What PKVault actually does
PKVault is a self-hosted application designed for centralised Pokémon storage management and tracking data similar to a personal Pokédex. It serves as an alternative to proprietary cloud-based services like Pokémon Home, giving you direct control over your database. The project operates under the GPL-3.0 licence and is distributed as a containerised deployment.
Best fit: It suits self-hosters and gaming enthusiasts who want to manage their digital Pokémon collections locally without relying on official subscription services.
Worth knowing: The development activity is currently slowing down, which may impact how quickly bugs are addressed or new game generations are supported.
Deployment notes
Because it runs via Docker, you will typically need to map persistent volumes for data storage and configure a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
