Your Valheim server runs on our game panel (Pterodactyl). The first start downloads the game files, which can take several minutes.

Ports
| Port | Protocol | Use |
|---|---|---|
2456 | UDP | Game connection |
2457 | UDP | Steam server list (query) |
2458 | UDP | Reserved by the game |
Your server's assigned ports are shown in the panel and may differ from these defaults.
Backups
World files are stored in the save folder shown in the Files tab (.db and .fwl files). Download both before major updates or mod changes.
Mods
Most Valheim mods need BepInEx. Install it on the server and put the mods in BepInEx/plugins. Players need the same client-side mods.
