The day it's here! Starbound beta is finally here, and what could be better
|
|
than having a dedicated server to play with your friends? Let's get this done.
|
|
|
|
## Install SteamCMD
|
|
|
|
Official documentation: <https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD>
|
|
|
|
Basically you need to download it's shell script to manage steam apps, take
|
|
special attention to the lib32 section if you're running the server in a 64bit
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
|
|
tar xzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Starbound on the server
|
|
|
|
You will need to login with your steam username here to download/update
|
|
starbound. Your account** is not needed** to keep the server running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
./steamcmd.sh
|
|
# Steam updating and validating stuff
|
|
Steam> login your_username_here
|
|
# Your password WILL BE VISIBLE. But after a first login
|
|
# your credentials will be cached so you don't need to
|
|
# expose them everytime you need to use the steamcmd.
|
|
Steam> app_update 211820
|
|
# This will install starbound, it will take a while
|
|
# depending on the server bandwidth.
|
|
Steam> app_update 211820 validate
|
|
# Validate installation, just in case.
|
|
# I do this in two separate steps because -at least for me-
|
|
# validating on a fresh install take a lot longer that
|
|
# just installing and validating afterwards. Don't sure why.
|
|
Steam> quit
|
|
# Finished!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Start the server
|
|
|
|
Go to `Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linuxXX/` (where XX is 32 or 64 based
|
|
on your server architecture).
|
|
|
|
Launch `launch_starbound_client.sh`
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the universe you played on your computer, just upload the
|
|
universe folder found on your computer to the same folder where the server
|
|
script is.
|
|
|
|
Happy gaming!
