I had an old intel based chromebook gathering dust and I have been wanting to use it as a small web and maybe gameserver. The C202s has the following specs:
- Intel’s Celeron N3060 - a dual-core SoC running at 1.6GHz
- 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM
This is just enough to run Valhiems dedicated server!
~~I had to enable development mode~~ (dev mode not actually necessary anymore!) and spin up Chrome's Linux (Beta)
VM: Crostini. From there I installed GSM and Valheim and forwarded UDP and TCP ports from Chromes Linux settings. I played for about an hour so far with no issues and it's nice to have a persistent server for others in my household to access. By default it runs Debian Buster so installing stuff is a breeze if you are comfortable with Debian's apt package manager. Unfortunately Valheim won't automatically detect the server, so I had to enter the ip and port manually to connect.
Not letting selfish people steal code from authors that want people to share it. Well the code trolls can roll their own code and license as they see fit.
