Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the frequently asked questions about DediConnect.
Which machines are best for DediConnect?
We set up a list of supported providers. For these providers, you can find guides that help you order, configure and connect the machine with GSA.
Recommended machine specifications
- 3.5Ghz or better
- 64GB+ memory (RAM)
- 500GB+ disk (SSD or NVMe)
- Fresh installed OS (Linux or Windows)
Additionally, installing GSA without a fresh installation of Linux or Windows can cause issues.
Do I keep full root access to my machine?
Yes, you keep full access to your machine because it's yours.
What is the difference between GSA:Hosted and DediConnect?
About 99% is the same. Things like GEO separate backups are not available for DediConnect. With DediConnect, you are responsible for the hardware. For GSA:Hosted, we are responsible for the hardware.
Can I set custom ports for game servers?
Yes, but we strongly recommend you don't. However, you can configure the Query, Game, Raw Game & Rcon / Telnet ports if you are stubborn.
How many game servers can I host on a machine?
That depends on the dedicated machine. Each game server will, on average, use 7GB of RAM (memory). So if you want to host 10 game servers, we recommend you have at least 70GB of memory available on the machine. Make sure to reserve at least 4GB of RAM for the machine. So for this example, you would need at least 74GB of RAM.
Which Operating Systems (OS) are currently supported?
You can connect a server running Debian 10 & 11, Ubuntu 22.04, Windows Server 2019 (Standard) & Windows Server 2022 (Standard).
Can I switch to a different Operating System (OS) later?
You can re-install the machine to switch to a different OS. GSA will automatically detect the new OS.
Need help setting up a supported provider machine?
We set up guides for every step in the process.
What services can GSA install on my machine?
We currently support installing:
- MySQL
- Syncthing
GSA platform IP addresses
You can find a list of the IP addresses that may contact your game servers/machines in our knowledge base.
SSH Key Auth for DediConnect
When you prefer using SSH key authentication, you must manually add the following SSH key to your root user.
If you're unsure how this works, please use the standard password authentication. During the DediConnect installation, your machine automatically switches to SSH key auth, and the password is removed from our database.
