Setup of Valheim server on OVH

The cooperative gameplay, crafting, and exploring features of the well-known open-world survival game Valheim attracted a lot of attention. To play with friends or ask other people to join them in the gaming world, players frequently create their own private game servers.

Here is an overview of the general processes we need to follow if we’re interested in setting up a Valheim server with OVH:

1. Virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated servers are just two of the server solutions that OVH provides. Choose a plan that offers the performance, memory, and storage that we require. Make sure the server satisfies the prerequisites for executing Valheim.

2. When the server is ready, we must install an operating system. OVH normally provides a selection of operating systems. The use of a Linux distribution like CentOS or Ubuntu can be an option.

3. Create the user accounts, firewall configurations, and security updates on the server as needed.

4. We’ll need to install SteamCMD (Steam Console Client) on the server because Valheim is a Steam game. We can download and control Steam-based gaming servers with this client.

5. Download as well as install the Valheim server files using SteamCMD on the OVH server.

6. Then edit the Valheim server’s configuration files to change settings like the server name, password, world parameters, and more. Usually, these files can be found in the installation directory of the server.

7. In order to make sure that the required ports (often 2456–2458 UDP) are open and accessible by players trying to connect to the server, configure port forwarding on the OVH server.

8. Using the proper command, we can start the Valheim server. Also, ensure that the server is operational and reachable.

9. Give friends or any gamers who want to join the OVH Valheim server the IP address and port. They can also connect to the server using this information from within the game.

10. Maintain regular performance checks, control user access, as well as update the operating system and Valheim server software.
