How to Set Up CSMM on Your 7 Days to Die Server
CSMM is a free web dashboard for 7 Days to Die server admin. AleForge does not host it — you connect your server to csmm.7d2d.net yourself.
You need telnet enabled, Alloc’s Server Fixes, and a CSMM account.
Enable telnet
Section titled “Enable telnet”- Stop the server
- On
Startup, setTelnet Password - Restart the server
See Enable telnet for port details.
Install Alloc’s Server Fixes
Section titled “Install Alloc’s Server Fixes”CSMM needs Alloc’s for player data and the live map.
- Download the build that matches your game version from the Alloc’s Server Fixes site
- Stop the server
- Open
File Manager - Extract the archive so folders land under
Mods/:Mods/Allocs_CommandExtensions/Mods/Allocs_CommonFunc/Mods/Allocs_WebAndMapRendering/
- Start the server and check
Consolefor Alloc’s load messages
Same upload flow as Install mods.
Enable the web dashboard
Section titled “Enable the web dashboard”- Stop the server
- Open
File Manager→serverconfig.xml - Set
WebDashboardEnabledtotrueandEnableMapRenderingtotrue - Save and start the server
Create a web token
Section titled “Create a web token”- With the server running, open panel
Console - Add a token — use your own name and password. The password must be at least 10 characters. The
0at the end is required:
webtokens add MyTokenName MySecureTokenPass 0Check existing tokens with webtokens list.
Find your web API port
Section titled “Find your web API port”The port in serverconfig.xml is not always correct on game hosts. Check Console after startup for:
Started Webserver on 8090.Use that port in CSMM. You can also open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:PORT/legacymap — if Alloc’s map loads, the port is right.
Server IP is on Dashboard (no port). Telnet port is on Startup.
Add the server in CSMM
Section titled “Add the server in CSMM”- Log in at csmm.7d2d.net
- Click Add Server
- Fill in:
| CSMM field | AleForge value |
|---|---|
| Name | Your choice |
| Server IP | Dashboard IP/hostname — no port |
| Web API port | From Started Webserver on … in Console |
| Authorization name | Token name from webtokens add |
| Authorization token | Token password from webtokens add |
- Save
Some CSMM forms also ask for telnet IP, port, and password — use Dashboard IP, Telnet Port from Startup, and Telnet Password from Startup.
Official docs: CSMM quick start.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- CSMM cannot connect → Check
Telnet PasswordonStartupand that Alloc’s loaded inConsole. - No map / player data → All three Alloc’s folders must be under
Mods/.WebDashboardEnabledmust betrue. - Invalid token → Run
webtokens list, create a new token withwebtokens add … 0, update CSMM. - Wrong web API port → Use the
Started Webserver on …line fromConsole, not a default guess. See Additional ports if needed.
