Where they live on Flux
The server image writes the config file from your settings every time the server starts, so there is no file to edit by hand: change a setting in Deployment Settings (or the list in the Mods tab) and the server comes back with it. That also means a setting can never be lost to a stray edit.
Saving progress
Persistence is on: the server saves the session every ten minutes and when it stops, and loads the latest save when it starts. Captured bases and supplies in Conflict survive a restart, an update or a move to another node.
Admin access
Type #login followed by the admin password in chat to become admin for the session, or list your identity ID under Admins to be admin every time. The identity ID is shown beside each player in the dashboard's RCON tab.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Arma Reforger server config file?
Wherever the server's -config argument points. On Flux it is generated from your Deployment Settings on every start, so you change the settings there rather than in a file.
How do I change the scenario?
Pick it in Deployment Settings (Scenario) and save; the server restarts on it. A scenario that comes with a mod is chosen in the Mods tab, beside the mod.
How do I become admin on my Arma Reforger server?
Type #login and your admin password in chat, or add your identity ID to the Admins list.
