If you host the instance just for your own account to be under your control there's hardly any overhead. I'm running it in docker in a debian 12 VM with 1 GB ram, 1 virtual CPU and 50GB virtual disk. Haven't had any issues.

A bad CEO/Company owner trickles down to everything under them in the company. They pass major decisions or budgets (or lack thereof) that work their way down to everything if not immediately then over time. Toilets not getting cleaned probably comes down to people either not getting paid or being fired to avoid having to pay them, resulting in either no custodial staff or insufficient staff. There's no way to defend him about this.
This is a good way to get a lot of people to never pay for a video game ever again, after Steam did a pretty good job convincing people not to pirate.
I'll just hope it accepts an environment variable for user/group ID because on my server 1000 is not the appropriate user to have permissions to these files. Will find out next time I give it a try.
I was hoping it would be fixing my having to manually add games to steam after manually copying the files over to a PC and have a nice catalogue for them. But it just seems like it generates more work than it saves.
I really liked the concept of this and had high expectation, but I just tried this out following their documentation and not a fan so I'll have to pass / find a better alternative if one exists.
The docker-compose.yml given seems to cause the containers to be lacking permissions to save images and even the DB: logs show images can't be created/saved, restarting the container wipes the DB. No files created at all on the mounted volumes paths. The volume for game files works great though so that's confusing. I can probably troubleshoot that but this is the first container I've ever had such an issue with so I won't bother particularly due to the next points:
On the app itself I was pretty disappointed that it doesn't at the very least extract the files for you, and won't even skip all the manual junk for direct play games that I took the time to name properly with (DP) on the archive files. The reason given is there may be too many manual steps/variations for installation but direct plays don't need any of that.
Given the manual steps required I'll stick to copy/pasting the files off my server to my local games folder, the games themselves being added to steam if I really need to go that far with them.
That's one way to kill the WWW.
Those features make sense for people who mostly use mobile, however the price increases make it a lot less appealing even then. At some point people will realize they are paying more to play a video in the background or without ads than for netflix/disney or whatever people like these days.
I've yet to be made aware of any benefits at all. None of what you get from premium is either interesting or relevant.
Sometimes I pirate something that is so terrible that I still feel I'm owed compensation for the time I wasted watching it and the bandwidth I used to download it.
undefined> It included a helpful family tree leaflet.
You'd think in some instances the family tree would look more like a wreath though.
I went with docker but back then their documentation for it was trash and hardly worked. Had to trial and error it until it was functional. Hopefully they fixed that by now.
