Drop — 360pc Fork

Self-hosted DRM-free game distribution for families — no Docker required.

This is EvilBob01's fork of Drop OSS, patched for native Debian/Proxmox deployment and extended with bulk-import tooling for large libraries.

What This Fork Adds

Feature	Description
No Docker	Runs natively on Debian 12/13 as a systemd service
Debian package	Pre-built .deb available on the Releases page
Game name normaliser	Strips release group names, dot-separators, and version strings before metadata search
Auto-batch import	One API call imports all 500+ games from /library with fuzzy metadata matching
Image carousel fix	Screenshots from Steam/PCGamingWiki now populate the game detail carousel
PCGamingWiki fix	Browser User-Agent headers added to image proxy — no more 403 on cover art
Tailwind CSS fix	Pre-generates CSS via @tailwindcss/cli to work around broken Vite plugin in Nuxt SSR builds

Quick Install (Debian .deb)

Download the latest .deb from the Releases page and install it on any Debian 12/13 amd64 machine:

# Download the latest release
wget https://github.com/EvilBob01/drop/releases/latest/download/drop-oss_amd64.deb

# Install (PostgreSQL and nginx must already be installed)
apt-get install -y postgresql nginx nodejs
dpkg -i drop-oss_amd64.deb

# Configure
cp /opt/drop/app/.env.example /opt/drop/app/.env
nano /opt/drop/app/.env   # set DATABASE_URL and EXTERNAL_URL

# Start
systemctl start drop

Then open http://localhost:3000 to complete first-run setup.

Manual Install (from source)

See INSTALL.md for the full step-by-step guide covering:

• Proxmox LXC container setup
• Node.js 22, Rust nightly, PostgreSQL 17
• Building Torrential (Rust P2P daemon) from source
• Building the Nuxt server with Tailwind CSS pre-generation
• Systemd service, nginx reverse proxy, Let's Encrypt SSL
• First-run setup and initial game import

Bulk Game Import

After adding your library source in the admin panel, import all games in one shot:

# Dry run first — see what will be matched
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/admin/import/game/auto-batch \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"dryRun": true, "minScore": 0.75}' | python3 -m json.tool

# Run it for real
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/admin/import/game/auto-batch \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"minScore": 0.75}' | python3 -m json.tool

The normaliser handles common repack naming conventions automatically:

Library folder	Search query sent to Steam
A.Plague.Tale.Requiem.v1076	A Plague Tale Requiem
Age of Empires IV [Repack]	Age of Empires IV
Above.Snakes -stuff	Above Snakes
RimWorld.v1.4.3613	RimWorld

Upstream

This fork tracks Drop-OSS/drop on the develop branch. Upstream bug fixes are cherry-picked regularly. See CHANGELOG.md for the merge log.

Philosophy (from upstream)

1. Flexible — abstractions and interfaces are worth the complexity.
2. Secure — never accessible without authentication; supports SSO, 2FA, OIDC.
3. User-friendly — clean interface with advanced features available when needed.
