Assassin's Creed is free of DRM?
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.

Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

No trolling.

Questions? DM the mods!
Kind of surprised although at least now looks like only 1st one is available
No of course not 😂
I needed some games to show the UI properly so I created some empty zip-file mocks of popular games like "Assassin's Creed 2.zip".
GameVault doesn't care what's inside.
Slightly weird choice to post that in official project site when FAQ mentions piracy is not endorsed :)
Any ideas about linux/wine support?
It only stores files, so there's no need for wine support, as far as I understand.
Edit: looks like I was wrong, their client seems somewhat capable.
Why is everything on Discord? Now even some mods are exclusively on this closed platform.
Personally I just use a web directory for my roms Company/Console/Game and search with ctrl and F. I can download it from a browser or wget in the terminal.
For artwork I have the steam ROM manager on deck or the emulator on desktop usually does it eg ppsspp
What do I use this for? Do I install it on my NAS or my gaming pc?
My best guess is this is a self hosted network storage for games and other computers run the games from there? Or do they download the game from there? Is it a way to store game saves? Does it have any use for emulators like yuzu?
Sorry for all the questions, I’m only asking because the software looks really interesting but I just can’t figure out its uses.
Seems like the intro clears some things: https://gamevau.lt/docs/intro It looks like you install the server component on your NAS/server etc and store your game files/binaries/installers there. Then you can download client applications and download from that location to install on your gaming PC or whatever
So basically Plex/jellyfin for non drm games it sounds like.
In case you're wondering what GameVault is, it's like having your own video gaming platform for games on your server – think Plex, but for video games
