adaliszk/valheim-server repository overview

Clean, fast and standalone Docker & Kubernetes helm deployments.

While there are many other images out there, they tend to fall into the bad habit of using anti-patterns, like using Supervisor and Cron in a single image. The images included here aim to avoid these bad habits, while still offering a full feature-set for managing and monitoring your Valheim Server.

⁠What features do the images have?

• A fully working Valheim Server without the need of steam downloading anything from the internet.
• Using a non-root user to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
• Gracefully stops the server; enables proper saving before shutdown to avoid world corruption.
• Automatic Backup of the world files when the server saves them onto the disk.
• Sanitized server output; say goodbye to the debug noise that is not important!
• Health-checks to monitor the image's basic status
• Companion image for monitoring: adaliszk/valheim-server-monitoring⁠
