    Great for Valheim

    Quick setup, reasonable pricing, and very responsive support team via email and Discord. We imported a rather large Valheim world from a personal server so a friend would no longer have to leave his PC on. Performance is pretty good for 5-6 players at a time and we haven't had any major issues in the 4 months it's been up.

    Great choice for servers with friends

    Have now had a Valheim server for around a week. Just myself and a couple of friends playing on it, but performance has been great so far and the initial setup was extremely quick. Quite like the control panel too - everything I need, but keeping it simple and responsive unlike some I've used in the past. Currently wouldn't hesitate to try them again or recommend them to friends in the future.

Running a Valheim dedicated server is... complicated.

System Requirements

To run a dedicated server for Valheim, you will need a system with at least a quad-core processor, alongisde a minimum of 2 GB of RAM. You will also need a minimum of 2 GB of free storage. The operating system should be Linux (Ubuntu 16.04+), Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit), Windows Server 2012-2022. Modded servers will require even more processing power.

Installation

You can install the server from your Steam library or use SteamCMD.

For Linux:

steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType linux +force_install_dir /path/to/server +login anonymous +app_update 896660 -beta none validate +quit

For Windows:

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\Your\Valheim\Folder +login anonymous +app_update 896660 -beta none validate +quit

You'll need to forward ports 2456 and 2457 for the UDP game port and Steam query port respectively.

Crossplay: Valheim has introduced crossplay between Xbox and PC, allowing you to use the -crossplay parameter in the startup script to allow players cross-platform to join.

Starting the server

You can launch the dedicated server from your steam library which will give you a terminal window to view.

You can also run the server by using command line in the server's directory:

Windows:

StartServer.bat
