Dedicated Servers
New dedicated server
When getting started working with the panel, you should add a dedicated server (VDS/VPS, container, physical server) to run GameAP Daemon.
You can install GameAP Daemon on a dedicated server automatically by executing a script, or you can do it manually. When installing manually, you should also generate SSL certificates and sign them, as well as edit the configuration file /etc/gameap-daemon/gameap-daemon.cfg.
Automatic GameAP Daemon installation on a dedicated server
Go to the “Administration” -> “Dedicated Servers” page, click on the “Create” button. A window appears prompting you to automatically install GameAP Daemon on a dedicated server. Copy the command and run it on the dedicated server as the superuser. The command looks something like this:
curl http://your-panel/gdaemon/setup/zItWHWlI4RKPl9ZsYc3y3Wgd | bash --
The command will be available for execution within 5 minutes. After the time elapses, reload the page to see the new command.
Editing dedicated servers
To edit a dedicated server (node), go to “Administration” -> “Dedicated Servers” page, then select the dedicated server you want to edit and click on the “Edit” button.
