How to Enable and Use KF2 WebAdmin

Killing Floor 2 WebAdmin Panel

KF2's WebAdmin is a browser-based administration panel that lets you manage the server without touching the console — change maps, kick/ban players, adjust settings, and monitor the game state in real time.

Step 1 — Enable WebAdmin

Edit KFGame/Config/KFWeb.ini:

[IpDrv.WebServer]
bEnabled=true
ListenPort=8080
bShouldLogAccess=false

• Set bEnabled=true
• ListenPort defaults to 8080 — change it if you need to run multiple servers on the same machine
• Restart the server after editing

Step 2 — Set the Admin Password

The WebAdmin password is the same as AdminPassword in LinuxServer-KFGame.ini:

[Engine.AccessControl]
AdminPassword=YourSecurePasswordHere

Make sure you've set a strong password before exposing WebAdmin to the internet.

Step 3 — Open the Firewall Port

If you haven't already, allow TCP port 8080:

sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp

Step 4 — Access WebAdmin

Open a browser and navigate to:

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080

Log in with:

• Username: admin
• Password: whatever you set as AdminPassword

What You Can Do in WebAdmin

Current Game tab:

• View the current map, game mode, player list, wave number
• Kick or ban individual players (by SteamID or session)
• Change the map immediately

Change Map tab:

• Select any map from your server's map list
• Choose a game mode and start the vote/change

Administration tab:

• Edit banned players list
• Manage admin accounts (add additional admin users)
• View the server log in real time

Adding Extra Admin Accounts

In WebAdmin → Administration → Administrators, you can create additional admin logins. This lets moderators log in without knowing the full AdminPassword.

You can also grant in-game admin access by adding Steam IDs to the admins list in LinuxServer-KFGame.ini:

[Engine.AccessControl]
AdminPassword=YourPassword

[KFGame.KFGameInfo]
; (these are set per-user via WebAdmin Administrators tab)

Security Notes

• WebAdmin has no HTTPS — don't log in over untrusted networks
• Use a strong, unique AdminPassword (not the same as your server password)
• Consider restricting port 8080 by IP using your firewall if the server is public:

# Allow WebAdmin only from your IP
sudo ufw allow from YOUR_ADMIN_IP to any port 8080 proto tcp
sudo ufw deny 8080/tcp
