Enshrouded Server Manager

A Windows GUI application for managing an Enshrouded dedicated server.

Requirements

• Windows 10 / 11 / Server 2022 (64-bit)
• .NET 10 Desktop Runtime (x64)
  • Download: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0
  • Install the ".NET Desktop Runtime 10.x (x64)" package
• Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64)
  • Required by SteamCMD to download/update the server
  • Download: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
  • Already present on most Windows 10/11 desktops — commonly missing on Windows Server

Building from Source

dotnet build -c Release

Or publish a small framework-dependent exe:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --no-self-contained -o publish/

Features

• Start / Stop / Restart / Update the Enshrouded dedicated server
• Live CPU and memory monitoring
• Auto-backup on a configurable interval with automatic old-backup cleanup
• Auto-restart on a configurable schedule
• Full settings editor (server name, ports, passwords, game rules, difficulty, user groups, tags)
• Difficulty preset selector — grays out individual settings unless set to Custom
• Reset to Defaults button for gameplay settings
• Tooltips on every setting with descriptions and valid ranges
• Server log viewer
• Writes enshrouded_server.json automatically before each server start
• Check for Updates via GitHub releases
• About dialog

Folder Structure

On first launch the manager creates an EnshroudedServer\ folder next to the exe:

EnshroudedServerManager.exe
EnshroudedServer\
├── server_config.json      ← manager config (edit here or via Settings tab)
├── server\                 ← enshrouded_server.exe lives here after update
├── steamcmd\               ← SteamCMD downloaded here automatically
├── backups\                ← zip backups stored here
└── logs\                   ← manager log (server_manager.log)

Notes

• Run as Administrator for full process control.
• SteamCMD is downloaded automatically on first Update.
• On Windows Server, install the Visual C++ Redistributable before clicking Update. SteamCMD exits with code 8 if it is missing.
• User group passwords cannot be empty — the Enshrouded server exits immediately on startup if any group has a blank password. If you leave a password blank, the manager generates a random one when the server starts (visible in Settings → User Groups).
• The dedicated server takes no command-line arguments; all configuration is written to enshrouded_server.json before each start.
