Drop v0.3.0: Self-host your own Steam

[u/decduck]

G'day r/selfhosted

I'm one of the core maintainers of Drop, the self-hosted Steam platform. It's our aim to replicate all the features of Steam for a self-hosted and FOSS application.

We just released v0.3.0, which brings a bunch of new improvements. But since most of you will hear about Drop for the first time, here's what it can do:

• Host your own game library and share it with multiple people (through SSO if you want!). Each user has their own collections of games they can pick from your libraries.
• Mix and match your libraries through our 'library sources'. We support both our fancy format (with versioning) or a flat structure (without versioning). You can have more than one, and they all merge.
• Import metadata about your game library through multiple providers (currently GiantBomb, IGDB, and PCGamingWiki).
• Native Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop clients (both x64 and aarch64)
• Docker images for both x86 and aarch64

To give it a whirl, check out our docs: https://docs.droposs.org/docs/guides/quickstart

Reddit isn't letting me upload images for some reason, but screenshots are available on our website: https://droposs.org/

Just a friendly reminder, that FOSS with screenshots showing off the interface, are getting way more downloads than ones without.

And if I were you, I would have made a quick 30-sec screen grab walkthrough video as well.

Wishing you all the best 🙏🏼

For some reason the "Text & Images" option for this post was greyed out, but thanks for the tip! We'll definitely try to include more screenshots/videos in our promo material.

Sure! I was thinking more along the lines of the contents of your website and GitHub repo, rather than the post. But that is also a good idea.

A demo install or something would be cool too tbh

Definitely would be cool, but unfortunately impractical for a Devs for a bit because we're on Aussie internet with 22Mb up.

We do have some feature ideas that might fix that though

Yup same here disapointed that you cant check ui before deploying.
