Bigfrost ServerPortal

Bigfrost_ServerPortal

> Bigfrost_ServerPortal is a lightweight mod and web portal designed to provide real-time server management, diagnostics, and remote configuration for Valheim dedicated servers.

About the Name: Bigfrost (Bifröst)

A homage to Bifröst—the mythical burning rainbow bridge connecting Midgard (the mortal realm) directly to Asgard (the realm of the gods). In this mod, Bigfrost serves as the management bridge connecting server administrators directly to their live Valheim dedicated server from any web browser.

Features

• Web Management Dashboard: Monitor player telemetry, server FPS, memory footprint, active ZDO counts, and world uptime in real time.
• Remote Server Administration: Execute server console commands, send server-wide announcements, and kick or ban players from any web browser.
• Lifecycle & Scheduled Restarts: Automate recurring daily restarts or trigger timed countdown restarts with automatic player alerts.
• BigAI Mod Integration: Dynamically configure connected BigAI mods (CharactersVault, Valgrind, DagrNott_CustomDayCycle, Skald_VikingKillFeed, and Njoror_FairWinds) from a single interface.
• Basic 3rd Party Mod Config: Can also edit configs for other mods in the server's /config folder.

Installation Type

• Location: Dedicated Server-only. The mod will automatically detect and refuse to run a web server if placed in a client's plugins directory.
• Access: Accessed remotely via standard web browsers.

2. Extract the downloaded .zip archive.

AI Disclosure

I made this mod using AI. Most of the code in this mod was AI generated. If you have an issue with this, I completely understand and urge you to not use this mod. This mod ("Bigfrost_ServerPortal") is meant as a lightweight mod for small servers that don't need all the bells and whistles of a more complex mod.
