Dedicated_Valheim_Server_Script VS valheim-server-docker

i agree with everything u/~defron~ has mentioned so far. I'd like to add a bit more to the whole OS thing. Windows is a straight no go, unstable, bloated, memory hog, the list goes on. As for linux, there are plenty of choices, although options like UnRaid/Truenas/OpenMediaVault all are great aesthetically wise, gui for managing your users, permissions, storage, containers you will generally always find yourself limited by them at one point or another, especially with the use case you described. Something like ubuntu with mergerfs and snapraid and a samba share took me around 20 minutes to configure. Vallheilm i've not had experience with but after 2 minutes of googling i found this. Minecraft on the other hand is incredibly easy to set up, if you take a look at this repository you can have a paper minecraft server with one command install that auto updates and sets it up for you within 2 minutes. For power saving I'd recommend you set up a systemd script to set powertop --auto-tune to autostart on boot and use hdparm to set hdd sleep time. With all drives spun down I get around 10W idle on ubuntu and around 18W on TrueNAS. ZFS is great, but i don't see it's use for a personal home build. As for your discord scripts, since you mentioned you use docker profesionally, i don't see why you couldn't just make a dockerfile for each bot and run them as containers.

Njord dedicated server script

I’m using the amazing Dedicated Valheim Server Njord which you can find open sourced here https://github.com/Nimdy/Dedicated_Valheim_Server_Script.

So, funny story, shortly after making my previous post, I went and stole some code from this guy's script. Which uses steamcmd.sh and looks in the container's local appmanifest file, compares the two and runs an update. I keep the end result here, the version check stuff is (unsurprisingly) in versionCheck.sh. That repository is my unsophisticated take on running Valheim server in a docker container, with supporting scripts. With a daily job set in crontab on the server to run the versionCheck.sh script.

Use this https://github.com/Nimdy/Dedicated_Valheim_Server_Script

You should be technically able to run the server in a docker container (e.g. lloesche/valheim-server, Github page). No idea if the resources of the VM are enough for the server, but as it does not run a lot of game logic it might work.

I setup this docker image in unraid => https://github.com/lloesche/valheim-server-docker

Install docker and use lloesche/valheim-server

I've been following the guide listed here: https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server from /u/lloesche.

Looking at the environment variables for that docker package (https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server) "SERVER_PUBLIC" should be "true" not "1."

I Use this Docker Image to host the server: https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server It has build in Mod Support (That is how i installed the Mod to test it). Do i need to Install the Mod on the server, even if it is client Side? Or is there a way for clients to auto-Download server mods?

Anyone experienced that? I checked the GitHub of server and I see no such issues opened there. No mods installed.
