Linux commands<\/a> and prefer more control and customization over their server, you can set up a Conan Exiles server manually, as well.<\/p>In this section, we’ll guide you through the process of configuring your server from scratch, giving you full access to advanced settings and greater flexibility.<\/p>
1. Prepare your VPS<\/h3>
Before starting the setup process, ensure your VPS is updated and ready. You’ll need administrative (root) access to perform the installation.<\/p>
Use SSH as the root user to connect to your VPS and run the following commands to update your system:<\/p>
sudo apt update\nsudo apt upgrade<\/pre>You’ll also need some basic utilities for the server setup. Install the necessary dependencies:<\/p>
sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 wget screen<\/pre>2. Install Wine<\/h3>
Since Conan Exiles requires Wine to run its Windows-based server files, you’ll need to follow these steps to install Wine <\/strong>on Ubuntu:<\/p>\n- Enable 32-bit architecture<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<\/pre>\n- Add the Wine repository<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
sudo mkdir -pm755 \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\nsudo wget -O \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/winehq-archive.key https:\/\/dl.winehq.org\/wine-builds\/winehq.key\nsudo wget -NP \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/ https:\/\/dl.winehq.org\/wine-builds\/ubuntu\/dists\/$(lsb_release -cs)\/winehq-$(lsb_release -cs).sources<\/pre>\n- Update your repositories<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
sudo apt update<\/pre>\n- Install Wine<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable<\/pre>\n- Verify Wine installation<\/strong>: Check the installed version of Wine to make sure it’s set up correctly:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
wine --version<\/pre>3. Download and install SteamCMD<\/h3>
SteamCMD is the tool used to download and manage the Conan Exiles server files. Follow these steps to set up SteamCMD <\/strong>on your VPS:<\/p>\n- Create a directory for SteamCMD<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
mkdir ~\/steamcmd\ncd ~\/steamcmd<\/pre>\n- Download SteamCMD<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
wget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz<\/pre>\n- Extract the SteamCMD archive<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz<\/pre>\n- Run SteamCMD<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
.\/steamcmd.sh<\/pre>4. Download Conan Exiles server files<\/h3>
With the SteamCMD installation complete, the next step is to download the Conan Exiles server files. Here’s how:<\/p>
\n- Log in to SteamCMD anonymously<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
login anonymous<\/pre>\n- Set the installation directory<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>
force_install_dir ~\/conanexiles_server\/<\/pre>
In this example, the directory we set is conanexiles_server<\/strong>.<\/p>\n- Download the server files<\/strong>:
Currently, the Conan Exiles server files have a Steam App ID 440900. That being said, you should always make sure the correct ID is used when you’re setting up your server. You can find a Steam App ID on SteamDB<\/a> or directly on the Steam Store by locating the app.
Download the server files using the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>app_update 440900 validate<\/pre>
This command will download the necessary files for the Conan Exiles server into the specified directory. The process may take a while depending on your connection speed.<\/p>
5. Set server configurations<\/h3>
Once the server files are downloaded, you’ll need to adjust the configuration to suit your server preferences. The key configuration files can be found in:
<\/p>
~→conanexiles_server→ConanSandbox→Saved→Config→WindowsServer<\/strong><\/p>\n
