Your server settings

Prepare your map pool and match access.

The CS2 profile includes starting maps, map groups, bot settings and spectator relay options.

  1. Pick the starting map

    Choose from the maps exposed by the profile, including Dust II, Mirage, Inferno and Nuke. Set the map group used for rotation.

  2. Configure practice bots

    Set the bot quota and choose Easy, Normal, Hard or Expert difficulty. Enable the CSTV / GOTV spectator relay when your setup needs it.

  3. Set public or private access

    Provide a Game Server Login Token for public listing. For a private server, set a join password. The separate LAN mode setting limits joining to LAN clients.

Once it is running

Look after the game server from NodePanel.

The game server’s page has its controls, its live usage and the address your players connect to.

Start, stop, restart and update
Each one is a single button. Updating the game or saving new settings restarts it, so pick a time when nobody is playing.
Live CPU and memory
See the game’s CPU use, its memory use against the limit you set, and its uptime. Use them to decide whether the game needs more memory.
Address, ports and files
The Connection card shows the address and ports your players use, and tells you if your hosting provider’s firewall is blocking them. The file manager opens the game’s files.

Try NodePanel

Try it on your own server for 7 days.

Connect your Linux server, pick a game and share the address with your players. You pay your hosting provider separately for the server.
