What people are saying
This is a really nice app to have when i'm going to run a server for me and my friends, but i wish it could turn on and off the server when someone connects or leaves. Overall it is really nice.
- NaviCoreBotHello! Thanks for the review, to answer your question: You can check out the "Automations page" to make a scheduled command for whenever someone leaves or joins the server. Let us know if it isn't working by contacting [email protected]
Good app, would recommend but maybe not for big home labs. for easy server management then yes this is for that.
- phalanxPretty alright, i like the UI and stuff and the conduit connections is what's really going for this app. I like how you can connect to your server from anywhere, the limits is okay for Free but it still on the lower end.
