Gameyfin
Gameyfin organizes your video game collection into a searchable web library with automatic scanning, metadata fetching, downloads, sharing, and optional SSO integration.
Gameyfin is an open source, web-based application for organizing and browsing a video game collection. It scans your game folders, enriches entries with metadata and cover art, and presents everything in a fast, easy-to-navigate library you can access from any modern browser.
Key Features
- Automatically scans and indexes game libraries from configured folders
- Fetches metadata and cover images to enrich your catalog
- Web UI for browsing your collection and downloading game files
- Library sharing for friends and family
- LAN-friendly caching to keep browsing fast on local networks (videos may still be fetched remotely)
- Theme support, including colorblind-friendly options
- Plugin system for extending functionality
- Optional SSO integration via OAuth2 / OpenID Connect
Use Cases
- Create a centralized catalog for a large local ROM/game archive
- Share a curated game library with family or a small community
- Run a lightweight, browser-accessible game library for a homelab
Limitations and Considerations
- Metadata quality and matching depend on external metadata sources and file naming consistency
- Persistence is based on an embedded H2 database by default, which may be less suitable for very large deployments
Gameyfin is a good fit for users who want a Jellyfin-like experience for game collections, with a clean UI, automatic library organization, and extensibility. It can run in a container or on any JVM-capable system and is designed to be simple and fast.
