Build Valheim server with one script

How to set up a Linux Valheim dedicated server

DONT USE ON PRODUCTION SERVER UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Tested with Ubuntu 18 64 LTS DigitalOcean, AWS and Azure

DigitalOcean:
edit 50-cloud-init.yaml
vi /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

remove private IP address on eth0 (might be 10.10.something - do not remove your public IP the same one you use to SSH into the server or access it)

netplan apply
systemctl status valheimserver.service
reboot

ENJOY!!!

VM'd with the follow requirements: CPU: x4 RAM: 8GB HD: 250GB+
