I had an old intel based chromebook gathering dust and I have been wanting to use it as a small web and maybe gameserver. The C202s has the following specs:
- Intel’s Celeron N3060 - a dual-core SoC running at 1.6GHz
- 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM
This is just enough to run Valhiems dedicated server!
I had to enable development mode (dev mode not actually necessary anymore!) and spin up Chrome’s Linux (Beta)
VM: Crostini. From there I installed GSM and Valheim and forwarded UDP and TCP ports from Chromes Linux settings. I played for about an hour so far with no issues and it’s nice to have a persistent server for others in my household to access. By default it runs Debian Buster so installing stuff is a breeze if you are comfortable with Debian’s apt package manager. Unfortunately Valheim won’t automatically detect the server, so I had to enter the ip and port manually to connect.
