GameVault is a self-hosted gaming platform. It lets you and your friends enjoy DRM-free games stored on your file server in an organized way. Think of it as your personal Steam or Plex server, but for your personal video game collection.
GameVault is an innovative gaming platform that offers a self-hosted, source-available alternative to popular gaming services. Imagine having your own personal gaming hub, where you and your friends can enjoy DRM-free games stored on your file server, all organized seamlessly.

- Download, Install, and Play: Use the platform to download, install, and play your games hassle-free.
- Track Your Progress: GameVault even keeps tabs on your playtimes and progress.
GameVault Components:
