Valheim - Dedicated Server

Valheim

A brutal exploration and survival game from Iron Gate AB and published by Coffee Stain Publishing for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!

The game was released Feb 2, 2021 and has received very positive reviews on Steam and in C Spire Gaming’s Discord server.

Some college buddies and I first played on a world we’d been passing around via Google Drive. I was then volunteered to host the world on a dedicated server and I wanted to build a small system to check on the status of the server such that I could make it easy for my friends to know its uptime status.

In version 1.14.0 of Uptime Kuma a new feature was introduced which enabled serving new status pages from an existing app instance. Utilizing this, I created valheim.michaellamb.dev which is a status page for our dedicated server.
