7 Days to Die

Introduction

This guide will assist you in setting up your 7 Days to Die Gameserver.

Start & Stop

To set up the server, you need some files. Start the server once, then turn it off. The server has now downloaded everything and is ready for setup.

Settings

serverconfig.xml

Path: /home/container/serverconfig.xml

This file allows you to set the server name, password, visibility, and other server settings.

Server Config

serveradmin.xml

Path: /home/container/.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/serveradmin.xml

In this file, you can assign administrator roles, distribute permissions, and create a blacklist or whitelist.

To become an administrator, find the commented-out admin entry and remove the comment markers (<!-- and -->) at both ends. Add your SteamID, your in-game name, and your permission level. You are now an administrator.

Admin Config

If you want to have more than one administrator, you can repeat this line multiple times.
