Set up DDNS | Automatic DNS name (e.g., `hytale.your-tailnet.ts.net`) |\n| Manage via command line | Web dashboard in your browser |\n| FTP for mods | Map a network drive directly! |\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### 1. Download and Run\n\nDownload the latest release for your platform and run it:\n\n```\n./hyscale\n```\n\n### 2. Authenticate with Tailscale\n\nOn first run, you'll see an authentication URL:\n\n```\n====================================================\n  AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED\n====================================================\n  Visit this URL to authenticate:\n  https://login.tailscale.com/...\n====================================================\n```\n\nVisit the URL and sign in to connect hyscale to your Tailnet.\n\n### 3. Open Dashboard and Start Your Server\n\nOnce authenticated, hyscale prints your dashboard URL (something like `https://hytale.your-tailnet.ts.net`).\n\nFrom the dashboard:\n1. Click **Authenticate** and sign in with your Hytale account\n2. Click **Download Server** to fetch the server files\n3. Click **Start** - you're running!\n\n## Invite Friends\n\nGetting friends connected is simple:\n\n1. **They install Tailscale** - free for personal use at [tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com)\n\n2. **You share your node** - In the [Tailscale admin console](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/machines), click on your hyscale machine, then **Share** to email an invite or create an invite link\n\n3. **They join and connect** - Friends accept your invite and use your server's Tailscale DNS name (shown in your dashboard) to connect in-game\n\n### Allow Game Traffic\n\nAdd this rule to your [Tailscale ACL policy](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/file) so shared users can connect:\n\n**ACLs syntax:**\n```json\n{\n  \"action\": \"accept\",\n  \"src\": [\"autogroup:member\", \"autogroup:shared\"],\n  \"dst\": [\"tag:hytale:5520\"],\n  \"proto\": \"udp\"\n}\n```\n\n**Grants syntax:**\n```json\n{\n  \"src\": [\"autogroup:member\", \"autogroup:shared\"],\n  \"dst\": [\"tag:hytale\"],\n  \"ip\": [\"*:5520\"],\n  \"proto\": \"udp\"\n}\n```\n\nReplace `tag:hytale` with your node's actual tag or IP address.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Web Dashboard** - Manage everything from your browser, no terminal required\n- **Real-Time Console** - Full terminal emulator with xterm.js\n- **Config Editor** - Edit server settings with Monaco (the same editor as VS Code)\n- **One-Click Backups** - Back up your entire universe or individual worlds\n- **Mod Support** - Enable/disable mods through the UI, upload via WebDAV\n- **Auto Updates** - Keep your server up to date automatically\n- **Developer Mode** - JDWP debugging support for mod developers\n- **Private by Default** - Only devices on your Tailscale network can connect\n\n## Requirements\n\n- A computer to run the server (Windows, macOS, or Linux)\n- A Tailscale account (free for personal use)\n- A Hytale account (for downloading server files)\n\nThat's it. No Java installation needed - hyscale can download and configure it for you.\n\n## Advanced Configuration\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMod Development (JDWP Debugging)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nEnable developer mode in the dashboard settings to start the server with JDWP debugging enabled. Connect your IDE's remote debugger to the displayed port.\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Server (Federation)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nhyscale supports running multiple servers that can transfer players between them. Configure federation settings in your server's `config.json`.\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRunning with Docker\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n**Image:** `ghcr.io/tailscale/hyscale:latest`\n\nRun hyscale in a container:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name hyscale \\\n  -v ./config:/app/config \\\n  -v ./server:/app/server \\\n  -v ./tsstate:/app/tsstate \\\n  ghcr.io/tailscale/hyscale:latest\n```\n\n**Volume mounts:**\n\n| Mount | Purpose |\n|-------|---------|\n| `/app/config` | Configuration files (`hyscale.json`, credentials) |\n| `/app/server` | Server files, worlds, mods, backups |\n| `/app/tsstate` | Tailscale state (preserves node identity) |\n\n**Docker Compose:**\n\n```yaml\nservices:\n  hyscale:\n    image: ghcr.io/tailscale/hyscale:latest\n    volumes:\n      - ./config:/app/config\n      - ./server:/app/server\n      - ./tsstate:/app/tsstate\n    restart: unless-stopped\n```\n\n**First-run authentication:** Check logs for the Tailscale auth URL:\n\n```bash\ndocker logs hyscale\n```\n\n**Headless/automated setup:** Set `TS_AUTHKEY` for unattended setup:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name hyscale \\\n  -e TS_AUTHKEY=tskey-auth-xxx \\\n  -v ./config:/app/config \\\n  -v ./server:/app/server \\\n  -v ./tsstate:/app/tsstate \\\n  ghcr.io/tailscale/hyscale:latest\n```\n\nGenerate auth keys at https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**Friends can't connect?**\n- Verify they've joined your Tailnet via the share link\n- Check that your ACL policy allows UDP traffic on port 5520\n- Have them verify Tailscale is running (`tailscale status`)\n\n**Server won't start?**\n- Check the console output in the dashboard for error messages\n- Ensure you have enough disk space for server files\n- Verify the server files downloaded completely\n\n**Download fails?**\n- Re-authenticate with your Hytale account in the dashboard\n- Check your internet connection\n- Try the download again\n\n## License\n\nBSD-3-Clause License.
