How to set up a Linux Valheim dedicated server:
Use my referral link if you do not already have a DigitalOcean Account, gives me free credit on my account, if not no biggie! https://m.do.co/c/9d2217a2725c
Use my code and you get $100 in credit over 60 days. (good way to test your dedicated server)
Never run any script on a production server, unless you know what you are doing.
Create VM with minimum 2 CPUs and 4GB of ram. Otherwise server won't start.
DigitalOcean private IP and routing fix for Valheim:
edit 50-cloud-init.yaml
vi /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
remove private IP address on eth0 (might be 10.10.something - do not remove your public IP the same one you use to SSH into the server or access it)
netplan apply
reboot
ENJOY!!!
Run as root(if brave enough) or sudo current user
sudo apt-get install -y git net-tools
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/Nimdy/Dedicated_Valheim_Server_Script.git
cd Dedicated_Valheim_Server_Script/
sudo chmod +x build_dedicated_valheim_server.sh
(I live in vi... use whatever you wish)
sudo vi build_dedicated_valheim_server.sh
# There are 4 things you need to change!
