Grimwar/Dedicated servers
Draft documentation. This page is being verified against the current public SDK and may change before release.
Community dedicated servers use file-based configuration, isolated mutable data directories, deterministic map rotation, and the same addon validation rules as the client.
Operator checklist
- Install the current dedicated-server build.
- Complete the first-run preflight to create configuration and secret directories.
- Set identity, networking, ruleset, and rotation configuration.
- Configure direct Workshop items, collections, or manually staged release packages.
- Keep secrets outside ordinary configuration files and restrict filesystem permissions.
- Review server, Workshop, content-delivery, and networking diagnostics before opening the server publicly.
