Deploying a server
Prerequisites : Having a hosting on which the Drooft Game Hosting service is installed.
If you haven't already, please follow the installation guide for the Drooft Game Hosting service.
Step 1:
Go to the page adding game server and provide the following information:
- Choice of host : Choose which hosting the game server will be deployed on
- Game : Choose the game to deploy (so 7 Days to Die)
- Game server name : Name your game server so that it is easily identifiable to you
- Game port : Enter the server port. This same port +2 will also be used, for example 8080/8082, 9050/9052, etc. (make sure that the ports are open for UDP/TCP on the internet)..
- Access type : Choose the access mode to your server (password, friends)
Note: Port 8081 is used locally by 7 Days to Die. Therefore, this port cannot be used and must not be exposed to the internet.
Once the above information has been entered, you will be redirected to your server's administration page.
Step 2:
Wait a few minutes for the server to go into the state "Game server turned off" (depending on the speed of your internet connection).
Now that the server is initialized, you can configure a number of server options at the bottom of the page (eg: Maximum number of players).
Start your server (button "to start up").
If your server is on Windows, you may be prompted to install a dependency, click accept.
The game server is ready, all you have to do is play and invite your friends !
Tips:
1. Check that the server port is open to the internet (UDP and TCP). You can use online tools like "https://portchecker.co/check-v0" to confirm your network stream opening.

A number of game server settings can be changed directly from the site. This list is constantly evolving.
Below is the list of already supported options:

- Admin password : Allows you to join the game server in administrator mode (access to options)
- Maximum number of players : Allows you to choose the maximum number of simultaneous players on the server

Other options may be added in the future, depending on needs.
