Most of the steps come from the Klei official forum. I try to make these steps simple.

Declare a server. I use AWS EC2 t3.medium machine and the system is Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. Don't use the t2.micro machine free-tier, which is too inefficient to run the dedicated server. Make sure you open the following UDP ports in the shell command, which are 27019, 48313, 11001, 60876, 27018, 39042, 11000 and 10889. If you feel it's difficult, you can open all TCP and UDP ports. However, the attacker might be able to utilize these free ports.

Declare a new game cluster in the Klei official sites, which contains your unique server token and config files. Download the config settings to your computer. After unzipping the folder, you can edit the config files based on your needs. Here are my example config files.
-
cluster.ini for the whole cluster.
[GAMEPLAY] game_mode = survival max_players = 6 pvp = false pause_when_empty = true [NETWORK] cluster_description = This server is super duper! cluster_name = example cluster_intention = cooperative cluster_password = 111111 cluster_language = zh [MISC] console_enabled = true [SHARD] shard_enabled = true bind_ip = 127.0.0.1 master_ip = 127.0.0.1 master_port = 10889 cluster_key = supersecretkey
-
server.ini for the cave world.
[NETWORK] server_port = 11001 [SHARD] is_master = false name = Caves [STEAM] master_server_port = 27019 authentication_port = 8769
-
server.ini for the master world.
[NETWORK] server_port = 11000 [SHARD] is_master = true [STEAM] master_server_port = 27018 authentication_port = 8768
-
-
Login to your Linux server and download the dependencies.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libcurl4-gnutls-dev:i386 -y
-
Download the steamcmd in your user root path.
mkdir -p ~/steamcmd/ cd ~/steamcmd/ wget "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz mkdir -p ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/ cd ~
-
Upload the config folder whose name is MyDediServer by default, from your computer to your server. I use the scp command.
scp -i ~/.ssh/example.pem -r Downloads/MyDediServer ubuntu@server_public_ip:~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/ -
Create this shell script and move it to ~/run_dedicated_servers.sh.
#!/bin/bash steamcmd_dir="$HOME/steamcmd" install_dir="$HOME/dontstarvetogether_dedicated_server" cluster_name="MyDediServer" dontstarve_dir="$HOME/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether" function fail() { echo Error: "$@" >&2 exit 1 } function check_for_file() { if [ ! -e "$1" ]; then fail "Missing file: $1" fi } cd "$steamcmd_dir" || fail "Missing $steamcmd_dir directory!" check_for_file "steamcmd.sh" check_for_file "$dontstarve_dir/$cluster_name/cluster.ini" check_for_file "$dontstarve_dir/$cluster_name/cluster_token.txt" check_for_file "$dontstarve_dir/$cluster_name/Master/server.ini" check_for_file "$dontstarve_dir/$cluster_name/Caves/server.ini" ./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir "$install_dir" +login anonymous +app_update 343050 +quit check_for_file "$install_dir/bin64" cd "$install_dir/bin64" || fail run_shared=(./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer_x64) run_shared+=(-console) run_shared+=(-cluster "$cluster_name") run_shared+=(-monitor_parent_process $$) "${run_shared[@]}" -shard Caves | sed 's/^/Caves: /' & "${run_shared[@]}" -shard Master | sed 's/^/Master: /'
-
Give the starting shell execution authority and run this script.
chmod +x ~/run_dedicated_servers.sh cd ~ # you can run this script in the tmux ./run_dedicated_servers.sh
You can initialize a world and then copy the configuration files to the server.
-
Open the mods config file in your server.
vim ~/dontstarvetogether_dedicated_server/mods/dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua -
Add the mods based on your needs like the following script.
--There are two functions that will install mods, ServerModSetup and ServerModCollectionSetup. Put the calls to the functions in this file and they will be executed on boot. --ServerModSetup takes a string of a specific mod's Workshop id. It will download and install the mod to your mod directory on boot. --The Workshop id can be found at the end of the url to the mod's Workshop page. --Example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=350811795 --ServerModSetup("350811795") --ServerModCollectionSetup takes a string of a specific mod's Workshop id. It will download all the mods in the collection and install them to the mod directory on boot. --The Workshop id can be found at the end of the url to the collection's Workshop page. --Example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=379114180 --ServerModCollectionSetup("379114180") ServerModSetup("1378549454") ServerModSetup("347079953")
-
Make these mods available for your world by creating modoverrides.lua in your world project.
cd .klei/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServer/ touch Caves/modoverrides.lua touch Master/modoverrides.lua -
Add these content to modoverrides.lua. Some of modes have configurations which can be added in the configuration_options.
return { ["workshop-1378549454"]={ configuration_options={ }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-347079953"]={ configuration_options={ }, enabled=true } }
You can initialize a world and then copy the configuration files to the server. The configuration options can be found on this forum.
-
Create leveldataoverride.lua in your world project.
cd .klei/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServer/ touch Caves/leveldataoverride.lua touch Master/leveldataoverride.lua -
Add the configurations based on your needs like the following script. This map configuration is designed for the ground world. The cave configuration is similar but it's different.
