Termux PalWorld Server (Run PalWorld Server on android and no root required）

readme.md

Run PalWorld Server on Android

Step.1 Install FEXDroid

gametra4u/FEXDroid

curl -o install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamextra4u/FEXDroid/main/install && chmod +x install && ./install

When login into proot, use ./rootfs to download rootfs for FEX.

Step.2 Create Normoal User

Sever is not allow to run as root, so we create a normal Linux user steam:

useradd -m -s /bin/bash steam

And we copy the rootfs to steam's HOME path (or just use mv if you want to save some space):

cp -rf ~/.fex-emu /home/steam/.fex-emu

Step.3 Install SteamCMD

Install SteamCMD:

mkdir /home/steam/Steam
cd /home/steam/Steam
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -

and update it:

su - steam
cd /home/steam/Steam
FEXBash
./steamcmd.sh

if you see steam>, that means things works ok.

Step 4. Install palworld server

this part you can just follow the official document:

./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit

after download success, run it:

cd /home/steam/Steam/steamapps/common/PalServer
./PalServer.sh

you may meet the problem like this:

.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Don't worry, Ctrl+C quit the server, and also follow the offical document:

mkdir -p ~/.steam/sdk64/
cd /home/steam/Steam
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_update 1007 +quit
cp ~/Steam/steamapps/common/Steamworks\ SDK\ Redist/linux64/steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk64/

Restart server again ./PalServer.sh, it will works ok.

Nice guide. I managed to host a Don't Starve Together using this method, though the performance was ass (expectantly, as I did it on an old, low-end phone that was already low-end even when it was released).

Здравствуйте, это руководство не работает. Во-первых, rootfs не запускается корректно, я загружал из основного руководства. Во-вторых, на шаге 3 во время установки появляются ошибки: ./steamcmd.sh: line 20: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
./steamcmd.sh: line 37: /home/steam/Steam/linux32/steamcmd: cannot execute: required file not found

Can you fix it

@Levk39

./steamcmd.sh: line 20: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Can ignore it, my device also reports this error, but it does not affect program execution.

./steamcmd.sh: line 37: /home/steam/Steam/linux32/steamcmd: cannot execute: required file not found

Try executing the following installation command in FEX Emu:
