Need Help Game Syncing Service

Hello, i am dealing with problem where, rockstar did not cloud saved my 200h progress rdr2. Its the only game i did not cracked because i wanted to have it real and with cloud saving.. But, they sucked..

I want to ask, is there any open source service that i can use for syncing and saving / loading saves from game ?

Example:
I install game on pc -> Open game and do some progress -> it will auto sync to my server at home

When i download game on legion go ill install some client side service and if i download same game, it will load and sync with server and vice versa..

I am so pissed about that cloud saving stuff from companies. This is like third time, it happend in some game...

Thanks

PS: I play mostly single player games so i need it for save not for stuff like apex and etc 😃

I used gitlab. Free private account. But it's very easy to self host as a docker image.

I have a repo checkout out, and create symlinks from it to all the various places games save to.

then I can use vscode's superb git support to commit, push, and roll back to any previous save I want to.

It also allows syncing between different machines, even across os's - my desktop windows can be synced with my steam deck.

Cheers :)

Works great except for cyberpunk which has stupidly large save games :)
