# CoA Server Manager
|
||
|
||
A Windows app that installs and runs your own **Conquest of Azeroth** server (AzerothCore) with a few clicks:
|
||
no console, no config files, no database tools. Tauri 2 + Rust + React.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## What it does
|
||
|
||
* **One-click install.** Downloads a signed, verified server package (resumable, checked file by file), sets up the
|
||
database and creates your first account. Or import a server you already have.
|
||
* **Start / Stop / PLAY.** One button for the whole server (database, auth, world) with live status, uptime and
|
||
players online. PLAY starts the game client with the right realmlist.
|
||
* **Game client.** Use the client you already have, or let the Manager download it (about 43 GB, resumable, every file
|
||
verified). A client the Manager looks after is checked for updates like the server: PLAY turns into **UPDATE CLIENT**,
|
||
and files you changed yourself are never replaced unless you say so.
|
||
* **Safe updates.** The Manager checks for a new server version on start and every five minutes; the main button turns
|
||
into **UPDATE**. Updates are authenticated (Ed25519), back up first, keep files you changed and can be rolled back.
|
||
* **Backups.** Characters, accounts and settings on demand, automatically before every update; verify and restore
|
||
from the app.
|
||
* **CoA / Wildcard realms.** Choose the active realm on Overview. A server build with Wildcard support is required;
|
||
the first switch copies world data and creates an empty character database. Accounts are shared, characters and
|
||
module settings are separate, and only one world runs. Switching a running server saves characters and restarts it.
|
||
The closed client's saved realm follows this selection and is checked again before PLAY. If the client is open,
|
||
the change is applied on the next launch through the Manager.
|
||
CoA companions are unavailable on Wildcard; other optional modules are experimental. Backups include both realms,
|
||
and database updates apply to both.
|
||
See [realm profiles and validation](docs/WILDCARD.md).
|
||
* **Companions (bots).** Fill the world with level-appropriate bots, see progress, stop spawning, take them offline,
|
||
despawn N to relieve the server, and choose how many log in at server start.
|
||
* **Realmlist switcher.** Keep named realmlists (for example *Solo* and *PTR*) and switch the game client between them from a
|
||
drop-down next to PLAY; the file that was replaced is saved first.
|
||
* **Accounts.** See everyone who can log in, change passwords and access levels, rename an account.
|
||
* **Modules.** A page for the server's optional modules (switch on/off, GitHub, settings); it fills up as modules are added.
|
||
* **Report a problem.** A form that prepares a ready bug report for GitHub with your versions filled in.
|
||
* **Settings without files.** Bots and Server pages with plain-language options and presets, a console to the world
|
||
server, player list with account tools.
|
||
* **Play with friends.** Checks whether your server is reachable, opens firewall rules, finds your router (UPnP),
|
||
supports LAN, direct and private-network (Tailscale) play, with step-by-step guides and a package to send to friends.
|
||
* **Updates to the Manager itself** download in the background and install when you close it. Your servers are never
|
||
stopped or changed by a Manager update.
|
||
* **Languages:** English, Russian, German, French, Spanish.

||
## Install
|
||
|
||
Download the installer from the [Releases](https://github.com/Corfirean/coa-server-manager/releases) page
|
||
and run it. You need about 10 GB of free disk space for the server. The game client (about 43 GB) is separate: point the
|
||
Manager at the one you have, or let it download one for you.
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
Phases 0–10 of the plan in [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) are done: foundation, import, start/stop,
|
||
config engine, backups, clean install from signed packages, updates, companions, client launch, friends, polish.
|
||
Remaining work (translation review by native speakers, optional extras) is listed in section 9 of that document. Translation notes: [docs/TRANSLATIONS.md](docs/TRANSLATIONS.md).
|
||
|
||
## Develop
|
||
```
|
||
npm install
|
||
cargo test --workspace # core logic (scan, fsx, manifest, process, driver, health, updates, ...)
|
||
npx tsc --noEmit # type check
|
||
node tools/check-i18n.mjs # translation keys and placeholders
|
||
npx vite # UI in a browser uses a mock IPC (src/dev/mock.ts)
|
||
cargo build -p coa-server-manager # native app (debug build loads http://localhost:1420)
|
||
```
|
||
Layout: `crates/coa-core` (logic), `crates/coa-release` (package tools: pack, sign, verify), `src-tauri`
|
||
(command layer), `src` (UI).
|
||
|
||
Live checks against a real repack: `cargo run -p coa-core --example scan -- <folder>` (read-only).
|
||
Start/stop testing must use a disposable copy: `tools/make-fixture.ps1` builds `C:\games\coa-fixture`
|
||
on offset ports from the pristine packaged database. Never run start/stop against a server in use.
|
||
`tests/e2e/cdp.mjs` drives the real window through WebView2 remote debugging
|
||
(`WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS=--remote-debugging-port=9222`).

CoA Server Manager is free software under the [GNU Affero General Public License v3.0](LICENSE) (`AGPL-3.0-only`).
|
||
|
||
* The server it installs is built from a public fork of AzerothCore
|
||
([`Corfirean/azerothcore-wotlk-coa`](https://github.com/Corfirean/azerothcore-wotlk-coa)), which keeps its own licences
|
||
(GPL-2.0-or-later for the MaNGOS-derived parts, AGPL-3.0 for AzerothCore-original files), and the
|
||
[`mod-coa-playerbots`](https://github.com/Corfirean/mod-coa-playerbots) module (AGPL-3.0). The exact commits behind every
|
||
package are written into its manifest, so the matching source is always available.
|
||
* The bundled MySQL keeps its own GPL-2.0 licence (its text ships in the package's `Licenses` folder).
|
||
* The game data in the `Data` folder (`dbc`, `maps`, `vmaps`, `mmaps`) was extracted from the client of the discontinued

Ascension "Conquest of Azeroth" realm and is **not** covered by this licence.
