# Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server on AWS
|
||||
|
||||
This CloudFormation template deploys a dedicated server for the game *Don't Starve Together* on AWS. The setup includes a VPC, a subnet, an EC2 instance configured for the DST server, and appropriate networking configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. **AWS CLI**: Ensure you have the AWS CLI installed and configured.
|
||||
2. **Key Pair**: Replace `myserverkey` with the name of an existing EC2 key pair in your AWS account to access the instance.
|
||||
3. **IAM Permissions**: Your AWS user needs permissions to deploy CloudFormation stacks and create EC2, VPC, and related resources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Resources Created
|
||||
|
||||
- **VPC**: A Virtual Private Cloud for network isolation.
|
||||
- **Subnet**: A subnet within the VPC.
|
||||
- **Security Group**: Allows necessary ports for the DST server and SSH access from a specific IP range.
|
||||
- **Internet Gateway and Route Table**: Provides internet access to the subnet.
|
||||
- **EC2 Instance**: An Ubuntu-based instance running the DST dedicated server.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Group Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
| Protocol | Ports | Purpose | IP Range |
|
||||
|----------|---------|--------------------------------------|--------------------|
|
||||
| UDP | 11000-11001, 27018-27019, 8768-8769 | Game server ports for Master and Caves shards | 0.0.0.0/0 |
|
||||
| TCP | 22 | SSH for server access | Your IP range |
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the key pair name mentioned above, the AMI ID, the instance type, the SSH IP range, and the variables `CLUSTER_NAME`, `CLUSTER_DESCRIPTION`, `CLUSTER_PASSWORD`, `CLUSTER_KEY`, `ADMIN_ID`, `TOKEN`, and world generation settings in the `dst.yml` file to match your requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
To deploy the stack:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name DST-Server-Stack --template-body dst.yml --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
To delete the stack:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name DST-Server-Stack
|
||||
```
