Implementing Systemd Socket Activation for Valheim Dedicated Server

Posted on .

This is a post about how I set up the Valheim dedicated server for socket activation with Systemd, so that it can be started and shut down on demand. This helps it use less resources, keeping the server and the environment happier. If you just want to grab the codes, you might skip directly to the repository, but keep in mind that it requires understanding of Systemd and Linux system administration.
