Game Streaming

5Stack can spectate live matches with OpenHud.

Requirements

• At least one game server node with a supported GPU and the relevant Kubernetes runtime installed (see GPU vendor pages below).
• A Steam account dedicated to the streamer.

GPU Support

Vendor	Status
NVIDIA	Supported
AMD	Not yet supported — tracking issue #467
Intel	Not yet supported — tracking issue #468

Steam account must NOT have 2FA / Steam Guard

The streamer logs into Steam non-interactively via steamcmd to download and run CS2. Steam Guard / Steam Mobile Authenticator will break this — every Job will get stuck waiting for a code that nobody can enter.

Use a dedicated Steam account with 2FA disabled. Do not reuse a personal account.

Install

Make sure the GPU drivers and Kubernetes runtime are set up on every node that will run the streamer — see NVIDIA for the full driver/toolkit steps.

From your panel install directory, run:

./game-streamer.sh

The script will walk you through:

1. GPU vendor selection — NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel. AMD and Intel exit early with a link to the tracking issue.
2. GPU node selection — pick which cluster nodes have GPUs (multi-select). The script labels selected nodes with nvidia-gpu=true and 5stack-game-streamer=true. Re-running the script with a different selection will add the labels to newly-selected nodes and remove them from previously-selected nodes.
3. Steam credentials — username and password for the dedicated streamer account.

Your selections are persisted to .5stack-env.config
