Install the server

Register the server#

1. Sign in on app.nodeworldvr.com and open My servers, then Create a server.
2. Follow the steps: Name, Description, Cover, Region, then Settings:
   • List publicly: your server shows in Explore for every player;
   • Allow home hosting: NodeWorld may send players' home worlds to your server (after an admin approves it).
3. The last step, Credentials, shows the Server ID and the Server token. Copy both now: the token is shown only once. Install the server, under them, opens this page.

If you lose the token, open the server in My servers and choose Rotate token: the old token stops working at once, and you put the new one in the server's configuration.

Download the package#

Download the package of your system from the link you were given. Each is a single folder, NodeWorld-Server, with the server and its FL# runtime:

Then follow the page of your system: Linux, Windows, Raspberry Pi.

The first start#

The first time, the server creates Config/server-config.yaml next to itself and runs its setup assistant: paste the Server ID and the token, keep the public address it finds, let it open the port and install the service. Then add your worlds.

The server stops with Ctrl+C. Its exit code says why it stopped:

Launch options:

• --config <file> reads another configuration file instead of Config/server-config.yaml;
• --debug writes the debug logs too;
• --setup runs the setup assistant again; its other options set the server up without a console (setup assistant).
