Install Xvfb a fake X11 server

sudo apt install xvfb

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

[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                                
Alias=xvfbd.service                               

To enable and start the script:

sudo systemctl enable xvfb.service
sudo systemctl start xvfb.service


Install the allfonts winepackage as user steam with winetricks

login as user steam

su - steam
winetricks allfonts

Install VRising dedicated server

Run steamcmd to install the server software

steamcmd

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

login anonymous

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

@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows

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

force_install_dir ./<name of folder>

Proceed with the installation app_update and steamID

app_update 1829350

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

To logout from steam user, press ctrl + d

Headless wine

we need to make wine headless for this to work without a gui setup headless wine
