Enshrouded server hosting

Enshrouded server hosting with CFTools Architect runs the dedicated server on a machine you control. The flame, the bases, and the explored fog live in that world save. Architect installs the server, applies Keen Games updates, stores backups, restarts, recovers from crashes, and can wipe when the group wants a new world. Mod management is not an Enshrouded feature in Architect. CFTools Cloud does not administer Enshrouded.

Runs on a Windows or Linux machine you control.

Hosting highlights

Dedicated world, not a listen host

Deploy Enshrouded to a Windows or Linux machine that stays powered on. Friends join that server when the original host is asleep. Architect does not rent the world.

Backups of the explored world

Schedule backups so a crash does not roll the group back to an empty flame. The copy sits with the server Architect is already managing.

Updates for a young dedicated server

Enshrouded dedicated-server builds are still moving. Architect can update the server and start it again without a manual download each patch.

Server configuration in Manager

Edit Enshrouded server configuration from the Architect manager. The settings for the world stay on the server record instead of a file only one person can find.

Restarts and a new world

Restart on a schedule so the dedicated process stays healthy. Automatic wipes are supported when everyone agrees to start a new Enshrouded world.

Metrics as the base spreads

Hardware metrics show whether the VPS still fits the world after more players build. Crash recovery restarts Enshrouded if the process exits overnight.

How to self-host Enshrouded

Install Architect Agent on an always-on machine, deploy Enshrouded, open the game port, and enable backups before the first long session. Webhooks can tell you the server stopped. RBAC lets a second player restart it without the VPS password.

Enshrouded caveats

Mod management is not part of this title in Architect. CFTools Cloud has no Enshrouded RCon admin tool. Early dedicated-server games change their update requirements. Keep a backup from before each update so a new build can be rolled back to a world that still loads.

Wipes start over on purpose

Automatic wipe support is for a new world, not for recovering a crash. Recovery is the backup. Use the wipe only when the group wants to reset the flame and the map.

What you need to host Enshrouded

The dedicated server has to stay online. Architect keeps it updated and backed up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I self-host an Enshrouded server?

Install CFTools Architect on a machine you control and deploy Enshrouded. Updates, configuration, backups, restarts, and wipes run on that host.

Does CFTools rent Enshrouded slots?

No. You provide the computer. Architect installs and maintains the dedicated server on your VPS or PC.

Are Enshrouded world backups supported?

Yes. Backup automation is part of Architect. Use it before updates, because dedicated-server builds can change what an old world expects.

Can I wipe Enshrouded and start again?

Yes. Automatic wipe cycles are supported when the group wants a new world. Back up first if the old world should remain recoverable.

Does Architect manage Enshrouded mods?

Mod management is not enabled for Enshrouded. Hosting covers the dedicated server, updates, config, backups, and wipes.

Is there an Enshrouded tool in CFTools Cloud?

No. CFTools Cloud is not available for Enshrouded. This page is Architect hosting only.

Can friends play while I am offline?

Yes, if the dedicated server is on a machine that stays on, such as a VPS. Architect runs there. It does not need your gaming PC to stay logged in.

Can I host Enshrouded on Linux?

Yes. Architect supports Windows and Linux for the host that runs the Enshrouded dedicated server.
