One-click installation

This method is by far the easiest of them all. It will automatically install, configure CSMM and all the services around it. It will even automatically setup a reverse proxy for you!

Via the Digital Ocean marketplace (opens new window), you can install CSMM in just a few clicks! If you do not already have a Digital Ocean account, you can use CSMMs referral link (opens new window) to get $100 credit for 60 days. Once you have signed up, click the first link to go straight to the one-click deployment.

TIP

The image has been tested to deploy successfully on a 1GB RAM droplet, but may become overloaded quickly. We recommend a 2GB RAM droplet for stability.

Once your image is deployed, you can SSH into the server. If you do not already have a preferred SSH application, you can download PuTTY here (opens new window)

ssh root@your_droplet_ip

You will be prompted for some configuration values. You can find more info on these values on the configuration guide

If at any point you encounter an error that crashes the installation guide, you can restart the server by entering reboot now at the prompt. Once the server restarts, the installation wizard will begin again.

If you do not already have a domain name you wish to use for CSMM, you can create one for free at Duck DNS (opens new window).

After this, CSMM should be running on the domain you specified! You can proceed to add your first 7 Days to Die server without any further configuration.
