Hey @everyone
Alloc has released a new version of the server fixes mod which includes SSE now!
If you missed it before, SSE is a new way for CSMM to talk to your game servers. It is significantly faster than the old method! After installing the latest version of Allocs fixes, you can enable SSE for your server on the CSMM settings page, under 'experiments'

Quick follow up on that last announcement,
if you are on the AU instance and CSMM has stopped working for you, you can go into your server settings and toggle CSMM features off and back on. That should resolve the issue

Hey everyone, some maintenance coming up for the AU instance
EDIT: Finished :)

Hey everyone
SSE is now available as an 'experiment' in all CSMM instances hosted by me (self hosters can update from git ofc :)). You can find and enable it at the bottom of your server settings page
**Keep in mind that it is still very beta right now. **
SSE is a new way for CSMM to connect to your server. With the old method, CSMM could only check for new events every few seconds. By default that's 3 seconds, so in the worst case it can take up to 3 seconds for CSMM to even begin processing something!
With this new method, the server can send a message to CSMM to immediately start processing.

SSE requires an unofficial patch to Allocs fixes for now. You must install this file in

Hey all
Doing the US migration now, expect a little downtime
EDIT: transferred all data and instance is back up. Adding monitoring and aux services now
All done now :)

Hey everyone, some server maintenance coming up today.
I will be moving the public instances to new infrastructure. This means I will move US, EU and AU instances to new machines. I expect a few minutes downtime for each instance but no more than that.
I'll edit this post with updates
EDIT: starting deploy of new AU server
Deployed, transferring DB data to new deploy
Done, AU instance is fully migrated now.

US is going to take a while, the host takes ages to deploy new servers <.< Likely the US server will be migrated tomorrow

Hey all
I've setup a new testing branch of CSMM. This branch will be used as a place to test new features before they go live on real instances.
All help testing new stuff is very much appreciated!
Donators can access the instance via https://staging.csmm.app/
For self hosters, there's a new Docker tag "development" and a Git branch with the same name.
Please keep in mind that this is potentially unstable code. It might have bugs or other unexpected behavior, I recommend not adding production 7d2d servers to it and instead use a test 7d2d server

A big refactor happened with the code for custom functions (
I've also added a new function to send messages to Discord. Some people used a trick with

Hello everyone
We've added 2 new pages to the docs which talk about advanced usage of the custom commands system. They use the new Handlebars syntax extensively so if you were unsure how to use this, these examples should help you.

Notification when players are dropmining (Thank you @User 44583928 for creating this hook!)

Big thanks to @User 32089533 for writing these guides!

Hey everyone,
My US server host has just notified me they're having a network issue. The US instance is unreachable for now. They're working on a fix as we speak

After the downtime from earlier, I'm afraid I'll need to restart some services on the private instances. Should be back very quickly if all goes well!
EDIT: Should be good again now :)

CSMM v1.23.0 released
Big update today, we are releasing an extension to the custom commands syntax. Even though I call it "custom commands syntax", this is active in a lot of places in CSMM: hooks, gimme, banned items punishments, voting reward, ...
In short: the new update allows for a TON more customization when creating commands. You can use loops, conditional statements, logical operators and a whole lot more!
The new system will unlock a lot of crazy things, I can't wait to see what everyone will come up with. If you need some help figuring out the syntax, don't hesitate to ask in the CSMM support channel.
For more info, check the docs: https://docs.csmm.app/en/CSMM/advanced-handlebars.html

Hey everyone,

EDIT: I think the babysitter has gotten the kid to behave now :)

CSMM v1.22.0 released
Highlight of this update is a rework of the custom Discord notifications. You can now use regex to match log lines, allowing you much more precision in what gets matched. You can also set a custom message for your notifications now, with variables!
See https://docs.csmm.app/en/CSMM/custom-notifications.html for more info

Hi everyone, small announcement. The old Ticket bot has stopped, so I added @User 55762835 as a replacement. You can create a new ticket in #tickets

Update on the AU situation, I haven't heard anything from the host for a while and no improvements were happening to the situation.
I've set up a new temporary server until the actual instance comes back. I've restored a backup from about 3 hours before the AU instance went down. Data between that and now was not saved.
This temp server is located in EU (with my regular server host 😄 ) so you might see some increased latency when accessing the website.
Sorry for any inconceniences!
User bddf69
The AU server is down atm, something is wrong at the host level. People are looking into it but we have to wait for people on site to resolve the issue

US instance is having issues, investigating

Hello @everyone
This is a hard announcement to make. For years now CSMM has been hosted for free. However, CSMM has grown so much that this is no longer maintainable. You may have noticed over the past few months that there have not been many new features added to CSMM. This is because practically all of my dev time is taken up with putting out fires and making performance improvements.
However, please do not fear. CSMM is still (and always will be) free to use, but usage of my servers will be a perk reserved for donators. Installing CSMM on your own hardware has never been easier. We have extended the installation documentation (https://docs.csmm.app/en/CSMM/self-host/installation.html) to include a Docker installation option and a one-click deployment on Digital Ocean. Running CSMM on your own server has several benefits, notably that performance will skyrocket, you will be able to use location and inventory tracking (currently a donator-only perk) and you will have much more control over and insight into the system.
If you start hosting CSMM on your own server and would like to import data, please create a ticket and I will give you a JSON export that you can import into your private instance.
Concisely, here's what is changing:
- All the public instances (EU, US and AU) are becoming donator-only starting tomorrow.
- At the beginning of February, all free servers will be removed from these instances.
- CSMM is still (and always will be) open-source and free for anyone to use without limitations.
- We will continue to provide support for self-hosted CSMM installs. Support for general Linux issues will be best-effort as it is an open-source project with limited resources. We appreciate any and all help the community can provide for this.

The AU instance is down right now. From what I can tell, it looks like a network issue on the host. I cannot connect to the server at all, so will have to wait for a response from the host :(
EDIT: Looks like this might take a while to resolve, outage at the datacentre. Will update as I learn more
aaaaand we're back :)

Found an issue with event doubling (double cmds, chatbridge messages, ...)) for instances that have a custom log interval set. Will deploy a fix ASAP. In the meantime, i've disabled the custom interval on the donors instance

Some maintenance on EU instance coming up
Done, still monitoring but should be good now :)

Hey @everyone
Today we are releasing a new method of self-hosting CSMM. It's a one-click installation method to deploy to DigitalOcean. This will start a new server and install CSMM with all its dependencies and webserver automatically for you.
Please note that this is an early release! We welcome any bug reports or improvements you can think of.
The image has been tested to deploy successfully on a 1GB RAM droplet, but may become overloaded quickly. We recommend a 2GB RAM droplet for stability.

Upgrade is happening now it seems
User bddf69
US server is getting upgraded today. This will mean some (hopefully minor) downtime.
I'm not sure when exactly, waiting for the hosting company to start the process

I have just pushed an update to all instances that changes how Discord notifications and the banned items module are executed. This should make performance smoother and improve reliability.
I'm monitoring the results but if you notice anything weird with either of these features please give me a shout 😄
No new version for this yet but if you are self hosting and really want the bleeding edge, it's on the master branch
