Put your server on helbreath.co

  • Join the helbreath.co hub. Any Helbreath server can be listed.
  • Run your server with Launcherino. It lists every hub server, so we all advertise each other.
  • No Launcherino, or cheating the check = not eligible for helbreath.community: delisted or banned.

How to join

  1. 1Install Launcherino's server with one setup command (Windows or Linux).
  2. 2Publish your server from its admin panel.
  3. 3Subscribe to the helbreath.co hub. The hub checks it automatically.

Launcherino

An open launcher, installer and update server for any software, with game hubs.

One-click installer

Players run one setup .exe: installed, updated and playing.

Updates that never download twice

Every file is known by its hash; what a player already has is never fetched again.

Restructure by hash

Move or rename folders on the server: players' files are moved in place, not downloaded.

First-install bundle, free mirrors

The first install comes as one bundle that can live on free mirrors; your server only sends updates.

8 languages

Installer and launcher in eight languages, with a searchable language picker.

Signed updates

Manifests are signed (ECDSA P-256): a tampered update is refused.

Hub of servers

A small store of servers for one game, with accounts per server and auto-login.

Admin panel

Upload, publish, sign, view the patch and the remote files, approve hub subscriptions.

Setup scripts for Windows and Linux

One command installs the web server, PHP, database, FTP and TLS: local, LAN or internet.

Open source

For games and for any software: an app is a folder of files published as an update tree.

  • Your language, out of eight

For server owners
