Requirements

Supported Operating Systems (OS)​

Pick the right OS

The games you want to host should primarily determine what OS works best for your machine. Not all games work on every OS and in certain cases plugins only work one OS, so we recommend you do your research. Join our Discord for personal advice.

  • Debian 10
  • Debian 11
  • Ubuntu 22.04
  • Windows Server 2019 (Standard & Datacenter edition)
  • Windows Server 2022 (Standard & Datacenter edition)

Hardware specifications​

  • Processor: 3.5GHz or more (AMD or Intel)
  • RAM: 64GB or more
  • DISK: 500GB or more (SSD or NVMe only!)
Windows drive

GSA can currently only install DediConnect on the C:\ drive.

Below is a list of frequently used hardware, for DediConnect:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7700
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7900
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
  • AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X
  • Intel Core i7-6700
  • Intel Core i7-7700
  • Intel Core i9-9900K
E-core CPU's

While it's technically fine to use CPU's that have both E-cores & P-cores, for game server hosting we recommend using CPU's that only have P-cores (normal CPU's).

Root / Administrator access​

In order to optimise your machine for DediConnect, it needs Root (Linux) or Administrator (Windows) access. There currently is no work around for this.

Network ports​

These are the ports GSA may use to run communicate with your machine and host game servers and service on the machine:

Required​

  • 21 FTP
  • 22 SSH
  • 2456 - 2600
  • 7777 - 7900
  • 11000 - 12000 Passive FTP
  • 23000 - 23300
  • 27015 - 27300
  • 30000 - 30300
  • 37015 - 37215

Optional​

  • 5555 - 5700 Atlas only
  • 8080 - 8200 Atlas only
  • 8384 Required for Syncthing
Firewall suggestion

Optionally you can allow access to specific ports (21, 22, 8384, 11000 - 12000) for Platform IP's only, for extra security.
