Linux Version

[theCrius]

I know it's in the plans, where it's better to get notified when a Linux version will be available? Even just an issue here (even this one) to which anyone can just subscribe would be fantastic, Thanks!

[Avi0n]

@khct or any other dev, I suggest locking this issue to Collaborators only until a Linux version is shipped. Those who would like a Linux server version (myself included) can simply add a reaction to the issue.

Any update on this?

Folks! The situation is not that bad:

• @Ponjimon has provided a great docker image, which runs on linux. Yes, it's wine, but it works smoothly. Link to his image: https://github.com/Ponjimon/vrising-docker
• I've created repo to deploy the docker image from @Ponjimon on Hetzner Cloud (using hcloud cli): https://github.com/earthquakesan/v-rising-server-dedicated
• I've also created a YouTube video on how to use the repo. Overall costs of running your own dedicated server is around 11 Euros per month. If you just set it up over weekend and then shut down - it will be around 1 Euro.

The linux native server will help the situation, but there is a working solution right now, which is easy to setup and it just works.

Tomorrow is the Gloomrot official release. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1604030/view/3701440227923030413

I'm really hoping we are pleasantly surprised with official/native dedicated server support for Linux. 🤞

[IceOfWraith]

I wouldn't get your hopes up. It works completely fine on Wine so there's not much demand anymore.

That's most likely what I'll set up tomorrow but a man can dream. 😋

Just because it supposedly runs well on "Wine" doesn't mean it runs better on Linux, which it definitely would, especially in terms of performance/debugging.

[IceOfWraith]

That comment wasn't intended to spark the debates that have already happened. It was just to set realistic standards. There's pros/cons to making a Linux native release and those are already known. I was just referring to the amount of demand.

as i know, there will be no Native Linux Server released

[IceOfWraith]

The devs just literally released a DLC today. They aren't lazy, they just have priorities like any developer should. You should be embarrassed torrenting a well-made game.

It's very ironic to not support the development by buying the game then complain that you don't get a feature implemented.

Not to mention, there's a viable option, for those who aren't lazy. ;)

[Marvel0us7]

No demand for a Linux version? That must be why every gameserver host has V Rising in their portfolio....

Wine adds resource overhead and what's more important is another layer that can add failures. No big issue on a small scale, definitely one with big hosting companies.

[gehnster]

releasing a linux version from Unity is a matter of clicking on a checkbox

stop defending them

Maybe you should stop talking about something you obviously don't know about. The devs ALREADY mentioned the reason they can't release a linux version is because the version of the Entity Component System has a bug in it for the version of Unity they developed the game on (2020.3 for your reference). In order to be able to do a linux release they'd have to update the ECS version they use, which isn't necessarily fast and not necessarily worth their time right now because it adds no new gameplay to a game and it already works for them how it is. So no it isn't a click of a button because they've already tried that, hence why they know the bug exists preventing them from releasing a linux version.

[IceOfWraith]

Large hosting companies also aren't suffering from the slight overhead of Wine. I work closely with the gaming community and they don't struggle because of that. That's just false information. The reality is that this should probably be locked since there's nothing else to discuss that brings anything new. And the game server works on Linux fine.

[1notea]

Hello community Is there a detailed guide on YouTube on how to install a server on Ubuntu. I tried to understand @Ponjimon's guide, but for some reason my weak pc-server refuses to start ( Although with Win 10 before the game update, the server worked good

[theakrismer]

Any update on this? Man I sure would love to see a linux version in the near future

[taro222]

They made a pin on their discord, that native linux dedicated files are not on their priority list. Ofc thats sad, but its an honest answer and we do not need to wait anymore.

[chrizdekok]

I give up. I have been waiting for a proper server linux version since the game released. Me and my friend has spent count less hours into Minecraft and Valheim with no hassle with the server so I have been hoping for the same here. I have been trying to follow guides to make the V Rising servern run in a docker etc. but without luck. Also found a lot of fake guides that just made your server vulnerable and/or installed shady stuff. So I give up on this game because of this :/

[Hedrauta]

i do use my AMP's docker image of wine to get the vrising-Server started...

Works so far.... but it's really sad, that there's no linux-dedi-server-files.

[Nezteb]

This trailer came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_IiRt9Als

Full game release on May 8th 2024! Congrats on the announcement!

My concern: I've paid for three different V Rising G-Portal hosted servers, and every single time is a nightmare. Like, worse than I would expect from a plain VPS provider like Hetzner. G-Portal with V Rising has consistent issues with syncing server settings, can't do proper backup restores, non-existent support, unwillingness to give refunds based on SLA metrics, etc. To be clear, I speculate most of those issues are because of G-Portal, not the quality of the V Rising Windows server. This is just to say that I feel there is a huge need/desire for a better server hosting experience.

To bring it back to this GH issue, I think the devs should just say plainly "we are not going to do this" and close/lock it. Although I genuinely do not know if any of the people participating in this thread work for Stunlock Studios, or if they read this thread at all. 🤷‍♂️

To end on a positive note, I am hyped for the full release and will attempt once again to self-host with the instructions given in this repo. 😄

Any news for 1.0 linux server?

[IceOfWraith]

Was waiting for this. Lol

[gOOvER]

Any news for 1.0 linux server?

works like charm with wine, so why a linux server

[Tommiiee]

We should hopefully have the Linux version of the V Rising Dedicated Server available "soon".

2 year update 🤞

[DrakorissVere]

+1 for linux dedicated server. p.s.: it's weird not to have one

[Hedrauta]

If it would be run via mono, it wouldn't hurt that much. But wine? Which is still getting updates, but we can't rely on sustainability with it.

[jpmarcotte]

Hey all, I fully get wanting a native version (I do as well, it's why I keep following this thread), however:

Please read previous posts before commenting about how it's "weird they don't have one", or "they should just say they aren't doing it", or wondering if they even read this thread, etc. They've said why they don't have one yet here: https://github.com/StunlockStudios/vrising-dedicated-server-instructions/issues/1#issuecomment-1129496258

It's clearly both a) on their radar, and b) not a major priority because existing solutions are working great for lots of people and they've been prioritizing actually making and releasing the game, and they've said so already: https://github.com/StunlockStudios/vrising-dedicated-server-instructions/issues/1#issuecomment-1857323333

The Wine options aren't official; if you want it on something other than wine, go make one yourself like multiple others above did when they created the Wine version.

The fact of the matter is that existing solutions DO work. but the endless complaining when they've already addressed things doesn't help make it done faster and doesn't add anything to the conversation.

Some alternative ways to be helpful:

• Set up a Wine server and come back with performance documentation proving why it's not good enough for your use-case.
• Set up multiple servers, using the multiple options that people have had success with and linked to above and contrast their performance issues so we know which one is best.
• Create something that runs on something other than Wine and share it with the group
• Go play the game; it's fun.
• Go play a different game and come back once the devs have had a chance to relax post-release after fixing initial bugs, dealing with the initial launch stress that happens with every game, and have had the opportunity to settle into further optimization and engine upgrade passes (which are going to be necessary for the linux server).

Have fun and keep tinkering!

[FIGBird]

It actually isn't very clear if this is still on the radar of the developers. The comments you cited are from years ago, and they have been silent since. All there is to support that statement is that the request is still open.

I understand priority, I also understand the level of effort to update a game engine, and I understand how to be patient and understanding to the SDLC of a game like this (I have been waiting two years now, after all).

Nonetheless, this is a very natural time to look for an update, and it shouldn't be shunned or attacked. Two years ago we were told soon, obviously priorities have changed since then. With the game being released it is important to focus on blocking issues to people enjoying the game, but it is also a perfect time to revisit this request.

The point being that it isn't a lot of effort to confirm that it is still planned, and if it isn't to summarize the issue posted previously and close this ticket.

All that said, I hope to see the situation addressed and hopefully we get a linux dedicated server.

[kcrg]

Well, I can see updated engine in 1.0 release. It is now Unity 2022.3 LTS, before it was something like 2020.X. I guess now priority have PS5 release.

[grstat]

bump

[gogoout]

Just want to post here in case someone needs it. I managed to run the server on the oracle arm64 instance. I’ve pushed image here: https://hub.docker.com/r/gogoout/vrising-arm64

Amazing work, is this for the pc version only? Is a PS5 version possible? I'd love to have a private PS5 server running in oracle but don't have the docker/wine skills to make it happen.

Edit: I managed to botch a version of your image together with a change to init-server.sh that installs the ps5 version.

[TH3AL3X]

It seems incredible to me that in these two years you have not done what you have said, but if you have been able to release €20 DLC to get more money, well, what a lie.

[luckyzor]

It's true, we didn't had any word from the devs about this, even if is to say is for next year.... Im the meaning time, I'm using a container running wine and it's working really well

Ofc, but how you can put EOS List server? just tell me, because i can't do it, i have ubuntu Server no gui, also they are brain dead totally, and instead of using steam servers they are using his "server list" thats so annoying
