This script automates the setup of a Valheim game server on a Linux system. It installs necessary packages, creates a Valheim user, sets up the server directory, and configures the server with user-provided details.

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the script.

   cd /path/to/script

2. Make the script executable.

   chmod +x valheim_setup.sh

3. Run the script.

   ./valheim_setup.sh

4. Follow the prompts to enter the desired server executable name, server name, and a new password.

• This script assumes a Debian-based Linux distribution and uses apt for package management. Adjustments may be needed for other distributions.

• The script creates a valheim user and sets up the server directory under /home/valheim/server.

• It installs required packages such as software-properties-common, lib32gcc-s1, and steamcmd.

• The Valheim server executable is configured using the provided server name and password.

• The script redirects server logs to server_logs.txt and runs the server in the background.

• Server information including IP, port, name, and password is displayed upon completion.

• To terminate the server, use the command: sudo kill <SERVER_PID> Replace with the actual server process ID.

• Monitor server logs in real-time with:

  tail -f /home/valheim/server/server_logs.txt

Feel free to customize the script or seek assistance if needed. Enjoy your Valheim server!
