Shard Configuration
Server.ini
The server.ini is where the individual shards that comprise a cluster load their server side configurations from. The server will look in <persistent_storage_root>/<conf_dir>/<cluster>/<shard>/ for the existence of this file. Official Reference
An example of the file for the master shard:
[NETWORK]
server_port = 11000
[STEAM]
authentication_port = 8766
master_server_port = 27016
[SHARD]
bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
master_ip = 0.0.0.0
cluster_key = shardpassword1234
name = Master
is_master = true

Any integer |
The UDP port that this server will listen for connections on. If you are running a multi-level cluster, this port must be different for each server on the same machine. This port must be between 10998 and 11018 inclusive in order for players on the same LAN to see it in their server listing. |

bind_ip |
127.0.0.1 |
Public or Private IP |
This is the network address the master server will listen on for other shard servers to connect to. Set this to 127.0.0.1 if all of your servers in your cluster are on the same machine, or 0.0.0.0 if the servers in your cluster are on different machines. This only needs to be set for the master shard. |
master_ip |
none |
Public or Private IP |
This is the I.P. address that a non-master shard will use when trying to connect to the master shard. If all servers in a cluster are on the same machine, set this to 127.0.0.1 |
cluster_key |
none |
Anything |
This is a password used to authenticate a slave server to the master. |
name |
none |
Anything |
This is the name of the shard that will show up in log files. It is ignored for the master server, which always has the name [SHDMASTER]. |
is_master |
none |
true, false |
Sets a shard to be the master shard for a cluster. There must be exactly one master server per cluster. Set this to true in your master server’s server.ini, and false in every other server.ini. |
