Arma Reforger Server Config Example

Use this example as a readable starting point for an Arma Reforger dedicated server config.json, then adjust names, ports, scenario, passwords, admins, and mods for your own host.

Example config.json

This example is intentionally conservative. Replace the scenario, passwords, admin IDs, and Workshop mod IDs before using it on a public server. The official field reference is the Bohemia Interactive server config documentation.

What to change first

Set game.name to the server name players should see.
Replace passwordAdmin with a real secret and keep it out of shared files.
Choose the correct scenarioId for the mission you want to run.
Update ports if your host panel or firewall uses different values.

Where mods go

Workshop mods belong inside game.mods. Each entry needs a modId. A name helps humans read the file, and a version can pin a specific release when you need that behavior.

Validate before restart

Copy the edited file into the Arma Reforger Config.json Validator before deploying. It catches JSON syntax problems, duplicate mod IDs, malformed mod entries, and common field type issues that are easy to miss by eye.

Need mod IDs?Search Workshop metadata, copy IDs, and add mods directly to the shared config draft.
