On occasion I find myself needing to send a file at least a few gigabytes in size to a friend across our slow ISPs but haven't found a satisfying solution. I usually end up creating a private torrent with the announce address of my own IP. Even though it's slow - it basically never reaches my max upload speed for some reason, it is at least resilient if there are ever any network glitches.

Does anyone else face this same challenge?

EDIT: Thank you for the awesome suggestions! I have some homework to do on these

Greetings Pioneers! I got my local dedicated server stats added to Home Assistant and wanted to share if anyone else is interested.

First off the API documentation can be found at “steamapps/common/Satisfactory/CommunityResources/DedicatedServerAPIDocs.md” or here thanks to redditor /u/suudo.

I generated an API token by opening the game client, clicking Server Manager > Console and entering the command server.GenerateAPIToken and added the following code block below to my configuration.yaml file.

NOTE: I assume this goes without saying, but just wanted to note that you need to input your own server IP at YOUR_DEDICATED_SERVER_IP and input your own API token at YOUR_TOKEN in my example below. If there’s more you want to see please consult the documentation I’ve linked above.

NOTE: I specified a unique_id for each sensor so they are customizable in the UI - this can be literally anything as long as it’s unique.

rest:
  - scan_interval: 60
