Updated 2026-10-14

·Set a server password

  1. 1Provide it during checkout, or change it later in the control panel's Startup/Environment variables.
  2. 2Anyone joining must enter the password in the game's server list.
  3. 3Great for private worlds — your Discord or friend group gets the password, everyone else is kept out.

·RCON admin

  1. 1Your Admin/RCON password appears in your server details (and the deployment email).
  2. 2Use an RCON client pointed at your server address to run admin commands without the game open.
  3. 3Never share your RCON password — it grants full admin control.
