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.

Looking I don't see anything. However, you could hack it together. It looks like they use gamedig to check the status - which does return an array of players. See: https://github.com/gamedig/node-gamedig/blob/master/README.md
