[Request] LanCache docker

[Barry Staes]

LanCache speeds up the game update downloads of

• Steam,
  Blizard,
  Hirez,
  Origin,
  Riot Games,
  Sony,
  Turbine,
  XBox, and
  Windows Update.
  
• 
  

And it seems like a perfect match for Unraid, backed with lots of storage and a fast cache. Its also established / used on several LAN party events to minimize network congestion.

There even is a docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/mpawlowski/lancache/

 

I would be happy to make this my first ever docker, if someone feels like giving me guidance. I'm hosting a LAN party in about a week from now, and hope to use this to seriously accelerate the Steam downloads. But i feel more people would like to use this.

Note to self: a guide on how to run any docker .. i'll try that on the one i mentioned. It might just work..

CA attempts to do the same thing as those instructions (if you turn on dockerHub searches) - but its not an exact science and will occasionally not be able to scrape the correct information.

Did you ever figure out how to get this to work?

[ColeBrodine]

I thought I'd throw in here too.  I'd love to get LANcache to work on unRAID.  I'm doing some experimenting without much luck right now.

I am using steamcache, working perfect, using docker on unraid.

 

More info:

https://github.com/steamcache/generic (Cache server)

https://github.com/steamcache/sniproxy (sniproxy for https, needed for Origin and Epic Games)

https://github.com/uklans/cache-domains (cache domains for own DNS server) or

https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache-dns (dns server with cache domains)

I tried to set this up to cache my sons PlayStation 4 updates so they only have to download once on our slow internet. Unfortunately I could not get this to work. I was really confused how to setup all the dockers. Happen to have a write up of the process?

In the apps tap search for steamcache and download the "generic cache" i will recommend to use you network interface as network type eg "br0" and then add a fixed ip you know is not in use as port 80 is used by unraid by default apply the docker.

 

If you have a router were you can setup dns records then add thies domains

pls.patch.station.sony.com
gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net
gs2.sonycoment.loris-e.llnwd.net

https://github.com/uklans/cache-domains/blob/master/sony.txt  

 

and point them to the fixed ip set for the cache, if your router do not support do set some dns records then go to the apps tap and download the steamcache-dns and change your dhcp settings in your router to use steamcache-dns as dns server

Thank you @Mikki I appreciate your help! I was able to get this working by installing the steamcache-generic docker and a dnsmasq docker from jpillora/dnsmasq. The steamcache-dns docker is missing the Sony servers for some reason. Will save me some bandwidth now!

Dont know why, im using the unraid docker for years now, but since some weeks/months windows 10 updates are no longer working (dont seem to download)

Recently started using the generic cache container with much success setup by cheesemarathon.  He details his instructions here:  https://squishedmooo.com/?p=1
