GameVault
Self-hosted platform for managing and distributing DRM-free games

GameVault is a self-hosted gaming platform for organizing and distributing legally owned DRM-free game files from your own server. It helps you and your friends browse a shared library, track activity, and download games to play locally.
Key Features
- Organize a DRM-free game library stored on your own file server
- Web-based UI for browsing your collection and managing your account
- Native Windows client application for accessing and downloading games
- User access for sharing a library with friends and family
- Library metadata and stats tracking for your collection
Use Cases
- Build a personal "Steam-like" library for DRM-free games from sources such as GOG or Humble Bundle
- Share a curated game collection with a small group (friends/family) from a private server
- Maintain an organized catalog of installers/archives for backup and re-download
Limitations and Considerations
- Designed specifically for DRM-free games; storefronts with proprietary DRM are not supported
- No game streaming; GameVault focuses on library management and file distribution
- Native clients are primarily Windows-focused; other platforms rely on the Web UI or community solutions
GameVault is a practical solution for digital ownership: you keep the files, control access, and manage your library in one place. It is best suited for homelabs and small groups who want a private, organized way to distribute DRM-free game installers.
