Deploy and Host hll-crcon-cloud on Railway

hll-crcon-cloud packages CRCON, the community-built admin tool for Hell Let Loose game servers, as a one-click Railway template. You get the full web admin UI: live game view, player management, bans, VIPs, automod, Discord webhooks, and a public scoreboard site, without renting a VPS or touching Docker.

About Hosting hll-crcon-cloud

Upstream CRCON ships as a 7-container Docker Compose stack meant for a self-managed VPS. This template maps that stack onto seven Railway services: Postgres and Redis for state, the Django API backend, a supervisor running roughly 15 background workers (stats, automod, log ingestion), a maintenance service that runs database migrations, a Discord webhook worker, and an nginx frontend serving the admin UI and public scoreboard. Deploying takes three inputs: your game server's IP, RCON port, and RCON password. Everything else, including secrets, database credentials, private networking, TLS, and startup ordering, is wired up automatically. First boot takes around five minutes, then you log in and change the default admin password.

Common Use Cases

Hell Let Loose server admins who want the standard community admin tool without managing a VPS, Docker, or TLS certificates
Communities running a public scoreboard and stats site for their players alongside the private admin UI
Multi-server clans managing up to 10 game servers from one install with shared bans, VIPs, and player profiles

Dependencies for hll-crcon-cloud Hosting

A Hell Let Loose (or Hell Let Loose: Vietnam) game server from any provider, with its RCON host, port, and password
Nothing else: databases, networking, and TLS are provisioned by the template

Implementation Details

The stack runs the upstream CRCON images pinned to a tested release, so all upstream documentation applies. Only the backend service asks for input:

The backend waits for the maintenance service to finish database migrations before starting, replacing Compose's depends_on ordering, so a fresh deploy converges on its own with no manual steps. Docs, a multi-server runbook, and troubleshooting live at github.com/sledro/crcon.cloud.
