Summary
Uploading Garry's Mod server addons helps server owners customize their servers to their exact preferences. Addons can either increase the moderation capabilities or add fun mini-games to servers. Custom addons are typically installed outside of the Steam Workshop; as a result, users should be careful and consider the user providing any unknown files before installing them on a server, as some addons can contain malicious code.
| Note | Custom addons can contain malicious code; generally, safe websites are curated, such as the GmodStore and Steam Workshop. |
How to Install Custom Addons to a Garry's Mod Server
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Games panel.
2. Stop the server.
3. Go to the Files tab.
4. Find the following directory: /home/container/garrysmod .
5. Open the addons folder; if not present, Choose Create and select Create File from the dropdown.
6. Upload the addon by dragging and dropping.
7. Once finished uploading, Start the server. Any loaded addons will be visible from in-game.
