And by “proper” I mean a manageable server with Caves that supports Mods and customization, of course.
The goal was to have a platform-agnostic solution (something that runs in Linux, MacOS or Windows just the same) that would require only a few simple steps to get a proper server up and running. When I was about to setup a dedicated server for myself from scratch for the 4th time, however, I decided to invest some more time instead and work on a reusable easy setup solution. There are several great guides on how to setup dedicated servers for each specific platform, and I’ve used them many times.
