A '''public server''' allows one to play [[NetHack]] or a [[variant]] in a shared space where one can encounter other people's [[bones]] and see [[score]]s in the server's scorelist. You may also choose to watch someone's game that is in progress. You can access a public server by using a [[telnet]] or SSH client.
 
 
Consider using [[nethack.alt.org]] and [[slashem.crash-override.net]]; both allow you to [[telnet]] in and play games or watch games in progress. They also have [[sortloot]] and [[menucolors]].
 
 
 
There are several ways to manage your public NetHack server, but the most common is to use [[dgamelaunch]], which manages the user accounts and runs the NetHack processes in a [[chroot jail]] when user telnets in to the server.

A public server allows one to play NetHack or a variant in a shared space where one can encounter other people's bones and see scores in the server's scorelist. You may also choose to watch someone's game that is in progress. You can access a public server by using a telnet or SSH client.

Setting up your own server

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"How to setup your own server?"

There are several ways to manage your public NetHack server, but the most common is to use dgamelaunch, which manages user accounts and runs the NetHack processes in a chroot jail when a user telnets into the server.
