This video walks through GG Nexus, the GG Host game panel, on a Deadside console server for PlayStation 5 and Xbox. It runs a little over five minutes, has sound, and the captions are on screen. The list under it gives the time each part starts, so you can skip to the one you need.
What the video covers
- 0:11 Dashboard. Every service you own, with its address and recent activity. Press Manage to open one.
- 0:23 Start. The panel follows the server as it boots and tells you the moment it is online.
- 0:34 Overview. Online or not, the player count, processor and memory, and Game update, which installs the newest version of the game and keeps your saves and settings.
- 0:49 Game settings. The server name players look for in the in-game list, your own ID from the corner of the game's main menu as the owner, which unlocks the in-game admin menu, and a join password.
- 1:18 World. Crossplay, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox players together, or PlayStation 5 only, and the map the server starts on, Mirny or Potny.
- 1:41 Mods. Browse, sort and search mod.io and press Add, or paste a mod.io link or ID. Drag your mods into the order the server loads them.
- 2:08 Restart. Everything waiting for a restart is listed at the top of the page, and Restart now applies it.
- 2:23 Console and Logs. What the server is doing as it happens, plus the game's logs, the death logs and the console history.
- 2:44 Files and SFTP. The same log folders in the file manager, or over SFTP with an app like FileZilla.
- 3:08 Schedules. Restart, start or stop on a timer, shown in your own time zone.
- 3:30 Live Stats. Player count, processor and memory over the day, the week and the month.
- 3:49 Access. Invite someone as a viewer, file viewer, operator or co-admin, and block or allow addresses.
- 4:17 Reset world. A wipe: GG Nexus takes a backup, deletes the world and starts the server again.
- 4:39 Stop. One click, and a warning if anyone is playing.
- 4:50 Backups. Take your own with the server stopped, then download, restore or delete it. GG Nexus also takes backups before a start and before a game update.
