GameVault Update - What's happened 4 months after initial release (lemmy.world)

Hey fellow self-hosters!

It's u/Alfagun74 from GameVault, the self-hosted platform for organizing and sharing your servers DRM-free games collection. We've come a long way since our initial release, and I'm thrilled to share what's been happening with GameVault since then.

From "Crackpipe" to GameVault

If you've been with us since the start, you might remember our initial quirky name, "Crackpipe." Well, we had a good laugh, but as we grew, we decided to go for something more fitting – GameVault! It's your personal gaming treasure trove, and the name says it all.

What's GameVault?

For the uninitiated, GameVault is like having your own Steam for game files lying on your server. It's a self-hosted, source-available gaming platform. Bring your DRM-free game files, and GameVault organizes them, enriches them with metadata, and gives you a user-friendly interface to manage and play your games. It's all about enjoying your favorite titles with friends.

What's happened since initial release?

Since our initial release four months ago, we've been hard at work, reaching version 9 on the backend and 1.7 on the frontend.

Here's a reel of the exciting big features we've added:

  1. Auto Extraction and Installation of Videogames
  2. Uninstalling Games through GameVault
  3. Uploading Images directly to your GameVault
  4. Support for a metric ton of archive formats
  5. Crash Reports
  6. Database Backups & Restorations
  7. Bandwidth Control
  8. Random Game Finder

What's on the Horizon?

We've been listening to your feedback, and here's what was asked for the most:

  1. UI Redesign for the Library and Installations Tab
  2. Support for ROMS and Emulators
  3. Support for extra files like Soundtracks etc.

Right now we're knee-deep in redesigning the Library, the heart of our application. Big changes are on the way, waving goodbye to the installations tab and bringing in a sleeker UI for Library, Game View, and Game Settings. More on and a sneak-peek is coming to our blog soon.
