Using UNRAID

Unraid is a storage operating system that allows users to create a centralized and scalable network-attached storage (NAS) solution, utilizing a unique array of drives with different sizes and types while offering the flexibility to run virtual machines and Docker containers.

You can easily set up a GameVault Server by using one of our templates from the Unraid Community Applications Store.

Prerequisites​

Step 1: Setting up the Database​

Log into your Unraid dashboard and navigate to your apps section of the dashboard and search for the offical postgresql15 Community Application by postgres

Step 1

Step 2: Install POSTGRES​

Using the default configuration making sure you add the following entries:

POSTGRES_USER: gamevault
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: RANDOMPASSWORD
POSTGRES_DB: gamevault

Make sure you remember the password and port you set we will use this in step 3

Step 2

Step 3: Setting up your GameVault Backend server​

Search for gamevault-backend on the Unraid app store making sure to click the one without the SQLITE in the title.

Click install

Step 3

Alternative Step 3: Running without a PostgreSQL Database​

We don't recommend it but you can run GameVault without a PostgreSQL Database too by instead using the GameVault-Backend-SQLITE template by phalcode in Step 2.

Step 4: Configure install​

Using the password and port fill out the information that is required and click apply at the bottom.

Step 4

Your GameVault should now be available at http://tower.local:8080/ or HOSTNAME:PORT if you changed your hostname or port.
