Linux Dedicated Server Binaries
For me and I suspect a few others, one of the most painful things about hosting dedicated servers is Windows itself and it's tooling etc... I do it when I have to, but if I can avoid it, I will 😄
I've always wished there was the option of a Linux server binary for SE1, but that never came. There were some community efforts to make this happen over the years and I believe I did once have it working in Docker through Wine, as have others. However, this is always flakey and could break with any update.
I'd like to beg for the creation of a native Linux server binary, the community can handle Docker-ising it if they wish, I'm sure of that. I would do it myself anyway and share that publicly if it hadn't already been done 😅.
I know multiplayer is still currently quite far down the roadmap, but I'm hoping if this gains traction early enough, it might be considered 🙏.
Thank you for a great game! I'm looking forward to many more adventures in SE2.
This is an absolute MUST in these years. Linux Server should be natively supported.

I guess this would depend on just how much of DX12 us used for the standalone server. If it's not too difficult, I'd be down for it, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

This is a must for me. Windows is a resource hog, and is annoying to work with.

A WINE container is not the solution. It's a bandaid and I don't want to maintain it anymore because SEDS has issues with running headless. A good middle road is a WEB interface.

This is a must have feature. I have cancelled my windows server because the licences have become too expensive.
I only had a windows machine cause of SE1.
We need a Linux dedicated server.

I agree 100% for the linux server binaries
If y'all are interested in playing on linux too then vote on this one as well!

I agree, this would be a good thing. There is a very good reason that the majority of servers worldwide run Linux.

To add to this. KSH,
I think it's best to simply release (monolithic) headless linux binaries for modern environments (deb12, rhel9), let the community work on packaging and containerising it and endorse the best 1 or 2

not being able to run a dedicated server for se1 was painful as steam can be such a headache sometimes.
a dedicated server for se2 would be so useful

Confirm a functioning steam was super deal breaker for an actual server install.
I generally dislike docker, but would have no problem building a vm dedicated to a single docker container of this.
