For a simple, default server setup, open ports 7777/UDP, and 27015/UDP in your firewall.

Port=7777 (game data)
QueryPort=27015 (Steam queries)

Be sure to run the server (StartServer.bat) once, so it can generate the initial config files!

It is best to combine this configuration with the batch file setup here (so add the ConanSandboxServer.exe params to a new start.bat file instead)!

Introduction

In this example, we'll be patching /Library/Extensions/NVDAStartupWeb.kext/Contents/Info.plist, replacing any occurrences of <string>17B1003</string> with <string>17C88</string>, allowing us to enable the Nvidia Web Driver on "unsupported" versions of macOS, such as newly released updates, without having to wait for an updated driver to become available.

It's very important to note that there are actually two spaces in the replacement value (Markdown doesn't display them correctly), as the character lengths of both values must always match. In this case it made more sense to add the spaces before rather than after, as they're most likely to already exist in the original Info.plist.

Encoding

This shows how you can encode both values to a base64 encoded string, which is the format that'll end up in the patch itself.

Installing IPAs on Apple Silicon (M1)

Open Apple Configurator 2 and plug in your iPhone or iPad
Click Add, login to the App Store and select the application you want to install
Open up ~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets and wait until the TemporaryItems directory appears
Copy the application from the newly created temporary directory, but do note that it will disappear once Apple Configurator is done installing
Double click the .ipa on your Apple Silicon (M1) device and install it
Fix permissions on the installed application by running sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<your_app>.app (if you skip this step, you're unable to start the application)

Note that it's easier if you already have the application installed, as Apple Configurator will prompt you about overwriting the existing installation, at which point the temporary file (the .ipa) will still exist, until you choose an action in the prompt.

NOTICE: This guide is no longer relevant, as a lot has changed over time and Go supports Apple Silicon natively just fine now!

Compile Go for Apple Silicon (M1)

Follow these short instructions on how to compile Go for Apple Silicon (M1). From here on out, we may simply refer to it as the "ARM device".

This entire process should only take about 5-10 minutes, but please read through everything carefully, in order to avoid any potential issues along the way.

Note that at the time of writing this, Go was not yet officially available for Apple's ARM.

What is the purpose of this guide?

I originally wanted to create bootable disks for UEFI (i)PXE booting, meaning I could directly boot premade disk images over the network, no matter what they may contain.

While this guide serves my purpose well, it's also generic enough to be extended to almost any use case. For example, you might use it as temporary or even portable storage, mountable across different operating systems, or you might use it as a disk image for a virtual machine.

DISCLAIMER: Be very careful with the commands listed below, as you could potentially not only cause data loss, but even prevent your operating system from booting, no matter how unlikely either of those may be. Pay attention to the commands, comments and differences between the guide and your local environment.
