Getting Started
Get Aelion Cloud up and running in just a few steps.
Architecture
Aelion Cloud uses a distributed architecture: one central server coordinates multiple daemon nodes. Nodes auto-detect their hardware, sync templates on demand, and stream console output in real-time via Socket.IO.
Central backend with REST API, WebSocket server, SQLite database, and a modern web UI. Handles authentication, RBAC permissions, template storage, and real-time daemon coordination.
Lightweight agent with RSA mutual authentication, automatic template syncing, hardware detection, real-time console streaming, and crash recovery. Manages unlimited Minecraft servers per node.
