SteamCMD and Family Sharing on dedicated server
By James Williams
I'm upgrading to a new server soon and would like to make this one a bit more secure than my last one. Since many of the game server binaries I want to install require the game to have been brought, it means I need to log in everytime I want to update them. This make auto-updating difficult because I have Steam Guard enabled and I don't really want to leave my password in game's update scripts.
So, I'm wondering if it's possible to have a second Steam account that I could do Steam Family Sharing with which would allow me to update the game servers which would save having to purchase the games twice.
If this is possible, how could in achieve this on GUI-less server? AFAIK, Family Sharing can only be enabled in the Steam desktop GUI and I think only works on that particular machine, but I'm unsure of its possible and would like an answer for this. I feel this could help others too with the same question.
