Installation

Dependencies

You need to install some dependencies and enable 32bit binaries:

sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 software-properties-common -y
sudo apt install wine64 wine32 -y
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6 xvfb
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

SteamCMD

Now you can finally install SteamCMD:

sudo apt-get install steamcmd

Do not run SteamCMD while operating as the root user - to do so is a security risk. To run SteamCMD and your Servers in an safe environment, create an user account named 'steam':

sudo useradd -m -s steam

Login to 'steam' account:

sudo -u steam -s

Create the server folder:

mkdir Vrising

Use steamcmd to install server files, you can also use this command to update the server files.

steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/steam/Vrising +login anonymous +app_update 582400 +quit

Make sure the files are installed, change back to your account (default is ubuntu)

su ubuntu

Server Initilazation

Go to server location and start the server using xvfb-run:

cd /home/steam/Vrising
export WINEARCH=win64
find /tmp -name ".X99*" -exec rm -f {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1
xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args='-screen 0 640x480x24:32' wine64 VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath ./save-data -logFile server.log

You should create new file to start the server:

export WINEARCH=win64
find /tmp -name ".X99*" -exec rm -f {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1
xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args='-screen 0 640x480x24:32' wine64 VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath ./save-data -logFile server.log

Make the file executable:

chmod ug+x server.sh

Now you can run your server by:

sudo ./server.sh
