Create PalWorld server on Linux

Reference to creating-a-cheap-palworld-dedicated-server

In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to set up a PalWorld dedicated server.

Prerequisites

• A Linux-based system

• • Docker installed on your system

• • Basic knowledge of command-line operations

Step 1: Download the Docker Image

docker pull thijsvanloef/palworld-server-docker:latest

Step 2: Configure and Run the Docker Container

run the PalWorld server container using the following command:

docker run -d \
    --name palworld-server \
    -p 8211:8211/udp \
    -p 27015:27015/udp \
    -v ./palworld:/palworld/ \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e PORT=8211 \
    -e PLAYERS=16 \
    -e MULTITHREADING=true \
    -e RCON_ENABLED=true \
    -e RCON_PORT=25575 \
    -e TZ=UTC \
    -e ADMIN_PASSWORD="adminPasswordHere" \
    -e SERVER_PASSWORD="worldofpals" \
    -e COMMUNITY=false \
    -e SERVER_NAME="palworld-server-docker by Thijs van Loef" \
    -e SERVER_DESCRIPTION="palworld-server-docker by Thijs van Loef" \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --stop-timeout 30 \
    thijsvanloef/palworld-server-docker:latest

Params explain

    •    -d runs the server in detached mode, freeing up your terminal.
    •    --name palworld-server assigns a distinct name to the container.
    •    -p 8211:8211/udp and -p 27015:27015/udp map the necessary UDP ports from the container to your host machine.
    •    -v ./palworld:/palworld/ sets a volume linking a host system directory to a corresponding directory within the container.
    •    The --restart unless-stopped flag ensures the server resumes operation after unexpected shutdowns or reboots.
    •    --stop-timeout 30 is a grace period for the server to shut down cleanly before Docker forces it to stop.

Step 3: Check the Running Server

Ensure everything is working as expected by checking the container’s logs:

docker logs -f palworld-server
