Steam Recommender

Information

Steam Recommender is a self-hosted web app that gives you game recommendations based on your Steam library. It is exposed through Traefik at steam-game-recommender.${PROJECT_HOSTNAME} and protected by Authentik SSO.

Lightweight single-container service — no database required for basic operation.
Steam API keys are stored per-user inside the application, so there are no required environment variables to run it.
Data is persisted to a data volume so your recommendations and settings survive restarts.

Just Steam Recommender Commands

Type	Command
Start	`docker compose up steam-recommender -d`
Shutdown	`docker compose down steam-recommender`

Once started, it should be hit from this url:

	URL
Non-SSL (Web UI)	http://localhost:3030
Image	`lquincarter/steam-game-recommender`

The web UI is published through Traefik, so in normal operation you reach it at https://steam-game-recommender.${PROJECT_HOSTNAME} rather than the raw host port 3030.

Steam Recommender Example Docker Compose

services:
  steam-recommender:
    image: lquincarter/steam-game-recommender:latest
    env_file:
      - ./.env
      - ../../.env
    ports:
      - "3030:80"
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: steam-game-recommender
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.steam-game-recommender.rule=Host(`steam-game-recommender.${PROJECT_HOSTNAME}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.steam-game-recommender.entrypoints=https"
      - "traefik.http.routers.steam-game-recommender.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.services.steam-game-recommender.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
      - ${STEAM_RECOMMENDER_AUTHENTIK_MIDDLEWARE:-}
    profiles:
      - all
      - steam-recommender
    networks:
      - homelab
    volumes:
      - ${DEFAULT_CONTAINER_DATA_LOCATION}/steam-recommender/data:/data

Heads Up!

No .env variables are required for basic operation — Steam API keys are entered per-user in the app's UI.
Leave the STEAM_RECOMMENDER_AUTHENTIK_MIDDLEWARE line as-is so the app is protected by Authentik SSO when configured.
