fpkg-vault

https://youtu.be/5eBbjtoWfsk

Hi!

I couldn't find convenient tools to store FPKGs on NAS and install them onto PS4 directly, so I've built something myself.

fpkg-vault is a set of plugins for copyparty file server.

It requires GoldHEN Payloader running and allows you to:

- view FPKG thumbnails on file server

- view FPKG metadata on file server

- send payloads to the console

- send packages to the console using BGFT service, very similar to how DirectPackageInstaller does it

- send multiple packages in batch

- serve FPKGi-compatible lists of FPKGs to install them right from the console

You can play with it on my demo site or watch a feature showcase on youtube.

Hey, just a heads up: asking for or linking copyrighted games/dumps/FPKGs isn't allowed here. Homebrew, tools, and firmware discussion are fine. If this got caught by mistake, message the mods and we'll take a look.

Looks amazing but looks like requires another device to navigate around, compared to my current setup which is ezRemote client and a NAS running webdav server. I don't need anything else other than the console it self connected to wired gigabit connection to my NAS.

Depends on how you use it. 

The "sender" part is not necessary. You can just run it as FPKGi server. In that case no another device needed. 

And ezRemote doesn't do BGFT installations afaik, so there is always two steps: first download the package into console's storage and then install it. I haven't used it much, so correct me if I'm wrong. 

FPKGi can do BGFT, which in my experience is faster and doesn't require an app to be open during download. You can start a download and play another game during the process, or even put your console into rest mode.  That's useful if you (like me) use original PS4 HDD which is slow compared to modern SSDs and (again just like me) capped by a router's 1Gbit Ethernet. 

Oh and BTW copyparty have WebDAV and many other protocols out of the box too.

Nope, ezremote client do both, it use bgft if the link is http(s) link, else if its smb, nfs, and ftp, then what you say is true.

This is why I use webdav on my NAS.

Edit : to be honest theres one time that downloading the fpkg first before installing manually via Install Package on debug menu because bgft errors on any fpkg that is less than 1mb.

I saw part of your banned comment about BGFT on HTTP vs FTP/SMB.

Now I see. To enable the same BGFT mode in ezRemote I have to check the `RPI` box and leave `Disk Cache` unchecked. Works pretty cool, I wish I'd noticed earlier 😄
