Sure we do, but it depends on which distro and distro version.

latest: https://hub.docker.com/r/lizardbyte/sunshine/tags?name=latest-
master: https://hub.docker.com/r/lizardbyte/sunshine/tags?name=master-

Edit: if you're specifically referring to v0.23.1 (for example), yea we don't have a tag that points to that... and at this point I don't really have a good way to do that since a beta/stable are technically created the same exact way. The only difference is the GitHub pre-release is edited to become a stable release.

Also converted this to a feature request.

How does the distro of the host machine affect the Docker container to the point that there are different Docker images depending on the host OS?

EDIT: To be transparent, I'm trying to build a Docker template to easy-install Sunshine on Unraid, which is based on Slackware, so I'm not entirely sure which image variant would work best.

[ReenigneArcher]

I don't believe the host machine distro should affect the one selected for Sunshine necessarily. It's just a matter of preference with what software you want to install along side Sunshine and what desktop you'd want to use when streaming Sunshine.

It might not be clear but these images are not meant to stream the host's desktop or anything like that, but intended to be more like a virtual machine. Although if the hosts were the same, I guess you could volume map the sunshine binary... I don't think that would work for Unraid if that's your intent.

These might also be of interest to you:

• https://github.com/Steam-Headless/docker-steam-headless (uses Sunshine)
• https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-steamos (uses Sunshine)
• https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf (alternative to Sunshine)

Regarding the request for stable tags, I suppose it could be possible depending on if it's possible to edit existing published images/tags.

These are some of the workflows we use to change states when we convert a beta/pre-release to stable.

• ReadTheDocs: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-docs.yml
• Flathub sync: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-flathub-repo.yml
• Homebrew: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-homebrew-release.yml
• Pacman repo: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-pacman-repo.yml
• Winget: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-winget-release.yml

Perhaps something similar could work for Docker, although I think it would be a bit more complicated. We should probably also cleanup old beta tags (we only keep the latest 2 in GitHub)
