When you login you will be displayed the dashboard page. This page will show you a summary of all the Server instances you have setup.
Satisfactory Server Manager is designed to be installed as a self hosted server application. It uses Docker to run Satisfactory's Dedicated Servers as a custom Docker Container.
These Docker Containers are referred to as SSM Agents or Server Instances, this is where Save Games are stored, Game Backups and Mods are stored.
When SSM creates a new Server instance it stores the data on a mount point on the main Server you installed SSM. The mount point is /SSMAgents
A Server instance is Docker Container, the docker image is stored on the Docker Hub located here: Docker Image.
Note: We recommend only creating 4 Server Instances per server.
Adding a server instance can be done by going to the Servers page and clicking the Create Server button.
A popup will display asking for the server name and the servers port number. The name can be anything you like and will not be displayed in game. The server port number must be greater than 15776 and by default is 15777.
When you have entered the fields click on the Add Server button, a notification will show once the server has been created.
On the Server List table you should now see the newly created server.
Go to the Servers page on the navigation bar on the left.
On the Server List table click on the cog button on the table next to the server you want to configure.
