dzo — DayZ server operator¶
dzo runs and maintains DayZ dedicated servers on a Debian host. It installs the server and workshop mods, prepares each server’s mission, runs every server as a rootless podman container managed by systemd, restarts servers gracefully, keeps mods up to date, takes btrfs snapshots before changes, and exports monitoring data. An optional web interface adds player management, moderation and a live admin map.
Note
dzo is under active development. These pages describe how dzo works and is meant to be used. Commands and options may still change before the first release.
