Is possible to run the server on a complete separate computer without Stardew valley installed? #11

Hi, I have an old computer with Ubuntu and Docker that I use as my personal server. I would like to know if it is possible to host a Stardew Valley server on it, something similar to Minecraft dedicated server, without having the game installed. Thanks!

Yes, the Docker container downloads the game files for the server automatically, so no need to manually install the game.

However, you will need a Steam account with 2FA disabled for the automatic download. Once downloaded, the steam account is no longer needed and could be removed/secured with 2FA again.

And yup, it's a dedicated standalone server similar to Minecraft servers - but please keep in mind that it's currently in alpha release (need to update the readme) and thus comes with quite a few bugs.

PS: It might be heavy on the CPU since it still runs the full game under the hood, so quite curious to hear about your experience on an older machine!
