How to create a Palworld compatible server (EN)
Find out how to install your own Palworld-compatible server on an OVHcloud VPS or Dedicated Server
2024-02-23

Objective

Developed by Pocket Pair, Palworld is a video game that blends elements of survival, object-making and adventure, all in an open world populated by creatures called “Pals”. Having your own server to play a game such as Palworld offers several advantages, such as complete control over the gaming environment and community, improved performance and gaming experience, and the ability to host special events.

This tutorial describes how to create a Palworld-compatible server on a VPS or a Dedicated Server using LinuxGSM. The installation time is estimated to be less than 10 minutes.

Requirements

  • A VPS or a dedicated server in your OVHcloud account
  • A GNU/Linux operating system installed on the server
  • Administrative (sudo) SSH access to your server
  • Basic understanding of GNU/Linux administration

Warning

If you are unfamiliar with using a VPS, please read our Getting started with a VPS guide.

For installation on a dedicated server, make sure to first read our Getting started with a dedicated server guide.

Instructions

Once you have installed the operating system, log in to your VPS via SSH, as described in the Getting started with a VPS guide.
If you are using a dedicated server, follow the instructions of our Getting started with a dedicated server guide.

Check your operating system compatibility

Before you begin, make sure that your operating system is compatible. Please check the "Compatibility" section on LinuxGSM.

Install dependencies

On LinuxGSM, go to the "Dependencies" section to install all the necessary dependencies depending on your operating system.

Warning

If you encounter an error of the type: E: Package 'netcat' has no installation candidate, install netcat-traditional with the following command: sudo apt install netcat-traditional.

Install the server

Before you continue, ensure that all dependencies have been installed.

Create a new user

To avoid creating vulnerabilities in your system, create a user named "pwserver" that will perform the server actions:

~$ sudo adduser pwserver

For security reasons, enter a strong password.

You will be asked to provide several additional information. Press the Enter{.action} key to confirm.

Once you have created a new user, switch to it:

~$ sudo su - pwserver

Download linuxgsm.sh

To download linuxgsm.sh, run the following commands:

~$ curl -Lo linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh && bash linuxgsm.sh pwserver

Launch the installation

To complete the server installation, run the following command:

~$ ./pwserver install

Follow the instructions on the screen and press the Enter{.action} key to confirm.

Warning

It is possible that an error of the type missing dependencies: distro-info libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 netcat-openbsd is displayed. In this example, it is indicated that the distro-info libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 netcat-openbsd dependencies are missing and must be installed manually.

Switch to your sudo user with the su - <user> command. Install the missing dependencies with the command: sudo apt install distro-info libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 netcat-openbsd. Switch back to your pwserver user and run the installation again: ./pwserver install

Your Palworld-compatible server is now installed on your OVHcloud server. Now it's up to you to play the game!

For a list of available commands, see the "Basic Usage" section of LinuxGSM.
