RomM (Rom Manager)

Overview

Inspired by Jellyfin and after found that the awesome Gameyfin project is not supported for arm64 architectures (since my own homelab is only made by 3 rpis) and it is a general game library manager, I decided to develop my own game library solution, focused on retro gaming.

For now, it is only available as a docker image (amd64/arm64)

Features

• Scans your game library (all at once or by platform) and enriches it with IGDB metadata
• Access your library via your web-browser
• Possibility to select one of the matching IGDB results if the scan doesn't get the right one
• Download games directly from your web-browser
• Edit your game files directly from your web-browser
• Set a custom cover for each game [WIP]
• Upload games directly from your web-browser [WIP]
• Manage save files directly from your web-browser [WIP]
• Responsive design
• Light and dark theme

Prerequisites

To allow RomM scan your retro games library, it should follow the following structure:

library/
├─ gbc/
│  ├─ roms/
│     ├─ rom_1.gbc
│     ├─ rom_2.gbc
|
├─ gba/
│  ├─ roms/
│     ├─ rom_1.gba
│     ├─ rom_2.gba

Installation

Check the docker-compose.yml example

Get API key from IGDB for the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET variables.

Troubleshoot

After the first installation, sometimes the RomM container can have problems connecting with the database. Restarting the RomM container may solve the problem.
