I decided to make a Full Video Tutorial Step by Step of on how to set up a Habbo Retro using the Zabbo Pack!
Release Thread Link:
The original video was over 3 hours long since I forgot some steps and had to backtrack, but after a lot of editing, it’s now trimmed down to 36 minutes. It took me 2 days to edit, mainly because I had to blur stuff out.
This tutorial covers everything you need, including:
Getting a domain and VPS server
Setting up Cloudflare and Turnstile Captcha
Adding a Cloudflare Nitro Page Rule for WebSockets
Setting up a Hetzner Windows server
Setting up PHP in IIS and a full IIS server for Habbo Retro use
Installing MariaDB MySQL
Configuring API and WebSockets for Nitro
Allowing ports in your VPS firewall for the emulator
Installing the Nitro Client and getting the camera working
Much more!
This setup can be applied to almost any Habbo Retro Setup Process, making it a great resource for beginners.
Please Note:
If you're using AtomCMS or OrionCMS and want to use this Zabbo Pack, you can easily use it since it's the same password hashing.
Setting Maintenance Mode:
You can do per account only by ranking yourself as owner Rank 19 in the database and you'll be able to rank them via housekeeping by editing the user account.
First-time video editing
USE WINDOWS SERVER 2022 FOR HETZNER, not Windows Server 2025 on the video around 5:55 I mounted Windows Server 2025 on accident but I actually used Windows Server 2022 and forgot to edit out the Windows Server 2025 mistake.
