Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Warracker hard to install?

Warracker is straightforward to install using Docker Compose. Just pull the official image, configure basic environment variables (like database credentials), and run the container—no complex dependencies beyond Docker, making it accessible for users with basic self-hosting experience.

? Is it a good alternative to BoardGameGeek Collection?

Yes! Warracker mirrors core BGG Collection features (tracking, play logging) but adds self-hosted privacy. It supports importing from BGG to migrate your collection easily, and keeps your data private on your server instead of BGG’s public platform.

? Is it completely free?

Absolutely—Warracker is 100% open-source and free to use. There are no subscription fees or paid tiers; you only cover the cost of hosting it on your own server or VPS.
