Connect your server

Pair with a code

When you add a server, Hydra Hub shows a pairing code. You can make a new one at any time in Servers › your server › Connect.

Run it in your server console (txAdmin's Live Console works) within an hour:

cfg

hydra_pair XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

The server shows as online on the hub a moment later. If the code has run out, the same window gives you a new one.

The pairing is stored on your server, so you only do this once. Moving the server to another machine? Pair it again with a new code.

Run this in the server console:

cfg

hydra_hubtest

It tells you whether your server can reach Hydra Hub and whether the hub accepts it. The server console also shows Hydra's mode when it starts:

text

[HydraAC] Mode: SHADOW
