How to use Valheim launch script generator?

A Valheim server is started with command-line parameters. This tool builds a readable launch script (start_server.sh / start_server.bat), one parameter per line, ready to save.

  1. Pick your system (Linux or Windows), then enter name, ports and player count.

  2. Replace the example passwords with long, unique ones.

  3. Download start_server.sh / start_server.bat and put it in <server-dir>/.

  4. On Linux make it executable (chmod +x) and run it; on Windows double-click it.
