🧭 You are here : Wiki home / Additional Setup / Replace the game server managed in CRCON

---

1. Enter a SSH session on your VPS

See this guide to get into a SSH terminal prompt.

[!NOTE] We'll assume you have installed CRCON in its default /root/hll_rcon_tool folder, following the installation guide.
Adapt the commands given below if necessary.

2. Edit your .env file

nano /root/hll_rcon_tool/.env

validate by pressing the [enter] key

[!NOTE] If you get some message about "nano isn't installed", use these commands to install it
(these are for a Debian-based Linux distribution, like Ubuntu.
Search for their equivalents if you're using another Linux flavor) :

apt-get update  
apt-get install nano  

Navigate through the file with the "arrow" keys. You're searching for this part :

########################################
###           SERVER 1               ###
########################################

Change the three parameters you'll find under it so they match your "new" game server's infos :

• HLL_HOST= is the game server RCON IP (should be the same as the game server IP)
• HLL_PORT= is the game server RCON port
  :warning: It is NOT the same as the game server (query) or SFTP ports.
• HLL_PASSWORD= is the game server RCON password.

Double check your entered values and make sure there is no spaces before/after the = sign.

To save the changes : press [Ctrl] + o
do NOT change the file name, just press the [Enter]key to confirm
press [Ctrl] + x to exit the text editor

3. Restart CRCON

cd /root/hll_rcon_tool
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
