That sounds awesome. Yeah, the only other project I’ve had my eyes on that is like this is Cartridge. It’s in development but doesn’t have an official release yet.

What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe?
I would really love a way to manage my game library neatly and simply. No need for remote play; just game management. This project was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for but looks to have been abandoned.

LAN Party game caching made easy
A LAN party setup might still prefer this lancache setup for better experience depending on your network setup. This user talks about clients preferring Steam's functionality on a slower Steam client to a faster server with a bigger pipe: https://github.com/lancachenet/monolithic/issues/85#issuecom...
A smarter implementation could handle it better. But probably not an issue for the majority who aren't at lan parties and are at home. I also find my own Steam client will only connect to 1 host, and not attempt any others before falling back to downloading from Steam.

Run this docker container on your NAS and never worry about it again. https://hub.docker.com/r/lancachenet/monolithic It will make a copy of every game you download on either system. Then when the other machine asks for file it will serve them locally from your NAS.
