## What it is
Gameyfin is a self-hosted web application that organizes video game collections into a browsable library, similar to Jellyfin for media. It scans game folders, fetches metadata and cover art, and lets users download games and share libraries via a browser interface.

## Use cases
- organize my video game collection with a web interface
- self-hosted game library server like jellyfin for games
- share my game library with friends over lan
- automatically download cover art and metadata for my games
- let friends download games from my server via browser
- host a game library with oauth2 single sign-on

## When to choose
- you want a jellyfin-like self-hosted library specifically for video games
- you need browser-based access and downloads for a shared game collection
- you want lan-friendly caching, theming, and plugin extensibility
- you need SSO integration via OAuth2/OpenID Connect for your library

## When to avoid
- you want to stream or play games remotely rather than download files
- you need DRM-protected platform integration (Steam, Epic launchers)
- you want a lightweight desktop-only organizer without a web server
- you cannot run a JVM or container in your environment
