LanCache.NET

LAN party game caching made easy

LanCache.NET is a caching system for LAN parties that lets organizers download game content once and serve it to many players on the same network. It is a UKLans project released under the MIT license. Setup is handled through a Docker Compose deployment, with the router configured to direct traffic to the cache controller.

The project is split into components: Monolithic, an all-in-one caching solution for game content; Lancache-DNS, which directs DNS to the cache controller; and supporting services including Sniproxy and Generic Content caching. Documentation covers system overview and advanced topics, and the source is hosted on GitHub.
