Steam Screenshot Server

A simple little server to host screenshots taken from steam games.

Configuration

{
    "Address": ":8080",
    "ApiKey": "",
    "ApiWhitelist": ["127.0.0.1"],
    "AppidOverrides": [
        {
            "id": "231410",
            "name": "Kerbal Space Program Demo"
        }, {
            "id": "33440",
            "name": "Driver San Francisco"
        }
    ],
    "ImageDirectory": "/opt/SteamScreenshots/screenshots/"
}

The Address setting is simply the address to listen on. For example, if you only want to allow local connections on port 8080 set this to 127.0.0.1:8080.

AppidOverrides is a list of id's and names to override a game's name.

If the ApiKey field is empty, a new key will be generated on each launch of the server. The key is printed to STDOUT upon server startup. You'll need to manually save this key to the configuration file to have it persist.

ImageDirectory is the storage location for all the screenshots. This folder must exist. Unlike previous versions, the derectory structure does not mimic Steam's directory structure. Each folder inside is named with an appid and contains the screenshots directly instead of having another screenshots subfolder.

Recommended Setup

It's recommended to run the server behind a reverse proxy like nginx. The screenshot server doesn't implement TLS so this will need to be provided by the reverse proxy.

See the systemd directory in this repo for example Systemd unit files for both the server and the uploader.

Uploader

The uploader is meant to be run on any machine that has Steam locally installed. There is an example Systemd unit file in the systemd folder.

Example configuration

{
    "Server": "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
    "Key": "",
    "RemoteDirectory": "/path/to/steam/remote/folder/"
}

The remote directory can be found by clicking on the "Show on disk" button in the Steam Screenshot Manager window. The path entered into the configuration should be an absolute path ending in remote/.

Notes

• Game names are matched to their appropriate appid using the Steam store API. The appid's are cached locally.
• Game grid icons are also retrieved from steam's servers and cached locally. Non-Steam games will use a default "unknown" image.

TODO

• Some sort of install script or pacakge building script
• Docker?
