What WindowsGSH does
Everything a server owner needs in one place.
WindowsGSH is built for admins who currently bounce between SteamCMD, scripts, firewall panels, log folders, and server config files.
Guided Installs & Updates
Install and update servers using SteamCMD, standalone tools, Java workflows, or module-defined installers without writing scripts.
Live Console & Logs
Watch live output, search recent logs, pause scrolling, copy visible text, and troubleshoot without digging through folders.
Server Health Checks
Track process state, CPU, memory, uptime, query response, and crash history so you know what is actually running.
Ports & Firewall Help
Show game, query, peer, web, and RCON ports alongside Windows Firewall checks, so connection problems are easier to spot.
Windows-Native Security
Protect server secrets with Windows user encryption and avoid storing passwords in plaintext config files where possible.
Discord Bot & Webhooks
Publish status panels, send webhook alerts, show logs, and let trusted admins use Discord commands when you choose to enable them.
Preview screens
See the current WindowsGSH application.
Manage servers, consoles, modules, networking, diagnostics, and optional Discord integration from one Windows desktop app.

Workflow
From blank machine to managed server.
-
Install WindowsGSH
Download the preview build when it is available. WindowsGSH is packaged as a self-contained Windows app, so you should not need a separate .NET install.
-
Add or import a server
Choose a module, install a new dedicated server, or import an existing server folder when a matching WindowsGSH module is available.
-
Handle everyday server maintenance
Start, stop, restart, update, inspect logs, check ports, review health, and gather diagnostics from one Windows-focused interface.
Module system
Discover, review, and import server modules.
Modules add game-specific installation, startup, update, query, and configuration behaviour without requiring a new WindowsGSH build.
- Search official and community repositories by module name
- Review the repository, author, licence, branch, stars, and recent activity
- Validate folders and ZIP packages before importing module files
- See clear trust warnings before running user-provided module code
- Import deliberately—WindowsGSH never silently installs module updates
Discord integration
Keep an eye on servers from Discord.
WindowsGSH can run an optional local Discord bot while the desktop app is open. It can post status panels, send webhook alerts, and answer admin-gated commands without exposing control to everyone in the server.
Status panels
Post a dashboard panel and per-server status panels that WindowsGSH updates in place while the app is running.
Webhook alerts
Send start, stop, restart, update, backup, crash, and public-IP change alerts to a global webhook or server-specific webhook.
Admin-gated commands
Use Discord commands for status, server lists, stats, logs, and permission checks. Remote control commands are experimental and disabled by default.
Discord remote control is off by default. If enabled, destructive commands such as start, stop, restart, update, backup, RCON send, and stop-all require configured Discord admin IDs.
