  • Anyone have a positive dedicated server experience in Mistlands?
    1 project | /r/valheim | 31 Dec 2022
    I'm no stranger to linux servers, so I followed [this guide to host a valheim server using EC2](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/gametech/hosting-your-own-dedicated-valheim-server-in-the-cloud/). Which uses [mbround18's docker image to run the server software](https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker), I quickly ran into similar issues to the person in [this post, with too much backing up](https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/vibi6t/i_setup_a_cloud_hosted_valheim_dedicated_server/) and made similar fixes.

    Again, this isn't necessarily a problem, but other than mentioning that it is running in a container and that you need to make some changes to docker-compose.yml to update the server password there isn't much detail given about the container setup in the blog post. If you do some searching based on things in the docker-compose.yml you'll find that it's running this Valheim container setup https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker
