Made an app that makes hosting a game server from home easy for everyone. DeployCat!
A friend and I were always the people our friend group went to when they wanted a dedicated server for a Minecraft or whatever random steam game came out. We always commented to each other that we wished something came out that not only had the tools an advanced user would find convenient , but easy enough for anyone to use. (this was the key issue most people we knew had) We worked on this for the past few years and here it is.
DeployCat.
You can use DeployCat on windows, mac, unraid/docker and even a linux OS for any spare hardware you have laying around.
You can find it at www.deploycat.app . There is even a simulator on the site to take a look at how the app functions. The goal is to try and make it easy for anyone to host, backup, name, change your settings, restore your server and understand from point A to Z for everyone.
We would love for you to take a look at it and let us know what you think! If you have ever wanted to host a game server but have ever been intimidated by it, or just frustrated with some other self hosting apps; please look and give us a try.
