I have my Ouya modded and it’s working fine with an online custom server, but the “console” it’s usually on a location without internet access.
Is there a way of installing a full working server running from USB, with all the bells and whistles like apps/games info, pictures/videos and APKs? I know it will require a USB flash drive with at least 128GB or even 256GB, but I would really like the Ouya to be totally independent from the Internet, while still being able to browse the server and install/try a few games once in a while, perfectly knowing it’s a static server and will never be updated with new apps/games.
The space required for apks, images and videos for all games is around 980 GiB.
My louyapi application allows you to run the API server on your OUYA, but it will still use the statics.ouya.world domain for images, videos and apks. Up to now nobody cared to add an option for completely self-hosting the server on the OUYA.
You can run the API server that powers ouya.cweiske.de on a local machine with all data when you download it from statics.ouya.world or the internet archive. The URLs for all the files can be found in the game data repository if you want to download them.
I didn’t have a clue that the total content was around 980GiB! I have an older No-Intro pack that had 82GB of APKs, but around 11GB were older versions of the same games/apps, so I thought adding around 10 to 20GB of images and videos would total around 100ish GB, but it seems I was WAY off course. Do the APKs in those 980GiB include multiple older versions of the same games/apps, or just the latest APK for each game/app? Even if it does, removing them probably wouldn’t make a dent on the total size anyway.
My computer knowledge is very limited (if compared to yours ) but I’ll probably try the API server in a local machine just to get the “feel” of it, then mess around with the louyapi that I had already installed so the Ouya wouldn’t require Internet access.
