Reforger Captain

Web-based admin panel for managing Arma Reforger dedicated servers. Change scenarios, install mods, and send RCON commands from a single page.

Features

• Server Management — Change scenario, add/remove mods, save & restart
• RCON Console — Send commands directly to the server (say, kick, ban, shutdown, restart)
• Quick Actions — One-click buttons for common RCON commands
• Admin Setup — First-launch setup page to create admin credentials
• Authelia Support — Works behind Authelia reverse proxy (trusts Remote-User header)
• Docker-native — Runs in its own container, manages the game server via Docker socket

Requirements

• Docker with Compose
• An Arma Reforger dedicated server running in Docker (e.g., acemod/arma-reforger)

Quick Start

1. Create a directory for your config:

   mkdir reforger-captain && cd reforger-captain

2. Create your .env file:

   cat > .env << 'EOF'
   SERVER_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/your/server.json
   RCON_PASSWORD=your_rcon_password
   EOF

3. Download the compose file:

   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/katzzero/reforger-captain/main/docker-compose.yml
   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/katzzero/reforger-captain/main/admin-config.json

4. Start:

   docker compose up -d

5. Open http://your-server:8080 and log in with your RCON password.

Build from source

If you prefer to build locally instead of pulling the image:

git clone https://github.com/katzzero/reforger-captain.git
cd reforger-captain

Edit docker-compose.yml and replace image: with build: .:

services:
  reforger-admin:
    build: .

Then run docker compose up -d.

Configuration

admin-config.json

Predefined scenarios and mods shown in the UI. Edit this file to add your own:

{
  "scenarios": [
    {"name": "23 Campaign", "scenarioId": "{ECC61978EDCC2B5A}Missions/23_Campaign.conf"}
  ],
  "mods": [
    {"name": "RHS: Status Quo", "modId": "2824703552"}
  ]
}

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
SERVER_CONFIG_PATH	required	Path to your Arma Reforger server.json
RCON_PASSWORD	required	RCON password (must match server.json)
RCON_HOST	host.docker.internal	RCON server address
RCON_PORT	29999	RCON server port
SERVER_CONTAINER	arma-reforger	Docker container name of the game server

Networking

The admin panel communicates with the Arma server through:

• Config file — Mounted volume to read/write server.json
• Docker socket — To restart the game server container
• RCON — TCP connection via host.docker.internal to send commands

Security Notes

• The admin page should not be exposed to the internet
• For production use, place behind a reverse proxy with TLS
• The Docker socket mount gives full Docker access — keep the admin panel trusted
