HaruHostSelf-hosting
Host game servers on your own PC or home server
Your hardware, online with a few clicks. HaruHost installs servers for 43 games, gives friends a way in without port forwarding and keeps everything updated and running. Want it online around the clock without a machine at home? Run it on a VPS.
Create or import a server
Pick a game and HaruHost installs the dedicated server with a guided setup. Already have one? For 10 games, browse to its folder and HaruHost recognises and imports it.
- 43 games, 42 of them also on Linux
- Update with one click, or automatically when the game updates (paid plans)
- A server console, with live CPU, RAM and player graphs (paid plans)
Friends join without port forwarding Paid
The Tunnel gives your server a public address through one of 14 regions, even where port forwarding is impossible. 25 games support it.
- What players need to join, on each server's Details tab
- V Rising invite codes
- Router and firewall helpers for direct hosting on Windows
Runs itself Paid
Automations run on a schedule, after a crash, when HaruHost starts, when a player joins or leaves, or when a game update is released.
- Restart, update, save, back up, post to Discord, wait, and message players where the game supports it
- Run history shows what happened and when
Easy to look after
A Files page to upload and download server files in the browser, and backups with a keep count that restore in one step (paid plans).
- Unlimited backup profiles (paid plans)
- Player backups for Project Zomboid, Palworld and ARK: Survival Ascended (paid plans)
Manage from anywhere
The desktop app runs on Windows and Linux, with a background service for machines that stay on; on Linux it installs with one command. The web panel works on any device, including your phone.
- Several machines in one account (paid plans)
- Invite an admin with their own permissions (paid plans)
A community, not just a process
Keep a record of everyone who plays for 16 games, with playtime and sessions, and level-ups where the game has levels. Keep chat history for 6 games, and connect it all to Discord.

Self-hosting questions
What hardware do I need?
The hardware the game's own dedicated server needs. HaruHost itself is light. Many people use a spare PC, a home server or a VPS.
Can I import a server I already have?
For 10 games, yes: 7 Days to Die, ARK: Survival Ascended, ARK: Survival Evolved, Conan Exiles, Core Keeper, Enshrouded, Palworld, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Sons of the Forest and The Forest. Browse to the server's folder and HaruHost recognises it. For other games, create a server in HaruHost and copy your world into it with Files (paid plans).
Can I manage servers on several machines?
Yes, on paid plans. Each machine runs HaruHost, and all of them appear in one account, in the app and the web panel. S1, G1 and P1 include 3, 9 or 25 machines.
Does it work on Linux?
Yes. HaruHost runs on Linux as a background service with the web panel, or as a desktop app, and 42 of the 43 games run on Linux. Game servers run in Docker: on Ubuntu, the background service installs it for you; with the desktop app or on other distributions, install Docker Engine first. HaruHost's Linux build is for x86-64.
Your own game server host, one command away.
One command on an Ubuntu VPS, or an installer on Windows. One plan for every server you run, from €4.99 a month.
