What is Nakama VPS?

Nakama is a scalable server for social and real-time games, offering authentication, storage, chat, matchmaking, leaderboards, and multiplayer. Cloudzy’s Nakama VPS hosting arrives on Ubuntu 24.04 with Docker installed, a ready docker-compose, and a systemd service so Nakama starts on boot. Choose PostgreSQL or CockroachDB, then access the API on port 7350 and the Console on 7351 with root credentials in /root/.cloudzy-creds. Dedicated vCPUs, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, and an up to 40 Gbps uplink keep latency low for live features and leaderboards. Snapshots help you test changes safely, and you can scale CPU, RAM, or disk as your game grows.

What does Nakama provide out of the box?

A real-time game backend with authentication, storage, leaderboards, chat, matchmaking, and multiplayer APIs. You can manage users and inspect data through a built-in web console on port 7351.

Which ports are used for API access and the console with Nakama?

Can Nakama run with different databases?

Yes. It supports CockroachDB and Postgres-compatible engines; official guides include docker-compose examples for both. Choose based on your data model and operations.

How do teams usually deploy Nakama for development?

Most start with Docker Compose to bring up the database and server together, migrate schemas, and expose API and console ports locally or on a VM. This makes teardown and re-deploy simple.

Is there built-in monitoring with Nakama?

The server exposes lightweight metrics and can be scraped by Prometheus. The console also shows live request rate and latency to help you diagnose issues.

How do I access a Nakama VPS after deployment on Cloudzy?

You receive root credentials and find quick notes in /root/.cloudzy-creds. Open port 7351 in your security rules to reach the console, then start testing over HTTP or gRPC.

How does Cloudzy handle performance for Nakama on VPS?

Dedicated vCPUs, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, and an up to 40 Gbps uplink keep API calls and realtime updates responsive. You can scale CPU, RAM, or disk as your CCU grows.

What security and access controls are available on Cloudzy Nakama VPS hosting?

You control SSH keys, firewall rules, and service configs. Change default console credentials, rotate tokens, and restrict DB exposure to private networks where possible.

Can I snapshot, monitor, and upgrade a Cloudzy Nakama VPS easily?

Yes. Use snapshots before large updates, view service logs with docker compose logs, and upgrade by pulling a newer Nakama image in compose. Billing and scaling are flexible so you can grow without interruption.
