[Feature request] Multisession

[bigtcze]

Hello, I really like Apollo. It's a huge step forward from Sunshine. Really good job. But I really miss one feature.

Current state:
I am able to run multiple apollo sessions to connect multiple clients. But Windows user has to be logged in (or no password as a workaround to start Apollo in PC start). Also it's not possible to use multiple Windows users.

Proposal:
Multisession using different users loaded in the background. So when I start PC I dont have to login. All happens in the backgroud without additional user interaction. Currently this functionality is covered by duostream, but this project is blackbox, not open source and using modified sunshine, not Apollo. So what happens when PC starts:

Windows user is automatically logged in with virtual screen
Automatically starts Apollo
Due to closed source nature of duostream, all support and bugfix is handled by owner. But Apollo is much better as an open source. Way more stable and better.

This functionality is important for sharing gaming PC with friends/family as a true gaming server.

@grester this is not the same thing.

Duo is for multiple separated sessions and it starts multiple Sunshine instances as well.

@BigT-CZE simply speaking, this is not very doable open sourced. It requires reverse engineering Windows's proprietary remote session API and patch core Windows components which is far beyond the scope of Apollo.

There're people get Aster Multi Seat working with Apollo and I think you can give that a try.

Thanks, but it seems like there is a solution from the other side. Duostream owner promised implementation of Apollo

Yeah that was spoken for months but no progress has been made so far
