Download the Ignite node

The node is the program that runs on your server machine: it installs and supervises your game servers, and has its own web page to run them from. It works on its own, or connected to the hosted portal so you can reach it from anywhere.

Getting started

  1. Unzip it into a folder of its own, such as C:\Ignite. Everything it makes stays in that folder.
  2. Run ignite.exe. Nothing else needs installing - .NET is inside it. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows may say it does not recognise the publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
  3. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080 on that machine. That page is the node.
  4. To run it from the portal too, choose Connect to portal on that page. It shows a short code; approve it in the portal while signed in, and the node is yours.
  5. Add a server with New. For Space Engineers under Torch, Ignite installs the dedicated server itself on the first start.

Keep the window open while your servers run - closing it stops them. If port 8080 is taken, start it with ignite.exe --port 8477; it remembers the port after that.
