Overview

Unvanquished is the dedicated server for Unvanquished, a fast paced free and open source game that fuses first person shooter combat with real time strategy base building between an alien and a human team. It runs the authoritative game world that players join from the separate Unvanquished client, hosting a map, managing connected players and exposing a remote console for administration. It is headless: administered from the command line, with players connecting over the game port.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships the Unvanquished dedicated server hardened and fully patched, with a unique remote console admin password generated on first boot so no two machines share a secret and nothing is baked into the image, only the game port exposed and no unauthenticated admin surface, the server running as an unprivileged user under systemd, and a paired step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build. 24/7 cloudimg support is included with every image.
