Odin

Odin is a CLI tool utilized for installing, starting, and stopping [Valheim] servers

Who is odin?

Odin Specific Environment Variables

These are set automatically by Odin; you DO NOT need to set these and only mess with them if you Know what you are doing.

Variable Default Required Description
DEBUG_MODE 0 FALSE Set to 1 if you want a noisy output and to see what Odin is doing.
ODIN_CONFIG_FILE config.json FALSE This file stores start parameters to restart the instance, change if you run multiple container instances on the same host
ODIN_WORKING_DIR $PWD FALSE Sets the directory you wish to run odin commands in and can be used to set where valheim is managed from.

Gotchas

  • Odin relies on Rust. Please install Rust
  • Odin also assumes that you have SteamCMD already installed. Install instructions for SteamCMD.
  • If you have the proper build tools installed you should be able to run Odin on any system.
  • Current Supported Architecture: Unix & Linux based systems.
