## Description

PS3NetSrv is a lightweight network server that streams PlayStation 3 game backups over your local network so a PS3 running webMAN-MOD or MultiMAN can play them without copying the game images to the console. It runs as a Docker container on a homelab or network-attached storage (NAS) box such as Unraid or Synology, watches a shared folder of game backups, and serves them to the PS3 on request, automatically decrypting encrypted ISOs and converting folders to ISOs. It is aimed at PS3 homebrew users who keep their library on a server and want to stream games to the console instead of copying them, and it saves the time and disk space of moving large game images. The project is in beta and has reported issues with Unraid 6.8.0 and later.
