Public Signups

Allow visitors to self-register for a Palace server. A verification email is sent via SMTP2GO before the server is provisioned. A Google reCAPTCHA can be added to prevent spam.

Enable public signups When disabled, the signup link is hidden and all /api/signup endpoints return 403.

Allowed Port Ranges Define which TCP ports new users may pick for their palace. At least one range is required. Examples: 9990–9999, 1022–3333. Ports already in use are excluded automatically.

Default Disk Quota (MB) Applied to every newly provisioned palace. 0 = unlimited.

Default Release Channel Which release channel newly signed-up palaces follow.

Require email verification before provisioning When enabled, a verification link is emailed (via SMTP2GO) and the palace is only provisioned once the user clicks it.

Verification Link Expiry (hours)

Base URL (optional) Used to build verification links. Leave blank to use the request Host header.

Host Passwords

Host-tier operator logins (U_Host) for pserver, read from /etc/passwd_palace. Matches the Go server’s passwd_palace format: bcrypt-only lines (anonymous) and username:hash lines (named). Plain passwords are never stored; only bcrypt hashes are written. Client login: for named accounts use username:password in the SuperUser / operator password prompt; for anonymous entries use the password alone.

Add or update named account

Clients authenticate with username:password. Saving replaces the hash for that username if it already exists.

Add anonymous host password

Another standalone password that grants Host without a username prefix.

Palace

Server Identity

Server Name The name shown to clients in the title bar and Palace Directory listing.

Max Occupancy — … Total concurrent users allowed on the server across all rooms.

Default Room Occupancy — … Per-room user cap applied to rooms that have not set their own limit (1–60).

Passwords

Leave a field blank to keep the current password. Type a new password and save — it is immediately converted into a one-way bcrypt hash before being stored, so the actual password is never saved anywhere and nobody (including your host provider) can ever read it back.

Wizard Password

God Password

Architect Password

Owner Password

Props

HTTP Upload Mode Controls which prop image formats the HTTP upload endpoint accepts. Mixed supports both classic Palace binary props and modern PNG/JPG/GIF/WebP images from PChat and Electron clients. Use PChat only to reject legacy binary uploads, or Legacy only to reject modern image formats.

Prop Purge Limit (days) Props not accessed in this many days are eligible for removal when Flush Old Props is run. Set to 0 to disable automatic purging.

Warn Threshold (uploads/min) Wizards receive a page alert when a single user exceeds this many prop uploads per minute. Default: 30.

Block Threshold (uploads/min) Further uploads from the user are rejected once they hit this rate. Should be higher than the warn threshold. Default: 60.

Block Duration (minutes) How long a blocked user's uploads are rejected before they are allowed to upload again. Default: 60 minutes.

Access Control

Painting Allowed Bots (Cyborg Scripts) Bot Kill Operator Kill Player Kill Spoofing Allowed

Flood Limit (events/sec) Max protocol events a single user may send within any 1-second window. Exceeding the limit kills the connection immediately. Default is 300. Set to 0 to disable flood protection entirely.

Flood Kill Duration (minutes) How long a user is banned after a flood kill. Default is 1 minute with kill reason “Flooding”. Set to 0 for disconnect only (no ban).

Pound protection

Pound check interval (seconds) When pound protection is on, a second TCP connection from the same IP is rejected if an existing session (or pending connection) signed on within this many seconds (1–5).

Ping interval (seconds) How often the server sends keepalive pings to connected clients.

Timeout interval (seconds) Idle read timeout before a client connection is considered stale and disconnected.

User List

Controls how the navigator's "Who's Online" list is sorted before it is sent to clients.

Sort Order Alphabetical groups gods first, then wizards, then regular users — each tier sorted by name (case-insensitive). ID descending shows the highest UserID first, useful for spotting the newest connections.

Authoring

Minimum Rank to Author

Directory Listing

Controls how this palace appears on directory.thepalace.app. Set interval to 0 to disable listing entirely.

Announce Interval (minutes) How often the server posts a heartbeat to the directory (5–60 min recommended). Set to 0 to remove from the listing.
