Steam game downloader for NAS/home server

[Birkan]

Hi,

Is there any program that I can use to download steam games directly to my NAS or linux based home server without turning on my gaming rig?

Use SteamCMD to script the downloads.

You may also find it's easier to set up a local caching server that your gaming rig can automatically 'download' from when the need arises.

thanks for answer. I checked both suggestions but none of them solves my problem.

StemCMD isnt complate automatic. I need to add download command for each game manually. What i want is that CLI checks my game list and downloads necessary updates for all games and platforms. Also as i have to copy downloaded content manually

SteamCache is suits better. Yet its only caches while i update or download my game from my rig which is bad because i dont want to use it at all.

Complate solution is to mix em all. Yet SteamCMD need more flexibity such as listing my current installed games for all platforms, login via some kind of API key and be able to get commands from SteamApp on the LAN computers ect.

Did you perhaps found any solution about this topic?

I would like take advantage of my home NAS to keep my library always updated 🤔
