An example setup using NodePanel’s Valheim settings. Not a customer’s server.

Your server settings

Set the world name, player access and optional mod loaders in the Valheim profile.

Name the world you will return to
Choose the world save to load or create and give the server a recognisable name. The world name and server name have separate fields.
Set access and crossplay
Choose whether to list the server publicly and set a server password. Enable crossplay when your group needs Xbox or Microsoft Store access.
Choose mods and world backups
The profile includes BepInEx and Valheim Plus switches. It also exposes world backups and a setting for how many backups to keep.

Once it is running

The game server’s page has its controls, its live usage and the address your players connect to.

Start, stop, restart and update: Each one is a single button. Updating the game or saving new settings restarts it, so pick a time when nobody is playing.
Live CPU and memory: See the game’s CPU use, its memory use against the limit you set, and its uptime. Use them to decide whether the game needs more memory.
Address, ports and files: The Connection card shows the address and ports your players use, and tells you if your hosting provider’s firewall is blocking them. The file manager opens the game’s files.

Try NodePanel

Connect your Linux server, pick a game and share the address with your players. You pay your hosting provider separately for the server.
