Configuration

The easiest way to get a server running is to simply download akashi, and run the executable. That's it!

However, it is a good idea to change a few of the configuration options by default. The main settings for the server can be changed by editing config.ini in the config folder. The following options should, in general, always be changed before you run your server.

• server_name
  • This is the name that will appear on the master server list when people start up AO. Ensure this is unique and easy to identify, because this is how people will find your server
• server_description
  • This shows up on the master server list once someone selects your server. It's a good idea to tell people about your server here, and maybe provide a link to your discord server or server files if you have them.
• modpass
  • This is the password people will use to gain access to moderator commands. If you don't change this, anyone will be able to kick and ban people from your server!

Once you have edited config.ini and saved your settings, simply run akashi. If you are running akashi from your home computer, you may need to configure port forwarding. This is too broad of a topic to cover here, but simply googling "how to port forward" may help you.
