is steam remote play an option?
Oh I'm not sure I've never looked into what that is
Moonlight is also a possible option. Heard good things
Switched to sunshine+moonlight from steam remote play. Works much better, especially on low end clients. And as a bonus you have full access, not just for steam.
Nice, never heard about Sunshine! How does that work? I have a Debian server with ok specs running for *Arr services, but no games on it. Is it just a middle man I can run on my server or do I need to have games installed on the server too?
It's basically a self-hosted stream that moonlight connects to within your network. https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases You still need any and all software that'll actually be running on the server, but you can use sunshine either for streaming particular applications from it or just as a general all purpose remote access tool. So it's like Parsec, only FOSS and imo works better too.
I use my server with the steam headless docker and that way I always have games available to stream to my phone. It's nice that it's a docker container because then the gpu can be shared between that and plex. You can then install sunshine on the docker and moonlight on your phone or a laptop
Oh my god, I haven't even thought of running steam headless in Docker! My current media setup is just a shit loads of Dockers anyways
Yup this is the one

I run unraid so I just got it from the community apps and let it access the same gpu I use for plex
I think it depends on your gpu, I plugged in one of those dummy hdmi things from Amazon to keep my nvidia gpu happy
