Installing steamCMD and game servers ... anyone done this before?

  • So i was interested in installing steam on my openmediavault machine in order to host an arma 3 server, however when i serached this forum, theres no information about how to install steam or steamCMD, so i was just wondering if anyone has tried this before and possibly could help me set this up correctly?


    anyway i googled a bit and tried to figure out how to install steam and arma 3 server on linux and found this:


    https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux


    and more specific installation for arma 3:


    https://community.bistudio.com…uctions_.28Linux_o.2Fs.29


    has anyone done this before or am i the only one that thinks it would be cool to run gameservers on my openmediavault pc?


    ps. if this is the wrong place to put this, can i mod pls move it then?

  • I'm running a Starbound server with SteamCMD. You more or less only have to follow the guide you posted. The only thing you may have to do except that is to run dpkg --add-architecture i386 and install appropriate packages.

  • i have been trying for quite some hours now to run arma 3 wastelands server with mysql extensions, but i need GLIBC_2.17+ to do this ...


    is it possible to install GLIBC_2.17+ without breaking the installation?


    edit:
    nvm, i think i got it now... :D
