Install LinuxGSM DST Server with Caves.md

Ports used

Some of the exact port numbers seem to be different between installations. I'm not sure if any have to be as listed, but those were a working number I used at some point

Port	Description	Place Defined	Open Port	Unique
11000	Overworld server port	Master/server.ini	x	x
11001	Cave server port	Caves/server.ini	x	x
8768	Steam auth port for overworld	Master/server.ini
8769	Steam auth port for cave	Caves/server.ini
27018	Steam master server port for overworld	Master/server.ini		x
27019	Steam master server port for cave	Caves/server.ini		x
10888	Shard master port	cluster.ini		x

As sudoer

sudo su - dstserver

As `dstserver` user

wget -O linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh

./linuxgsm.sh dstserver
./linuxgsm.sh dstserver

mkdir -p ~/lgsm/config-lgsm/dstserver/

Set LinuxGSM installation variables

echo '# Installation Variables
sharding="true"
master="true"
shard="Master" 
cluster="Cluster_1"
cave="false"' >> ~/lgsm/config-lgsm/dstserver/dstserver.cfg

echo '# Installation Variables
sharding="true"

Set cluster token

mkdir -p ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/
echo 'INSERT_CLUSTER_TOKEN' > ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/cluster_token.txt

Install servers

./dstserver install
./dstserver-2 install

Configure DST

mkdir -p ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/Master/
mkdir -p ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/Caves/

Master/server.ini

echo '[NETWORK]
server_port = 11000

[SHARD]
is_master = true

[STEAM]
authentication_port = 8768
master_server_port = 27018

[ACCOUNT]

Caves/server.ini

echo '[NETWORK]
server_port = 11001

[SHARD]

cluster.ini

nano ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/cluster.ini

Change the relevant line to

shard_enabled = true

Set the main shard world type to be forest

echo 'return {
  override_enabled = false,
}' > ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/Master/worldgenoverride.lua

Set the cave shard world type to caves

echo 'return {
  override_enabled = true,
  preset = "DST_CAVE",
}' > ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/Caves/worldgenoverride.lua

Start the servers

./dstserver start
./dstserver-2 start

Adding mods

File	Path	Purpose
dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua	~/serverfiles/mods/	Specify server mods to download next time the server starts
modsettings.lua	~/serverfiles/mods/	Settings for debugging mods
modoverrides.lua	~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/Master/	Specify enabled mods for overworld and their configs
modoverrides.lua	~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_1/Caves/	Specify enabled mods for caves and their configs

Installing Mods

Get workshop ID's of desired mod. To the ~/serverfiles/mods/dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua file, add the following line for each mod.

 ServerModSetup("WorkshopID#")  -- Comments

Enabling Mods on Server

To the Master and Caves shard located at ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/Cluster_#, add a file

 touch modoverrides.lua

and add the following lines

 return {
   ["workshop-WorkshopID1"] = { enabled = true }, -- Mod 1
   ["workshop-WorkshopID2"] = { enabled = true }, -- Mod 2
                       . . .
   ["workshop-WorkshopID(n-1)"] = { enabled = true },  -- Mod (n-1)
   ["workshop-WorkshopIDn"] = { enabled = true } -- Mod n
 }

Notice that commas are required after each mod except the last one. If there is no caves world, this process only needs to be done to the Master shard.

Configuring Mods

Auto-generate a modoverrides.lua file by creating a client hosted server with the server mods included and configuring it through the UI before generating the world. After world generation, extract the modoverrides.lua file from the Klei folder in the documents of your personal machine and replace the files created in the previous step with the auto-generated one.

I've done all the steps, but result of ./dstserver-2 dt has the same ports as ./dstserver dt. Did not try to join in game yet, but is looks strange.

It looks like shard name in dstserver-2 lgsm config is not used. May be it is just bug of 'dt' command. Will check it in this evening.

UPD:

This looks like visual bug of "dt" function. In fact caves works correctly.
Thank you a lot for this guide!

I'm glad you found it helpful! It took a lot of trial and error to figure things out based on existing documentation, so I'm glad you were able to stumble upon this.

I've been struggling with this for a few days on my own trying to get it running on two different machines. I think this setup might help - I'm going to try it tomorrow.

Edit: Got it working in two docker containers, one server on each. The only difference was running the docker containers and then setting bind_ip to 0.0.0.0 and master_ip to the ip of the master server docker container in both cluster.ini files and making sure the files matched. Thank you for the guide!
