Deploy Valheim to a Linux server!
This is a set of Ansible playbooks and prebuilt automation tools to deploy Valheim. The aim of this repository is to make it simple to maintain a Valheim server.
First, update the hosts file with your Valheim server(s).
This is a standard Ansible inventory file.
Optionally, run the following command to bootstrap your servers:
make init
This will configure your Valheim server via the initialize.yml playbook.
By default, this includes server configuration and hardening.
It includes some pretty opinionated defaults, and it may not be for you!
To install Valheim to the server:
make deploy
After the deployment is finished, Valheim will be deployed and running on your server's IP address.
The playbooks will automatically configure nightly backups of your server by default. However, in the event of server maintenance, you may wish to take a local backup of your server:
make backup
By default, backups are stored locally at /opt/valheim/config.
The location of these backups are configurable.
