Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
• You need to own this game on your Steam account.<\/strong><\/li>\n
• A\u00a0sudo user.<\/strong><\/li>\n
• A Aklweb host Ubuntu 16.04 server instance.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Installing Starbound<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  Before starting, let’s be sure that the system is up-to-date. Then we will create a new user for the server. When prompted, specify a strong, secure password for this user.<\/p>\n

  sudo apt-get update\r\nsudo apt-get upgrade\r\nadduser starbound\r\npasswd starbound\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Let’s also open the necessary firewall port.<\/p>\n
  firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=21025\/tcp --permanent\r\nfirewall-cmd --reload\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Install the system libraries needed to run\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
  sudo apt-get install lib32g\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Switch to the user account that was created earlier.<\/p>\n
  su starbound\r\ncd ~\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Install the\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0software.<\/p>\n
  wget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz\r\ntar xf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Next, we will use\u00a0SteamCMD<\/strong>\u00a0to install the game server files. If your Steam account has Steam Guard enabled, you need to check your email inbox for the login code.<\/p>\n
  .\/steamcmd.sh\r\nlogin YourAccount\r\n*input password and steam guard code*\r\n\r\nforce_install_dir .\/starbound\r\napp_update 211820 validate\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  When the screen reads\u00a0Success! App '211820' fully installed.<\/code>, simply type\u00a0quit<\/code>\u00a0and press\u00a0ENTER<\/kbd>.<\/p>\n
  Your\u00a0Starbound server<\/strong>\u00a0is now installed.<\/p>\n
  Customizing the server<\/strong><\/h3>\n
  Server customization is done by editing the file\u00a0sbboot.config<\/code>. Only change the value after the colon\u00a0:<\/code>.<\/p>\n
  nano ~\/starbound\/linux64\/sbboot.config\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  \n
  On line 47, change\u00a0A Starbound Server<\/code>\u00a0to the server name desired.<\/li>\n
  On line 48, change\u00a08<\/code>\u00a0to the amount of slots desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  Updating your server<\/strong><\/h3>\n
  First, create the file\u00a0update_starbound.txt<\/code>.<\/p>\n
  nano \/home\/starbound\/update_starbound.txt\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Populate it with the following contents.<\/p>\n
  login YourAccount YourPassword\r\nforce_install_dir .\/starbound\r\napp_update 211820\r\nquit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  You can update your server anytime using the following command. Please note that if you have Steam Guard enabled, you will need to enter the code again during the update process.<\/p>\n
  cd ~ && .\/steamcmd.sh +runscript update_starbound.txt\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Running your server<\/strong><\/h3>\n
  To start your server, run these commands.<\/p>\n
  cd \/home\/starbound\/starbound\/linux64\r\nscreen -dmS starbound .\/starbound_server \r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Your server is now running in a screen session. You may shut it down anytime with the following command:<\/p>\n
  screen -S starbound -X quit<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[105,242,247],"manual_kb_tag":[173],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2226"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2226"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2227,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2226\/revisions\/2227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2226"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
