A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Do you have games on your server and need an application to download, install, share, launch and track them?

Then you have come to the right place!

The website also links to their Lemmy community!

Seems it only handles "archived" games. So they need to be archived in a single .zip/rar/gzip/tar file.

Would it be able to handle .ISO files?

Answer: Yes. Found it in their documentation.

No Linux client? I guess I understand, not enough DRM free Linux games, but still... Not for me.

The docs recommend to run it via WINE.

This is great! I had wondered, with my GoG games, as they provide offline installers for the games, what would be the best way to manage and distribute them for myself and this really hits the spot! Very glad to be able to folly self-manage my games in this way. Thanks!

I was a bit cautious because of the "source-available" code. But it's just a standard CC-BY-NC-SA. So no problems there.

Use case:

I want to set it up in my home so husband and 2 kids can access and share within GOG TOS.

Is there a feature to automatically download installers and patch files from GOG to the server?

Seems like a good feature to have to maintain an offline library.

just gonna be 100% upfront, i would only use this if it could index my downloads folder of pirated games that are folders with setup.exe inside

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

All I want is to host this on my server and have it download the latest offline installer of my GoG games automatically.

I tried this a while back, and it couldn't correctly identify anything. Presumably this will improve once they get IGDB implementation done.

Yeah because apparently it is too hard to double click on setup.exe but using a docker is okay.
