PSA: Avoid Shockbyte for renting game servers!

If you are considering running on aws directly.. I would seriously look at running one of the valheim docker images( https://github.com/rileydakota/valheim-ecs-fargate-cdk ) that runs on aws ecs/fargate service.. That is my next project is to set it all up on ecs and transfer the world that I already have that is running on an ec2 instance..

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.
