The OpenWoW server launcher: realm infrastructure status lights for MySQL, realmd, mangosd, the web backend and the public HTTPS listener; HTTPS gateway and invite-link controls; realm master controls; quick actions; and integrated logs with a command line.
The desktop launcher — every service, setting and log in one window.

    Per-service log tabs for realmd, mangosd, DB and HTTP, plus a built-in command line.

Share it

  • Public HTTPS gateway

    A Caddy reverse proxy puts your realm on HTTPS with automatic certificates.

    Copy your public server address and send it straight to friends.

  • Firewall & port helper

    Open the web ports your realm needs with one button.

Manage it
