S&Box Server Manager

A Windows tool to manage sbox dedicated servers, powered by Electron.

Before Use

Server Manager uses SteamCMD, you need to install it seperately, you can find information about how to install and use SteamCMD here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD.

Once SteamCMD has been installed, you can install the s&box Server by running the following command in Windows Terminal from the directory you installed SteamCMD. ./steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1892930 validate +quit

Install SteamCMD and run the s&box install cmd once

How does it work?

Server Manager spawns a PTY shell with sbox-server.exe (scrds) as a child process and directly controls the process.
