Edit: This isn't about this specific game in particular! The point is that install folders are just disappearing when they shouldn't.

I have just installed a non-steam game right after a fresh re-image of SteamOS. Genshin Impact is the game in question. At first I added the installer .exe to Steam as a non-steam game and successfully installed it. The next step would be to add the launcher .exe as a non-steam game. But I couldn't find it in the 'Steam/steamapps/compatdata/[random numbers]/pfx/drive_c/Progam Files (x86)' folder like expected and just installed it again without thinking twice about it. This time I could find the launcher.exe and added it as a non-steam game.

Now I could launch the launcher.exe through Steam and installed Genshin Impact from there and chose the C:/Program Files (x86) as the install location (from a weird Windows looking directory chooser). The game downloads and installs successfully and I close the launcher. Now the next step of the guide I'm following tells me to switch back to Gaming Mode and launch the game. I do that and it immediately closes again. I go back into Desktop Mode to see what's up. Maybe it just can't launch in Gaming Mode, but in Desktop Mode it behaves the same and closes immediately. To investigate I navigate to the installation folder again and see that the launcher installation has completely disappeared but the game itself is still installed and after adding the GenshinImpact.exe as a non-steam game I'm able to launch the game without problems.

But my question is now, how do I prevent this from happening? Why does a folder just disappear? Again I'm on a freshly re-imaged SteamOS and this is the first thing I've done before setting anything else up.

Any help is much appreciated!

Notes: This is the guide I was following to install the game

As a side note: In the video the guy is just right clicking and selecting 'Add to Steam' in Desktop Mode when I do that it just opens the dialogue window to choose the file I want to add to Steam instead of adding it directly. Is this a setting or something?

It gets even weirder: Just now I wanted to rename the as a non-steam game added 'GenshinImpact.exe' and upon clicking into the text field all input fields on that interface just cleared. Of course I wanted to add the target again and what do I see? Nothing. The game just disappeared. What the hell is going on?

To be clear I'm a beginner and I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the information I found and not completely sure if the information I found is up to date or outdated and I figured I would just ask here to get some clear answers.

What I want to achieve:

• have TrueNAS Scale web GUI and installed apps like Nextcloud or Photoprism be remotely accessible
• have that remote access be secure
• use my registered domain instead of the IP address of my server to access the TrueNAS Scale web GUI and the installed apps
• don't have certificate warnings when accessing all this over HTTPS

Can someone explain to me how I achieve this or point me to a guide that walks me through it? I appreciate any help I can get.

I already managed to setup Tailscale and managed to access my server through that but then I got stuck on how to set it up to use my registered domain name to access the server.

So the next thing I tried was using the DynDNS of my Fritzbox but unfortunately it seems that Cloudflare (where I have registered my domain) does not provide a "update url" which the Fritzbox DynDNS GUI requires to set it up. This was to use it in combination with port forwarding and Wireguard (this is the guide I was following: https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-truenas-scale/)

I also found this guide: https://notthebe.ee/blog/easy-ssl-in-homelab-dns01/ but that's for servers without TrueNAS and I don't think I'm experienced enough to transfer it and apply it to TrueNAS.

So yeah, I'm overwhelmed by information and I need help.

I have installed Komga via the Apps menu on my TrueNAS Scale server, so far so good. I created a user account on Komga and I see the UI of Komga but that's as far as I get. When I go to import and open the file browser I see this:

I recognize the linux directory structure but where is this coming from? Where do I put my comics so that I can select them there?

I'm very new to selfhosting as you can probably tell. Please help me.

Edit: Ok I think I figured it out. I didn't set a mount path for additional storage, after setting this up I can now see my comics folder under /home

I have recently upgraded my SSD in the Steam Deck to a 1TB one and created a 300GB Windows partition on it to be able to play Genshin Impact. So far so good, that is working as it should.

Before upgrading I had the 64GB model and used a 512GB SD card. On that I had Diablo 4 installed and it was working perfectly fine. But now I'm unable to get it to work again. I can't remember which Proton version I used but pretty much any version I tried (including GE-Proton ones) is not working now that I'm trying to install and run Diablo 4 on the new 1TB SSD.

Did anyone else experience something like that?

Edit: As long as I'm in Desktop Mode I can add the "Battle.net Launcher.exe" to Steam and launch it with Proton Experimental and I'm able to install Diablo 4 but as soon as I go back to Gaming Mode the Battle.net launcher isn't starting anymore.
