New page

=VRising Dedicated Server=

==Prerequisites==

Add non-free and contrib to /etc/apt/sources.list after main

so this line:

<pre>deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main</pre>

looks like this one

<pre>deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main non-free contrib</pre>

Add winehq repo for Debian

<pre>sudo echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bullseye main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list</pre>

Download apt key

<pre>wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key</pre>

Add key

<pre>sudo apt-key add winehq.key</pre>

Add 32-bit architecture support

<pre>sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386</pre>

Update apt and install packages

<pre>sudo apt update

sudo apt install winehq-stable winetricks steamcmd:i386</pre>

create user steam

<pre>useradd steam -m -s /bin/bash</pre>

==Make WINE headless==

For this server to run, we need to make wine headless

source: https://superuser.com/questions/902175/run-wine-totally-headless

source: https://serverdiary.com/linux/how-to-install-xvfb-and-create-systemd-xvfb-service-on-centos-7-8-or-rhel-7-8/

Install Xvfb a fake X11 server

<pre>sudo apt install xvfb</pre>

Create a systemd script to run it with in /etc/systemd/system/xvfb.service:

<pre>
[Unit]
Description=Xvfb headless fake X server
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16

[Install]
WantedBy=multi=user.target
Alias=Xvfb.service
</pre>

To enable and start the script:

<pre>sudo systemctl enable xvfb.service
sudo systemctl start xvfb.service</pre>

Install the allfonts winepackage as user steam with winetricks

login as user steam

<pre>su - steam</pre>

<pre>winetricks allfonts</pre>

==Install VRising dedicated server==

Run steamcmd to install the server software

<pre>steamcmd</pre>

you will now get a Steam> prompt
In the Steam> prompt login as anonymous

<pre>login anonymous</pre>

First, tell SteamCMD to use windows as the platform, as there's currently a Windows version of VRising Server currently:

<pre>@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows</pre>

Optional: If you want to install the server to a specific directory in the /home/steam folder:

<pre>force_install_dir ./<name of folder></pre>

Proceed with the installation app_update and steamID

<pre>app_update 1829350</pre>

When the server software is finished with the installation, exit steamcmd with pressing ctrl + c

To logout from steam user, press ctrl + d

==Run the server with systemd==

Make a systemd script to run the server from.

Add this snippet to /etc/systemd/system/vrising.service

<pre>
[Unit]
Description=VRising server service
Wants=network-online.target
Requires=xvfb.service

[Service]
Environment=DISPLAY=:0.0
ExecStart=wine VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath .\save-data -serverName "Malinux V Rising Server" -saveName "MyWorld
-1" -logFile ".\logs\VRisingServer.log"
WorkingDirectory=/home/steam/Steam/steamapps/common/VRisingDedicatedServer/
user=steam
group=steam

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</pre>

Set the WorkingDirectory to where your VRisingServer.exe is located if you put it in a custom location

==Forward ports==

enable and open ports in ufw

<pre>
ufw allow 9876 comment 'Comment that describes this ufw rule game-traffic and rcon'
ufw allow 9877 comment 'Comment that describe this ufw rule query-port' </pre>

==configure the server==

I'll add more later
