What are y’all using for your offline game libraries? I ended up getting Resident Evil on GoG and started thinking about how I can host these on a NAS. Maybe something Dockerized?

Jellyfin for music and video

Immich for images

Audiobookshelf for Audiobooks

??? for Gaming?

    I’ve been keeping an eye on GameVault as it does exactly what I want from a server perspective. I’m just waiting for a Linux native client or integration the HeroicLauncher or Lutris. The devs are pretty active in this community too!

    I just download the offline installers from GOG and keep those on my NAS organized into folders per game until I want to install them. Not fancy, but it works fine for me.

      Same, but i’d still love for a way to nicely download these games across my network. Like, I have the folders in my NAS with the setup files, I just need an interface that will install them like a regular installer would.

    Went down a similar rabbit hole earlier in the week. I couldn’t find a self-hosted option that met my needs re: sleek UI and integration w/ itch.io. I settled on just downloading GameHub. Not self-hosted, but it is open-source fwiw, my games are saved in an NFS folder and saves are accessible across devices.

    I’m keeping an eye on gamevault as well, but wanted to include to Retro gaming. I also like a web interface which gamevault is not currently planning on having. Right now I am experimenting with Romm. I can create a category for gog games and download each game as a zip archive. Not fully what I want but it works. I love that for a lot of emulators you can play roms directly in the browser.

    I also saw mention of gaseous games and Gameyfin but haven’t looked at them to closely yet.

    Mainly I’ll use heroic launcher for PC fames or retro arch for playing emulators locally, but the examples you list are both web based front ends, in which case I setup emujs to share with friends.
