# Terraria dedicated server

Starting and managing terraria dedicated server.  These scripts are designed to

run on Linux to make it easy for hosting a dedicated server.

# Download dedicated server

    ./download-dedicated-server.sh

Which uses [yml-install-files][yml-install-files] to download via

[`terraria.yaml`](terraria.yaml).

[yml-install-files]: https://github.com/samrocketman/yml-install-files

# Launch your server

    ./terraria.sh

# Optional Setup server configuration

Create `serverconfig.txt` at the root of this repository.

# Start the server

The end goal is to play terraria on the dedicated server.  A script has been

conveniently provided to start the dedicated server.

    ./terraria.sh

It will start Terraria in the foreground.  Type `help` to see commands available

inside of the dedicated server.  Type `exit` to exit the dedicated server.

# Pro tips

### Updating dedicated server

[`download-dedicated-server.sh`][2] is designed to always download the latest

dedicated server from [terraria.org][1].  To update, simply run the script

again.

Update to latest:

    ./download-dedicated-server.sh

### Run inside of screen

Run the dedicated server inside of a [screen session][3].

### Reuse a world generated from Steam

Steam typically stores worlds in:

    "${HOME}"/.local/share/Steam/userdata/*/*/remote/worlds/*.wld

To find where your world lives execute the following find command:

    find "${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/userdata" -type f -name '*.wld'

I tend to also symlink the `remote` directory to saves.  e.g.

    ln -s $HOME/.local/share/Steam/userdata/.../remote ./saves

That makes it quickly accessible.
