Getting Started With Your Arma Reforger Server

Welcome to your Reforger server. This guide gets you from a fresh server to online, and shows you where every tool lives in the panel.

1. Let it install

When your server is first created it downloads the Reforger server files. Give it a few minutes. You can watch progress on the Console tab. Don't start it until the install finishes.

2. Start it

Open the Console tab and click Start. The first boot takes a minute or two. When it's ready the console will show the server is up and waiting for players.

3. Find your way around

Your server navigation has a few tabs you click directly, plus two dropdown menus that group everything else. Click a dropdown to reveal its buttons.

Tabs you click directly:

  • Console: start/stop/restart and read live server output.
  • Players: see who's online, kick, and ban.
  • Files: your config.json and all server files.

The Configuration menu (click it to open the dropdown) holds your setup buttons:

  • Arma Mods: browse and install Workshop mods, and manage mod presets.
  • Server Settings: set the server name, passwords, max players, crossplay, admins, the active scenario, and all the gameplay rules, as simple form fields.
  • Startup: your RCON password and other startup options.
  • Users: give other people access to help manage the server.

The Utilities menu (another dropdown) holds:

  • Backups: snapshot and restore your server.
  • Schedules: automatic restarts and tasks.
  • Activity: a log of recent actions on your server.
Auto-update: your server keeps itself up to date by default. When Bohemia releases a Reforger update, your server picks it up on its next restart.

Something not starting? Open a ticket with your server name and we'll help.
