While this package says version 41.65 the newest version from steamcmd will always be downloaded.
While this package attempts to make running a PZ server as easy as possible, several manual steps need to be taken to get a working server:
- You will need to change the passwords in
/etc/project-zomboid/server.conf - You will need to open UDP ports 16261 and 8766 (for Steam, see docs for running a Non-steam server)
Further settings can be configured via:
- Passwords & launch args:
/etc/project-zomboid/server.conf" - Server & game settings (made on first launch):
/opt/project-zomboid-server/Zomboid/Server/servertest*" - JVM settings (RAM):
/opt/project-zomboid-server/ProjectZomboid64.json"
By default, saves will be stored in /opt/project-zomboid-server/Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer/
The best way to edit game settings (servertest* by default) is in game:
Main Menu -> Host -> Manage settings... -> Create New Settings
Copy files saved from the client to the server.
