What this is

DZGUI allows you to connect to both official and modded/community DayZ servers on Linux and provides a graphical interface for doing so.

This overcomes certain limitations in the Linux client and helps prepare the game to launch by providing features like:

• Search for and display server metadata in a table (server name, player count, ping, queue size, current gametime, distance, IP)
• Add/delete/manage favorite servers by IP or ID
• Quick-connect to favorite/recent servers
• Find and prepare mods being requested by servers (choose from manual or automatic installation)
• Bulk delete/update local mods
• Concatenate launch options to pass to Steam
• Connect to mod-enabled LAN servers

Design philosophy

DZGUI follows a specific set of guidelines, enumerated below:

• Provide a free and open-source tool under GPL
• Do not use undocumented, third-party servers to aggregate data; no central "DZGUI" server
• All connections go to Steam and DayZ servers directly; the tool should function in perpetuity without intermediary endpoints
• Target Linux desktop and Steam deck specifically; not a cross-platform tool

Setup and usage

Refer to the documentation for installation and setup instructions:

• GitHub
• Mirror (Codeberg)
