Valheim Server Manager
Set up and manage your Valheim server on Windows with automatic configuration, shareable player lists, console access, and Thunderstore mod profiles.
Interactive, Powerful Server Management
A clean, modern experience with smart automation and visuals that show exactly how HaruHost GSM runs your Valheim server.
Server configuration UI
HaruHost replaces Valheim's text configuration files with an Auto Config view that groups network settings, server config, and player lists into clear cards you can click into.
- ✓ Configure ports, network bindings, and basic server identity from a single screen
- ✓ Edit core server options without touching config files or launch arguments
- ✓ Use Auto Config slots to experiment with different setups for your Valheim world
Admin list shareable UI
Manage Valheim admins from a dedicated UI instead of editing the admin list file by hand, and reuse that list across multiple servers.
- ✓ Add or remove player IDs with platform prefixes such as steam_... using a simple form
- ✓ Reuse the same admin list across multiple Valheim servers on your machine
- ✓ Avoid copy-paste mistakes by keeping one shared admin list in HaruHost
Banned list shareable UI
Keep your Valheim ban list tidy with a UI that makes it obvious who is blocked and where their access applies.
- ✓ See banned player IDs in a clear table instead of a raw text file
- ✓ Quickly add new bans or lift bans without hunting for config files
- ✓ Optionally reuse the same ban list on other Valheim servers you host
Permitted list
Use a permitted list to lock your Valheim server down to a curated set of player IDs so only known players can join.
- ✓ Maintain a whitelist of permitted player IDs without manual file edits
- ✓ Toggle between open and permitted-only access without rewriting config files
- ✓ Copy a permitted list to additional Valheim servers when you expand your cluster
Server console
Watch Valheim server output and send commands from an integrated console so you can troubleshoot and moderate without leaving HaruHost.
- ✓ Stream live logs from your Valheim dedicated server
- ✓ Send console commands and see responses inline
- ✓ Keep the console next to configuration and player lists for faster admin work
Server logs
Get a clear, per-server view of what your Valheim instance is doing, with live logs that make troubleshooting and moderation easier.
- ✓ Per-server logging focused on your Valheim world
- ✓ Real-time output so you can see events as they happen
- ✓ Filter and inspect entries when you are tracking down an issue
Windows firewall helper
Avoid guesswork and scripts when opening ports. HaruHost can generate the correct inbound firewall rules for your Valheim server.
- ✓ Guided helper that creates inbound rules for the right ports
- ✓ No manual PowerShell or Windows Firewall screens to click through
- ✓ Status and feedback so you know rules are in place
UPNP port forwarding
If your router supports UPNP, HaruHost can set up port mappings so friends can reach your Valheim server without manual router configuration.
- ✓ Automatic UPNP mappings for your Valheim server ports
- ✓ Detects whether your router supports UPNP and shows status
- ✓ Simple toggles so you can enable or disable mappings as needed
Discord webhooks
Keep your Valheim community in the loop with Discord notifications tied to server status and player activity.
- ✓ Free status webhook that reports when the server goes online or offline
- ✓ Premium webhooks that announce player joins and leaves with rich embeds
- ✓ Reusable templates you can share across multiple HaruHost game servers
Automated crash recovery
Let HaruHost watch your Valheim server for crashes and automatically restart it so your players are not left waiting.
- ✓ Detects when the server process has crashed or stopped unexpectedly
- ✓ Automatically restarts the Valheim server to reduce downtime
- ✓ Toggle crash recovery on or off per server as needed
Thunderstore mod manager
Use the built-in Thunderstore Mod Manager to keep your Valheim server, your local game, and your community on the same mod profile.
- ✓ Search thousands of Valheim mods on Thunderstore by name, author, or description
- ✓ Create mod profiles that you can reuse locally in your game client and across multiple Valheim servers
- ✓ Publish profiles so they are publicly accessible and automatically stay in sync when you update them
- ✓ Let other players import your public profiles so their setup tracks your changes and the whole community stays in sync
Mod profile launcher
Use the mod profile launcher to see all of your Thunderstore profiles in one list and launch Valheim with the correct profile selected.
- ✓ Browse your Valheim Thunderstore profiles alongside profiles for other games in a single launcher view
- ✓ Pick a Valheim profile and launch the game client so it starts with the right mods enabled
- ✓ See at a glance which profiles are linked to which HaruHost servers so your client and servers stay aligned
