Where can I find my Skyrim Together server settings?

In C:\ZapX-GameServers\skyrim-together-reborn\server\config\STServer.ini. The join and admin passwords are also stored there in plain text.

Which port does a Skyrim Together Reborn server need?

Port 10578 (UDP) by default. The installer opens it in the Windows Firewall and, when installed through the dashboard, in your VPS's Network Firewall as well.

Introduction

Run a Skyrim Together Reborn server on your own VPS at ZapX. You have full control over the system, and with the Game Server Installer, your server is set up in just a few minutes—no Remote Desktop connection required. This guide covers what you need, how installation works, and how to manage your Skyrim Together server afterward.

Skyrim Together Reborn: Set Up a Server on Your VPS

Requirements

Requirement	Skyrim Together Reborn
Operating system	Windows Server 2019 or later
Memory	at least 2 GB
Free disk space	at least 2 GB on drive C:

Info

Skyrim Together Reborn is only available for Windows in the Game Server Installer. If your VPS runs Linux, install a Windows Server template via Settings > Reinstallation. This deletes all data on the VPS. Learn more in Server Reinstallation.

Install Skyrim Together Reborn

Open your VPS in the ZapX dashboard and go to the Tools tab. Select the Game Server Installer.
Under Your server's operating system, select the Windows tile.
Under Choose game, search for Skyrim Together Reborn and select it.
Under Set up server, set the Server name and Player slots. The mod developers do not recommend more than 8 players. You can find the Game port under Advanced settings.
Click Install on this VPS, then click Start installation.

The installer downloads Skyrim Together Reborn mod version 1.8.3 from the official GitHub repository, sets up the server, and starts it. You do not need Skyrim itself on the server. For details on the installation process, see the Game Server Installer guide.

Important

The server runs Skyrim Together Reborn 1.8.3. Your players need Skyrim Special Edition (Steam) with the Skyrim Together Reborn mod in exactly the same version.

Info

The server does not save a world; save files remain on your players' PCs. Nothing is lost when you stop the server. Your server is also not publicly listed, so players connect directly using its IP address and port.

You can also install Skyrim Together Reborn yourself using a command: copy the command shown in the final step, connect via Remote Desktop, and run it in Windows PowerShell as an administrator.

After installation

When installation is complete, the installer shows your server address under How to connect. The admin password generated by the installer is shown once under Login credentials. When you install through the dashboard, the installer does not set a join password. Find out how to connect and get admin rights using the admin password in Skyrim Together Reborn: Connect to the Server.

Your server files are on the VPS at C:\ZapX-GameServers\skyrim-together-reborn\:

Folder/file	Contents
`server\`	Skyrim Together Reborn server files
`server\config\STServer.ini`	Server settings and passwords
`server\Data\`	Mod list for mod checks (`loadorder.txt`)
`server\resources\`	Server script resources
`logs\server.log`	Server output

Start, stop, and restart the server

Your Skyrim Together server starts automatically when the VPS boots and restarts after a crash. To manage it, connect via Remote Desktop and use the shortcuts on the desktop:

Skyrim Together Reborn (skyrim-together-reborn) - Start
Skyrim Together Reborn (skyrim-together-reborn) - Stop
Skyrim Together Reborn (skyrim-together-reborn) - Restart

Configuration

Skyrim Together Reborn settings are in the [GameServer] section of server\config\STServer.ini. Stop the server before editing the file, then start it again afterward.

Setting	Description
`sServerName`	Server name
`uMaxPlayerCount`	Player slots
`uPort`	Game port
`sPassword`	Join password
`sAdminPassword`	Admin password
`bAnnounceServer`	List publicly; defaults to `false`

The installer overwrites the server name, player slots, port, and passwords every time it runs, including when updating. So change these values through the installer: select Skyrim Together Reborn again, adjust the settings, and click Update. You can enter a join password when installing with a command; the script will prompt you for it without displaying it.

Mod checks are disabled. To use them, add a loadorder.txt file to the server\Data\ folder.

Warning

Passwords are stored in plain text in STServer.ini and therefore also in every backup. Do not share your backups.

Update the server

Updates are not installed automatically. To update, open the Game Server Installer again and select Skyrim Together Reborn. The installer detects the existing installation and displays Update. Alternatively, use the Skyrim Together Reborn (skyrim-together-reborn) - Update shortcut on the VPS. STServer.ini is preserved. The installer is fixed to mod version 1.8.3.

Ports and firewall

Port	Protocol	Use
10578	UDP	Game

The installer opens these ports in the Windows Firewall. If you start the installation from the dashboard, it also opens them in your VPS's Network Firewall. If you installed using a command, check the ports there yourself. Skyrim Together Reborn only needs this one port.

Backups

Use the Skyrim Together Reborn (skyrim-together-reborn) - Backup shortcut to back up STServer.ini, the mod list in the Data folder, and the script resources as a ZIP file at C:\ZapX-GameServers\_backups\skyrim-together-reborn\. Use Skyrim Together Reborn (skyrim-together-reborn) - Restore to restore a backup.

Your entire VPS is also backed up automatically every day. With an active ZapX Pass, you can restore these backups yourself and create your own. Find out more in Daily Backups, Restores, and Locked Actions.
