A Valheim server.

1. Setup ssh for another user and add them to sudoers

   sudo adduser ola
   sudo adduser ola sudo
   

   generate and save password somewhere. Send to them privately

2. Ask for their public SSH key

3. Add the key to their authorized_keys

   sudo su ola
   cd
   mkdir -p .ssh
   touch .ssh/authorized_keys
   chmod 0600 .ssh/authorized_keys
   vi .ssh/authorized_keys
   

   Then copy the public key into that file and save and exit

1. From your local machine, SSH into the valheim server (using ola as example)

   ssh [email protected]
   

2. stop the valheim server

   sudo service valheim stop
   

3. run the update script

   sudo su -c '/home/steam/Valheim/update.sh' steam

5. To see the status of the server, run

   sudo service valheim status

1. SSH into the server using your personal account (see above)

2. Copy the latest save files into your home directory

   sudo cp /home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local/Ladlandia.{fwl,db} ~/
