Yeah I tried ChimeraOS first before your docker image and it was just a mess, nevermind that ChimeraOS doesn't install a desktop which is kind of necessary to use stuff like Lutris easily. Hopefully SteamOS3 will be at least managable to port to a new container once it's released. I would assume it's just KDE + a steamos session with gamescope/steam compositor but we'll see I guess.

So what I ended up doing was just reinstalling Steam-Headless entirely and everything now works. My mistake was, as you had suggested to someone else earlier, that I installed steam-headless before installing uinput. To save you some headaches Josh I would reccomend you make it clear in big bold letters at the top that all users should install uinput before installing steam-headless. I would think that doing so will save you and users some headaches as im sure most people will be using controllers. While I read your stuff regarding uinput, in my naevity I didn't think it was necessary for remote play controllers to work. I suspect most users will want to play using controllers so insisting on users installing uinput FIRST will likely prevent unnecessary support. also assuming once an arch-based steamos 3.0 version exists in the future, if you aren't aware of it already, I would like to suggest an additional script to install chimera, which allows you to install heroic epic games, and retroarch games directly to steam big picture mode for convenience via web on your local network. steam-headless seems like a perfect situation where chimera would be useful. dont think there's a way to install on debian but im no linux master. chimera

wasn't able to find the tux racer on steam, installed a "super tux" but the controller still didn't work. It's weird. For me, remote play with a controller works fine for big picture mode but doesn't work for most games. Interestingly however, Black Mesa was the only game workdc for me. However I think this is because the game emulates a keyboard for its "controller support". I wonder if that means that controllers work but for whatever reason they aren't assed as a controller output. some things I tried: 1. I checked "/dev/input" but only ever saw the keyboard I have plugged into my unraid server. 2. I also tried installing the steam udev rules and that didn't do anything. 3. I added the user "default" to the group "input" but neither changed anything. I don't know if the docker already does this but i did it to see if anything changed but it didn't Finally one really weird thing: Josh.5, I tried your suggestion of stopping streaming and then starting it again and discovered that my controller via remote play will work for like 1 second and then will stop working.
