mmyers Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Greetings! Does anyone here think it's possible to run a dedicated Terraria server on Johnny? Here's some of the info: Terraria Server on Linux:http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1949551 Terraria Server Wiki:http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Guide:Setting_up_a_Terraria_server I currently host my dedicated Terraria server locally on a headless Ubuntu server, it'd be nice to run it somewhere remotely at no cost and to take the burden off of my home network. The game is fairly basic and the client needs to have Terraria to play so it doesn't need much for resources. If I'm vastly off base but you know of a decent place to host a Terraria server that's free or low cost, I'm open to any suggestions as well. Thanks for any suggestions or comments.

wolstech Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We don't support custom server software, so that's not gonna run here. Even if it did, the firewall would block it from being publicly accessible anyway. You're not gonna find many places where you can host it for free (except possibly a game host that might have a limited free plan). A linux VPS with 4GB of RAM (probably even less would be fine) and decent disk space would do this easily, and I've seen them go for as little as ~$10/month.

mmyers Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Makes total sense. I had a feeling I was off base. A friend of mine had suggested Digital Ocean which I may look into. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
