Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server Scripts

English | 中文

This project provides a set of shell scripts to automate the installation, configuration, management, and updating of a Don't Starve Together (DST) dedicated server on Linux.

Forked from cuukenn/dontstarveserver, this project adds mod management and automatic generation of mod setup files. It also improves code readability and introduces multi-language prompts for a better user experience.

Features

• Automated environment setup and dependency installation
• User and permissions management
• Easy server start, stop, restart, and update
• Mod management and auto-generation of mod setup files (newly added)
• Support for both Master and Caves shards
• Cron job support for automatic updates
• Clear logging and configuration
• Multi-language prompt support (English/Chinese)

Quick Start

1. Clone or copy this repository to your server.
2. Edit config/config.properties to match your environment and preferences.
3. Run the setup script as root or with sudo:

   ./setup.sh

4. Create a save with mods in your local machine and move it to the server

   # For example use scp command to move saves and modes:
   scp -r <CLUSTER_PATH>/ <DST_USER>@<HOST>:~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/
   

5. Switch to the DST user and start the server:

   su <DST_USER>
   cd ~/<DST_SCRIPT_PATH>
   ./start.sh
