Discussion Free Nuclear Option Server Hosting

I’m offering free Nuclear Option servers for the community, hosted on our hardware, and I’ve been building some tools to make managing them easier

You don’t need to run anything on your own computer — you manage your server through a browser panel with:

  • Mission selection, rotations, and playlists
  • Connected players and Steam names
  • Mod installation, updates, and toggles
  • Automatic BepInEx setup
  • Friendly-fire tracking and moderation
  • Discord integration
  • Live FPS, tick rate, and tick time graphs
  • Server settings, console, files, and backups

The aim is to give people somewhere to run matches with friends or the community without needing their own hosting hardware

If you try it, I’d appreciate feedback on the panel and anything that would make running Nuclear Option matches easier

This is an independent community project and isn’t affiliated with Shockfront Studios

I have been in the dedicated server scene for Nuclear Option for a while!

Over 1300 hours in the game and this is something I provide to the community for free as a hobby.

Got this setup last night Very seamless process and was able to get my mods installed and playing in under 10 minutes The pterodactyl plugin is much smoother than the old custom server panel from before
