Now that the new DM guide is out is there an option to manage a characters bastion online? Am I just missing it somewhere? or is it in the works to add it to a character here online?

Unfortunately, nothing like that currently exists and there has been no official announcement that they're building anything.
Seems silly that this is a largely player driven item, but options for building their bastion are only available in the DMG. Please release a free supplement to allow players to know what they can do with bastions and how to expand or build them, without needing to go through the DMG.

Notably, it can only be done in a campaign where the DM allows it. I wouldn't be surprised to discover its placement in the DMG as opposed to the PHB is to set the right expectations.
How much is their to manage? Just roll a dice, make a note, and keep it moving. I don't see this coming up so frequently for the games that use them that it would require an online management tool.

I think they want a means of tracking which facilities they have, how large they are, what orders they've been given and what assigned hirelings they have to name a few aspects. It's not really just "roll a dice, make a note", Bastions do require a small character sheet of their own to track, as you can see by this Bastion tracker sheet from the DMG

They honestly need to release a tool to make bastion management easy or run the risk of everyone just ignoring it as a mechanic at the end of the day.
Any update on this? My campaign just started using Bastions and I can't find anything in here to track their Bastion.
Manage online? No. However, the Bastions page here on Beyond has a downloadable PDF of the tracker sheet that's a fillable form.

Would be nice if support for Bastion can be part of the Maps VTT
