Solved How do I get started with Valheim hosted on Cloudron?

[makemrproper]

Hi

I have not been able to find documentation about this package.

How can I connect to the server after I have set this package up on Cloudron?

Do I buy the game, and then connect to my server instance from within the game? Or is it a manual command line flag where I specify hostname and port?

It would be good with some pointers in the package information, on a wiki here... You know a little more meat on the bone as far as documentation. The game looks great! And it seems like something I'd absolutely would want to try to host myself.

@makemrproper if you install the package as is, then you can just put the IP (as far as I know the game client does not support DNS lookups yet) when connecting to a server.

There is also an option to pass a commandline argument via steam in the LaunchOptions, I don't have my PC handy to look it up, but @BrutalBirdie gave me that tip.

@nebulon Thanks, okay so I buy the game and use it as a client for connecting to my self hosted instance. Got it. Cheers for your ultra quick reponse :).

DNS for direct connect is supported since a few updates if I remember correctly.
Yes you will need the game to play it.
