What OS is best for a palworld server? (lemm.ee)

I want to setup a Palworld server for a friend of mine. Unfortunately SteamOS isn't available on their site. What OS can I use to setup such a server? I want to run it on a HP microserver N36L. Preferably I want to maintain it through a web GUI, so I won't have to connect a monitor all the time. Im mostly experienced with Debian like OSes, but im willing to try anything.

Thanks in advance!

A Debian 12 (Bookworm) with Cockpit for server webui, Portainer for docker webui and then installing a docker image, f.e. https://github.com/jammsen/docker-palworld-dedicated-server, would be my recommendation.
Makes it dead easy to selfhost other game servers as docker images too.

I would increase BASE_CAMP_MAX_NUM_IN_GUILD and maybe also BASE_CAMP_WORKER_MAXNUM for the dedicated server.
There's raid bosses that you summon in camps, and it is nice to be able to have a camp that is dedicated for said raid battles.
Increasing workers allowed per camp allows you to make those battles easier as you have more troops out at the same time.
