I was curious how Shopify would let you roll Devise so I took a peak and it looks like it's hosted by NameCheap. ;)

That aside, what's your infra like? How are you allowing a user to manage the 7dtd servers themselves? I haven't played since v15, but last time I checked there wasn't much of an API to use to manage it all.

Hi! Founder here. Thanks for finding a bug in my privacy policy, I'll fix that. :/

I wrote a rails web app running on heroku. For the game server binaries, I spun up a server in a data center and control it using bash scripts that run in background jobs on heroku. I wrote jobs to do various tasks, like update config file, restart server, create initial server.

Let me know if you want more info!
