How to create a Starbound Server on Linux x64/x86(x32) UPDATED

How to set up a Starbound Server on Debian 7

UPDATE: Now we doing this with SteamCMD

So, let us start.

1. Run putty and login as Root user.

Get the libs. (Accept them with y Enter)

 apt-get install libvorbisfile3
Enter
dpkg --add-architecture i386
Enter
apt-get update
Enter
apt-get install ia32-libs
Enter 

Get screen (to keep server alive when you close putty)

 apt-get install screen
Enter 

2. Create a new user

useradd -m -s /bin/bash -d /home/starbound starbound
Enter 

Change password

passwd starbound
Enter
choose new passwort
Enter 

ok Login with the new Starbound user.

now do

mkdir steamcmd
Enter
cd steamcmd
Enter
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
Enter
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
Enter

Now delete the tar.gz file

rm steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
Enter

Its time to download the server files, do that with

./steamcmd.sh
Enter

Now it will update and download steamstuff, don't mind it :)
Just do

quit

3. It's DOWNLOAD time

./steamcmd.sh
Enter

Now your in the SteamCMD
You have to login with your Steamaccount (the account with Starbound.)
Don't worry its just a Steamclient from Steam. Nobody will steal your password

login username
Enter
"type your password now"

may it asks now for your Steamguard code. Type in and hit the magic button again (Enter).

Its time to finally download stuff now :)
but the first step on that is to choose a install dir

force_install_dir ./starbound
Enter
app_update 211820
Enter

loading...

quit
Enter

4.RUN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME YAY

 cd linux64
chmod +x *
./starbound_launch_server.sh 

and shut it down again :(
Hit

Ctrl + C

so now to a starserver script to run it in Screen

nano startserver.sh
Enter
screen -AmS sb ./starbound_server
Enter
Ctrl+X
Enter
y
Enter
chmod +x startserver.sh

Run the server

./startserver.sh
Enter

Now be careful, if you want to close the putty window and not the server press

Ctrl+A+D

Your server is detached.
you can close putty now.

if you want to resume to the server run

screen -r

Done.

to close the server (shutdown)

Ctrl + c

now you can easy run your server with

./startserver.sh

Update the Server
do step 3.

or do an update script

cd
Enter
cd steamcmd
Enter
nano update.sh
Enter

Type in:

./steamcmd.sh +login username password +force_install_dir ./starbound +app_update 211820 +quit
Ctrl+x
Enter
y
Enter

the last step, to update the server

chmod +x update.sh

Done, now just do

./update.sh

If you have a Firewall forward Port 21025
Maybe the same works with linux32 too, i didn't test it :)

if you have any problems, add me in Steam

16 GB RAM

Starbound takes with 0 Users online:

But what is the load when there are 1-3 player online?

Thx dude is was really usefull, I just had to adapt few thing like launching starbound_server instead of starbound_server but it's ok ;)

THANKS !

[rezzi /°>~]

Ah okay, I always save before leavin nano.
Anyway, thanks for your guide :)

[Habo]

Ctlr + X = Close, Now there is the question "Do you want to save..." so u do y for yes. Maybe its outdated and now its ./starbound_server

[rezzi /°>~]

In Step 4 you say "./starbound_launch_server.sh" but there is no ./starbound_launch_server-Script. I think you're meaning the normal starbound_server, do you?
The only thing I did in another way was: I created the start- and update-Script directly in the home-directory and adjusted the screen-command.
Did you forgot the Ctrl + O for saving in nano? And what does the "y" mean?

[Noxturno]

nvm !!! I was in the wrong dir xD

[Noxturno]

so I followed the guide up to step 4 , cd linux64 but I got cd linux32 for some reason I did followed your directions to the letter how come I installed 32? and how do I fix this?

[Habo]

go to your Starbound dir, and copy it.

[Nemi]

is there a way to install this without having the game because we want to put it on someones server but I don't wanna give them my account

[Devcutter]

i got it installed just make a .sh file that will contain your command then
inside of it you put
screen -AmS sb mono starrybound_server.exe and there you go you can launch it with
yourfilename.sh

btw starrybound bring permissions bans and alot more
