steam server version.

i have a windows server and everything is great. except their isnt a server version of steam. just chat and software transfers (game installs). reduces internet traffic and bills. i have 2terabytes of games.

is there a command line version of reduced gui of steam client. would be nice.

You just use the normal Steam Client installer

Remote play and remote install from local machines is already built into the standard client. I use it all the time.

i was looking for replication feature to save bandwidth. 10gbits from pc to pc. i have a large game collection. the server is unstable with the server windows os.

I still have zero clue what it is you're asking.
There is no need for anything special. If you have many PCs sharing the same games; then download the games onto a NAS and those multiple PCs can call upon the same data source. The only issue doing this however is you need to micro-manage it because you do not want multiple PCs attempting to update 1 copy of a game that's on the NAS. Use a master PC to handle that if possible. Although that's assuming the Master PC + Steam Account has all of the games in question that the other PCs are accessing.

steamcmd, it has all features on might expect on a server and non-graphical environments, that does not include a chat client. All it really does is install software.

For that you want a caching proxy.

Oh, you want Batch Installs?

the steam link app is nice for connecting to another account/pc

If you'd want a Local Server to house the Game Client for all the Local Client PCs; you would have to setup a Steam Client in a different folder for each account basically. It's the only way to allowing multiple instances of the Steam.exe to run at the same time.
