Linux setup

Setting up with 22.04 Ubuntu

https://tech.palworldgame.com/

Create a user and login.

sudo adduser pwserver
usermod -aG sudo pwserver
su pwserver

Download linuxgsm.sh.

wget -O linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh && bash linuxgsm.sh pwserver

Run the installer following the on-screen instructions.

./pwserver install

start/stop/restart

./pwserver start
./pwserver stop
./pwserver restart

Auto Start

https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/running-on-boot

You need to create a service file in /etc/systemd/system/

Example pwserver.service

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pwserver.service

[Unit]
Description=LinuxGSM Palworld Server
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=ts3server
WorkingDirectory=/home/ts3server
#Assume that the service is running after main process exits with code 0
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/home/ts3server/ts3server start
ExecStop=/home/ts3server/ts3server stop
Restart=no

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You need to reload the systemd-daemon once to make it aware of the new service file by systemctl daemon-reload

Now you can do

systemctl start pwserver # Start the server
systemctl stop pwserver # Stop the server
systemctl enable pwserver # Enable start on boot
systemctl disable pwserver # Disable start on boot
