Machines
Prepare a Linux machine
On Debian 11/12/13 or Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, one command installs the full hosting stack — Docker, SSH, FTP and an English locale.
Run the preparation command
Connect over SSH (or your provider's console) as root and run:
curl -fsSL https://dash.soezy.net/downloads/install-script_linux.sh | sudo bash
What it installs
- OpenSSH server — control channel (port 22).
- Docker — each game server runs in its own container.
- vsftpd — FTP file access (port 21 + passive 11000-11999).
- Python 3 and the en_US.UTF-8 locale.
Important: The panel expects English command output. The script sets the locale for you — don't switch it back afterwards (see troubleshooting).
Connect
Use the machine's IP and a root or sudo user to connect the machine. Only port 22 is needed to connect.
