HyRCON Mod

This mod runs a TCP server that listens for commands from external HyRCON clients to run in the server console, allowing easier commands in headless containerized deployments.

Configuration

When you first add the mod to your server and start it, a new directory will get created containing a config.yml.example if you rename this file to config.yml or copy it to the new name, and change the options to fit your needs it will use the config file over environment variables.

This plugin can also read configuration elements directly from the process environment variables for use in things like docker, you can configure this mod with the following variables at server startup.

• HYRCON_ENABLED / RCON_ENABLED: Enables or disables the HyRCON server. Defaults to true.
• HYRCON_BIND / RCON_BIND: Optional combined bind address in host:port (or [ipv6]:port) form. Defaults to 0.0.0.0:25575.
• HYRCON_HOST / RCON_HOST: Host fallback when no bind address is set. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
• HYRCON_PORT / RCON_PORT: Port fallback when no bind address is set. Defaults to 25575.
• HYRCON_PROTOCOL / RCON_PROTOCOL: Chooses the remote console protocol to expose. Use hyrcon for the legacy line-based protocol or source for Source-compatible RCON. Defaults to source.
• HYRCON_PASSWORD / RCON_PASSWORD: Password required for client authentication. Defaults to changeme.

Connecting to the HyRCON Server

I created a simple Rust client that can be used to connect to the HyRCON server, which you can download from here, but any tools that can connect to a Source-compatible RCON server should work, if you come across any issues please open an issue on the GitHub repository.

Running your server in Docker

If you're looking for an easy way to run your server in Docker, I also created a container image that handles OAuth and automatic mod downloads which includes this mod for its in-built RCON capabilities, you can find that over at dustinrouillard/hytale-docker
