commands as root to create a new user and give them sudo access:

sudo adduser myuser

Add user to sudo group

sudo usermod -aG sudo myuser

Switch to new user

su - myuser

Usage

1. Clone or download this script into your server:

   bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeDialect/sunshine-script/main/sunshine_setup.sh)

2. After installation, the script will display a Cloudflare Tunnel URL:

   Tunnel URL: https://xyz123.trycloudflare.com
   

3. Open this URL in your browser to access the Sunshine Web UI and pair with Moonlight.

What It Installs

• lxde-core, lxsession: Lightweight desktop environment
• xserver-xorg-video-dummy: Virtual display driver
• sunshine-ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb: Sunshine streaming server
• cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb: Cloudflare Tunnel
• ufw: Firewall to secure your instance

It also installs screen, curl, wget, and utilities needed for setup and logging.

Benefits

• No physical GPU or monitor needed
• Secure remote streaming over Cloudflare without exposing ports
• Plug-and-play — just one script, no manual setup steps
• Good for VPS environments and gameserver setups where input forwarding and streaming are required

---

Troubleshooting

• If Sunshine Web UI fails to load, ensure the dummy desktop is working (lxsession should be running).

• If Cloudflared tunnel exits early, run it manually to debug:

  cloudflared tunnel --no-tls-verify --url https://localhost:47990

• If keyboard/mouse input isn't working, ensure /dev/uinput exists and input drivers are loaded (e.g. xserver-xorg-input-evdev).
