This guide is setup to help you create your own server with Hetzner Cloud. You are not limited to Hetzner, but the steps might be a bit different.

Setup a cloud server

Order a Debian 11 cloud server.

1. Any Shared vCPU server is perfect for the job.
2. Pick a region that is closest to you.
3. Enter a name, like community-website

Click Create & Buy now.

Prepare your domain

Create an A-record for the domain and use the VPS IP as the target.

In the example below, we configured the domain www.mywebsite.com. Please note that each domain provider has a different way of setting this up. If you do not understand or run into problems, please contact the company you ordered the domain at.

Access console

Once the installation is completed, click Console (a new window will open). You will be asked to enter the username and password.

1. for login: enter root
2. for password: enter the password you received in your mail from Hetzner

If asked to change the password, please (!) pick a strong password and make sure to remember it / write it down somewhere save.

Run Community website installer

In the console, paste wget -O install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GameserverApp/Community-Website/master/scripts/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && bash install.sh and press enter
