What products do you wish you could self-host? (alien.top)

This hasn't been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I'm hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!

What I'd like to know is:

- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method

- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state

- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?

There was something released a while back similar to what you're after. It had a funny name, I think it was crack pipe and then they changed it due to well the name of it but I can't for the life of me remember what it was

How was it call before? The url is game vault already 🤔

[–] seniorducker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They originally called it something like crackpipe as they said it was for those games you acquired "elsewhere"

Hi, GameVault developer here. Can confirm. It's exactly what you are looking for.

Could I use a MariaDB for this? Already have one setup with backups etc, would rather use that, than also setup a postgres with backups

[–] Alfagun74@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry. It only supports PostgreSQL and SQLITE atm.
