My Steam Deck in total can store up to 512GB of game data. Which is enough ... for now. If i want to download another game i need to make some space by deleted one of the already downloaded games. The problem i have - ISP download speed. It is only 8MB/s. I won't sit and wait for a game to be downloaded in 1, 2 sometimes 4 hours.
Instead i have a lancache server running inside Proxmox VE. If i download a game which i haven't cached yet, it will be cached in lancache server. So now if i want to have a go at the game which i had downloaded previously, instead of download game at 8MB/s i will get that game from my lancache server and 40+ MB/s

Linux CLI commands used :
$ apt update && apt upgrade -y
$ apt install docker docker-compose git cifs-utils -y
$ apt remove apparmor
$ git clone https://github.com/lancachenet/docker-compose/ lancache
( more info about Lancache https://lancache.net/ )
