Arma Reforger Ports & Protocols

Port	Protocol	Purpose
2001	UDP	The game port and the one players connect to; bindPort is the local listener while publicPort is what gets advertised (they differ behind NAT)
17777	UDP	The Steam A2S query port, not a join port; gamedig distinguishes port from port_query explicitly
19999	UDP	The RCON port; AMP points AdminPortRef at it and sets AdminMethod to BattlEyeRCON. In the LGSM official config rcon is an empty object, i.e. not configured by default

Server notes

First, a correction to what this site used to say: the old overview claimed the config lives in config.json at the server root, while AMP metaconfig states Configs/serverconfig.json (ConfigType template) and is the only source giving a full relative path. Second, on frame rate: both upstreams default to a 60 FPS cap (LinuxGSM passes -maxFPS on the command line and AMP exposes a maxFPS panel parameter), so capping is advised on that basis; but the old claim that an idle server burns a full CPU core has no official source this round and is downgraded to unverified rather than stated as fact. Third, on appid 1007: this site used to say it must be installed after SteamCMD. appinfo confirms 1007 is Steamworks SDK Redist, yet neither AMP updates.json (whose only two SteamCMD stages are 1874900 and 1890870) nor the LinuxGSM armarserver config mentions it, so the claim is kept labelled unverified - neither endorsed nor deleted. Fourth, RCON listens on UDP 19999 with AdminMethod BattlEyeRCON, and the official 1.8.0.13 announcement contains "Fixed: Crash when using vanilla scripted commands on modded server via RCON", i.e. hosts that have not updated could crash when running vanilla scripted commands over RCON on a modded server. Fifth, shutdown is #shutdown sent to the server console (AMP ExitString; # is the Reforger console prefix), and readiness is the log line ENGINE : Game successfully created. (the exact pattern AMP uses). Sixth, config changes need a restart (AMP sets SupportsLiveSettingsChanges to False). Seventh, the command-line port flags (-bindPort / -a2sPort / -a2sIpAddress) and the config-file keys bindPort / a2s.port / a2s.address set the same values, and which one wins could not be verified this round because the official hosting docs were unreachable, so keep the two consistent. Eighth, the template schema changes with the game version: the persistence block arrived in main7 and three save-retention keys in main8, while neither real host config has a persistence block, so the generator does not force the newer schema and avoids a failed start on an older server.
