5/17/2023 0 Comments Valheim dedicated server![]() Renegrade has found that only the UDP ports are needed with this server, for security sake it would be a good idea to only forward them through to the server.Īs a side note from Tomatoes, there is also the option to use the new systemd timers infrastructure to accomplish what the cron in this section is doing. The following link will take you to a list of routers in alphabetical order and as long as you find your router on the list click it and there will be a guide that should help get you started. ![]() This should keep your system updated and clean as well as restart the Valheim server on a nightly basis and check for updates for it.įinally you will need to forward the ports through your router to your server in order for this to work for others outside your network. Line 3 - Cleans up the apt system and removes deprecated packages at 3:30am.Line 2 - Reboots the machine at 2:30am after the update.Line 1 - Updates the repos on the system and then upgrades available packages at 2am.This will do the following on your server daily. In some cases, like your default interpreter is set to something other than bash/sh, you may need to specify the bash environment to start the script properly. Again make sure you replace any instance of "username" you find with your own or this will not work as expected. Finally, since you never want to run a server (typically) as a root user we are defining the username to run the service as which should be your limited account. Then we are telling it where the run script can be found/executed and what directory to work out of. In the section we are telling the system what type of service it is and what to do if it fails or crashes. In this we are telling the server not to attempt to start the service until after the network is online and logging has been started. What this is doing is creating the variables needed by the systemd daemon in order to start the server and manage it for you. Moved the force directory command per suggestion from Renegrade.Īfter=syslog.target network-online.targetĮxecStart=/home/username/Valheim/start_valheim.sh Now we will need to create and register the service that will get this file running. Finally we comment out a few things at the bottom (echo statements) because they will not be needed to stop the server. This makes it easy for you to create a cron to restart your server daily and when the service is started it will automatically check if there is an update for the server available from steam. ![]() Also at the start of the script after the environment variables are set for the server to run correctly I am calling the steamcmd script to ensure that the server is the current version by running an update action. This is for the systemd journalctl service so that a running timestamp of how long the server is up can be written to the log. When you are done with the file from nano you type in ctl+x and save it.Ī few things to note about the changes in this file are the while statement at the bottom. valheim_server.x86_64 -name "Your Server Name" -port 2456 -world "Dedicated" -password "Your Password" -public 1 > /dev/null &Įcho "rvice: timestamp $"īe sure to change the server name and password to your own. home/$USER/.steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /home/$USER/Valheim +login anonymous +app_update 896660 +quit # NOTE: You need to make sure the ports 2456-2458 is being forwarded to your server through your local router & firewall. # NOTE: Minimum password length is 5 characters & Password cant be in the server name. # Tip: Make a local copy of this script to avoid it being overwritten by steam.
