Running without Discord client #44

Closed nfp0 closed 7 months ago

nfp0 commented 7 months ago

Is the Discord client running side by side with steam-presence a hard requirement?

You mentioned we can run steam-presence on a server (which I intended to do with Docker), but that would mean having a GUI running with Discord.

Can you please clarify how would such a setup be viable? Are there tools that can send RPC data to Discord's servers other than the official client?

there are technically others tools, the existing ones are all built into other discord clients though, mainly arRPC, the dev of which has explicitly said is not something they're willing to help with Running without any discord client.

something you can do is installing x11 on the server, remoting into it, logging into discord, then setup a systemd service or something similar to run discord without a display. Though this would still take half a gig of ram or something similar, see this post if you want any more info on that
