yimura/lancache-prefill-cron repository overview

⁠Steam Lancache Prefill Cronjob

This container image builds on-top of the existing tpill90/steam-lancache-prefill⁠ image.

⁠Purpose

Because I have a bad internet connection and don't enjoy keeping my desktop PC running 24/7 I've made this container image. All it does is start up steam-lancache-prefill at 4am which will then verify if all your selected games have are up-to-date. If there are any updates available it will start downloading.

This way the next time you boot up your desktop computer you know that whichever game you play will be quicker to update as you've already downloaded the update internally.

⁠How do I sign into Steam and start prefilling games?

Use docker exec to sign into Steam and select the games you wish to preload.

docker exec -it lancache-prefill-cron /SteamPrefill select-apps
