Set up an ICARUS dedicated server on Linux

Install HaruHost

On Ubuntu (x86-64), run:

curl -fsSL https://haruhost.com/install.sh | sudo bash

HaruHost installs as a service. Sign in with the QR code it shows in your SSH session, then open the web panel from any browser.

What HaruHost does for you

• Wine and Proton: nothing to install or configure. HaruHost runs the Windows server on Linux for you.
• Docker: on Ubuntu, HaruHost installs and sets up Docker with one click when you create your first server.
• SteamCMD: not needed. HaruHost downloads the server and everything it needs to run, and updates it with one button.
• systemd and screen: not needed. HaruHost runs as a service and keeps the server running without an open SSH session.
• Settings: Manual Config opens ServerSettings.ini and the start file in the browser, with the session name, join and admin passwords, player limit and prospect settings.
• Getting friends in: with the Tunnel, the server shows in the game's dedicated server list at a public address, and friends search its Server Title.
• Players: the Players page shows who is online with their Steam name and keeps a history of when they joined and left.

Step by step

1. Run the install command and sign in.
2. In the web panel, choose Add → New game server, pick your Linux server, then ICARUS.
3. On the Connection step, choose Tunnel, or Ports to use the server's own address.
4. Create the server. If Docker isn't installed yet, HaruHost asks first; press Install, then Create Server.
5. Start the server and send friends the Server Title from the Details tab; see how friends join.

Open the ports

With the Tunnel, nothing needs to be opened. With Ports, open your port range for UDP in your VPS provider's firewall; HaruHost shows it under Devices → Manage device → Network Settings.
