Selfhosted

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.

Hey everyone! I noticed that the discussions around the recently released self-hosted alternative to Steam and Origin, have been focused on its controversial name. Let's shift the conversation and talk about the features you would like to see or wouldn't care about in this software.

Essential

  • DRM Free
  • Cloud Saves
  • Compatabilty info with current system.

Nice to Have

  • Save migration, pulling save files from other game platforms for titles owned on both
  • Mod integration. Would be great to have this built in instead of having to go out to nexus
  • External links to official wiki's when applicable. The community guides are cool, but sometimes you just need that wiki.

Remote mounting of storage and being able to run games directly from the remote server would save a lot on local storage space.

Bandwidth to storage is going to become more and more important so I'm not keen on that.

It would be an optional feature.
