Appearance

Install from a Release ZIP ​

For a 7 Days to Die dedicated-server owner or administrator. Requires a Release asset compatible with the server, filesystem access to <7DTD_SERVER_ROOT>/Mods/, and an approved initial administrator account.

Purpose ​

Install the packaged ServerAdmin backend and web console together as one mod; no frontend repository or source build is required.

Before you begin ​

  • Read the selected Release's compatibility, prerequisites, known issues, recommended asset name, and SHA-256 value when one is published.
  • 0_TFP_Harmony is an optional dependency. ServerAdmin starts without it, but Harmony-based features may be unavailable when it is missing. Install or confirm it only when the Release compatibility notes say the features you need require it.
  • Back up an existing Mods/ServerAdmin/ directory before replacing it.
  • Decide whether the browser runs on the server host or a permitted remote network; do not expose initial credentials on a public port.

Procedure ​

  1. Stop the dedicated server if it is running and download the exact ServerAdmin.v<version>.zip asset named by the Release.
  2. Verify the published SHA-256 when available, then extract into <7DTD_SERVER_ROOT>/Mods/.
  3. Confirm ModInfo.xml is directly under <7DTD_SERVER_ROOT>/Mods/ServerAdmin/; correct Mods/ServerAdmin/ServerAdmin/ by moving the inner directory contents.
  4. Start the dedicated server and wait for ServerAdmin mod load. Open the configured URL; http://localhost:<PORT>/ only works from the server host. A permitted remote browser uses http://<SERVER_HOST>:<PORT>/ with the actual server host name or permitted/private IP, subject to firewall and network policy.
  5. Sign in with the Release-provided initial account, immediately change credentials, and restrict remote access through network policy.

Verify the result ​

  • The server log shows the mod loaded without a compatibility or dependency failure.
  • The login page opens at the configured URL; sign-in shows Dashboard or a simple read-only page.

Limits and safety notes ​

WARNING

Release notes define the game version and prerequisites. Do not install frontend build tooling or frontend sources to diagnose mod loading.

DANGER

Do not expose a known initial credential on a public management port. Change it before remote access and restrict access through a firewall or existing reverse proxy.
