Linux host required
Host your Arma Reforger sessions on hardware you already own. NodeMesh installs the dedicated server, keeps it running and relays your friends' connections, so there is nothing to open on your router. It needs a Linux host.
Free on your own PC — one host, no time limit.
Sign up, then paste one command from your dashboard on the PC that will run the server — PowerShell on Windows, a terminal on Linux. The agent installs as a service and pairs with your account.
Choose the game in the panel. NodeMesh downloads the dedicated server, sets it up and starts it, and you watch every step in the live console.
Switch on the traffic relay for the server and the panel gives you a public address. Send it to your friends: their traffic goes through the relay to your PC, so you never open a port on your router.
The memory figures are for the game server alone. If you also play on the same PC, the game itself needs its own memory on top.
Arma Reforger uses UDP on its game port (2001 by default). The relay forwards it to your PC, so you make no changes to your router. In the game, open Multiplayer, choose Direct Join and enter the address the panel gives you.
The Config tab covers the server name, password, scenario, player limit, BattlEye, third-person view, view distance and autosave. Workshop mods are added there by their ID, and the server downloads them itself on its next start. On a Linux host the server needs the system libraries libcurl4 and libssl, so install them if it fails to start. The download is around 10 GB or more.
One host — your own PC — is free with no time limit, for up to 5 game servers: the web panel and console, the config editor, the mod manager, auto-restart on crash and the traffic relay. Extra hosts cost credits.
See pricing →Beta: you can create this server today, but we have not run it on our own hardware yet. Expect rough edges, and tell us what you find.
No. The dedicated server is a free download on Steam. NodeMesh fetches it for you anonymously, so no Steam login is stored on your PC. Your friends still need the game to play.
Not yet. The Arma Reforger server in NodeMesh needs a Linux host, as the requirements above show.
On the Config tab, add each Workshop mod by its ID. The server downloads them itself on the next start.
Yes. The Config tab has the scenario, the player limit, the password, BattlEye and crossplay, and writes the server's own config file.
Yes, for one host. Running game servers on your own PC is free with no time limit — up to 5 servers, traffic relay included. You only pay, in credits, if you add more hosts.
