Importing an Existing Server

Use the Cell importer to bring an existing game server into HivePanel without rebuilding it manually from scratch.

Before importing

Create a backup of the source server and identify the Comb that best matches its runtime and startup requirements.

During import

Place the server on a Node with enough storage for both the incoming data and normal runtime overhead. Keep the source server stopped while performing the final copy to avoid divergent data.

After importing

Review the startup command, variables, ports and permissions. Start the Cell and check its console before directing production traffic to it.
