PlayDST is a platform for players to set up and manage dedicated game servers and discover communities around them.

Core building blocks

  • Community: the shared space for players, servers, and discussions
  • Server: a dedicated game server instance that players join
  • Node: the machine that runs one or more servers
  • Agent: the PlayDST service installed on a node to connect it to the platform
  • Roles: permissions that control who can host, moderate, and manage infrastructure

Basic use case

Follow a community, join a public server, and participate in discussions once you become a member.

Advanced use case

Operate a community with multiple nodes, delegate responsibilities with roles, and run several servers across regions.
