The easiest way to enter your steam credentials is to run the following command in the same directory where you ran the previous command.
Now to be able to fetch the server files you need a steam account that has a bought copy of Terraria (if you use an account that does not have a copy of Terraria you will get the error "ERROR! Failed to install app '105600' (No subscription)"). Wget -O linuxgsm.sh & chmod +x linuxgsm.sh & bash linuxgsm.sh terrariaserver It will fetch the necessary install files: Secondly, make a new directory and enter it, in there run the following command. If this account has root privileges, that person has complete control over the server, its computing and networking power (can be used for DDOS attacks), and the files on the server. You will have a program listening 24/7 on an open port, if someone finds a backdoor in the program that is listening (Terraria in this case) it can send anything to the port and gain access to your user account.
You can host a game-server on your own computer just fine but keep in mind that when the computer is off nobody can join the server anymore.įirst of all something you should do if you want to run any game server: Make a new user that does NOT have sudo privileges. I will assume basic knowledge of Linux, so I won't write "mkdir terraria_server" but I will write "make a new directory".Ī 'dedicated server' is really just a computer that is always on and connected to the network. I will quickly jot down some notes and if multiple people want a more extensive guide I can make one later. Hi all, I've recently set up a server on a dedicated Linux machine and it was a fairly troublesome process.
