Sunshine: Can't find my opensuse host pc in network

English Applications
1

Hello!
I’m running TW with a X5700 XT gpu with Mesa drivers and a Ryzen 5 5600X on a X470 Aorus board with KDE Plasma.

I want to use my PC as a host for sunshine and stream games to my tablet and phone.
I got the installation part done afaik. The program launches and I can access the webui from my host pc.
On all my tested moonshine devices I wasn’t able to connect to my host pc via it’s ip, nor was it shown in the network scan. I’m not sure if it’s really a firewall issue, as I have tried to give the exceptions I found in a thread online to no avail. I also tried multiple different installation methods from appimage to flatpack to a build service repo, which supposedly included a firewall exception and was last updated 23 days ago.
Any help or guide would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Cren

edit:
I can run Steam with Steam link from my host pc, but I’d love to use a foss alternative, especially because I bought the games I want to play currently on gog.
So it seems like it’s not “a general problem” with game streams.

What prevents you from checking? Stop firewall and test.

I’ll be honest… I switched to Linux only a few months ago and I don’t know exactly how and more importantly how to enable it again correctly. I don’t want to do a hack job and break something important.

systemctl stop firewalld.service

It does not do any permanent changes.

yeah I googled it for services. Turns out it is the firewall. I was able to find and pair my device. I did a quick connect and both my displays were boradcast to my phone.
Thanks so far!
(I would really love a CLI for the firewall exceptions. also I guess since it’s systemctl its just

systemctl start firewalld.service

since it didn’t change the start on boot part?)

edit: the standard ports:

I’ve read that I should enter the ranges individually instead of as a range. Don’t know if it was for opensuse or just in general advice…

man firewall-cmd

Yes. Please, use preformatted text, not quotes, to post computer related output.

When you post something it would be helpful if you explained what it is and why you posted it.

sorry had it in quotes not preformatted text.

I added a quick and dirty pic of the ports in the webUI. I did check up on the firewalld and firewall-cmd command.

I thought I did this according to a post some time ago, but I think the changes weren’t permanent and/or I didn’t restart the firewall.

Thanks for helping me out!

You can make run time changes permanent using

firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

Along with the man pages there is good online documentation…
