CRCON gives your Hell Let Loose server a full web admin UI: live game view, player management, bans, VIPs, automod, Discord webhooks, and a public scoreboard. This template runs it on Railway: no VPS, no Docker, no config files. All you need is your game server’s
  • IP address
  • RCON port
  • RCON password
Simply click the “Deploy on Railway” button below, and follow the steps. Deploy on Railway

Four steps

1

Fill in the three values and hit Deploy

The button above opens Railway. Only the backend service asks for anything: your game server’s IP, RCON port, and RCON password. Then click Deploy.

The only three values the template asks for

The RCON port is its own port, not the game or query port. Wrong port or password is the number one reason for an empty dashboard.

Wait for the services to come online

Railway builds and starts all seven services. This normally takes around 30 seconds; if one sits in “Queued” for a while, that’s Railway’s build queue and it sorts itself out. The backend logging Waiting for database migrations is normal too; it starts by itself once the database is ready.

Find your two web addresses

Click the frontend service, open Settings, and scroll to Networking. Your deployment has two addresses, made for you automatically:
  • The Port 80 address is your admin UI: this is where you log in and manage your server.
  • The Port 81 address is your public scoreboard: share this one with your community.
