I haven't gone more than twenty seconds into the video and I just need to say *thank you* for ensuring people do the most important step first of setting up billing alerts.
Dude you are the man! That was super clear and easy to follow! That probably would have been a several hour project that you just reduced to 15 minutes! Thank you!
The instructions work great to get going! I may have set something up wrong but after my server runs a while it will crash consistently, and then I cant SSH in anymore even after restarting the instance. I can follow the instructions and start a new instance just fine, but once mine crashes I cant ssh back in to find out what is happening. I did notice a big spike in cpu (and several other things) right before it happened. I wonder if i need more CPU?
Hey just an update here. Not sure if I missed it in the video but if you want to be able to ssh back in to your ec2 instance you also have to open up port 22 for TCP during step 12 with `sudo ufw allow 22/tcp`
Thanks for the tutorial!. Just for security... on minute 11:49 the password is for the "admin" user of the server, is not related to the SSH connection. I mean, if you put a simple password anyone can simply connect to your server as admin only with the user "admin" and password "password".
most of the steps shown somehow are similar to those in GCP but i'm hitting the wall here, i couldn't connect to my VM instance in GCP, i already enabled the ufw in the vm but still the game won't let me in. either the firewall in gcp or other idk how to debug, i'm using the free students credits, enablibg logging and all that is not an option to debug. do you have any idea?
Heya. I discovered that after you run your server the first time, it should generate a "Zomboid" folder somewhere in your server. Inside it would have all the server configuration files (like server.ini and world configurations). server.ini files is kinda confusing but the quickest way is to modify it is to try to host a local zomboid server (using the zomboid client). This would generate the same server configurations as the ones in your server. After that, just try to copy over the contents into your server configuration (using vim or nano).
when you shut down the ec2 instance and restart it, does your progress get reset or does it retain the save file? also can you install mods using this method?
hello me and my friends do this in AWS c5.xlarge instance while we are playing it keeps disconnecting from the server. like 20-30 min of playing then we will be disconnected. what do you think the problem sir? thankss
16h per week (Amazon) and 20$ vs. 168h per week (24/7 running other server) and 30$, and you're saying Amazon is cheaper option??? Well at least now I know it is way too expensive to be a game server
Any idea on what could I check, if when I run the cmd "login anonymous", I just get "Connecting anonymously to Steam Public..." and it stays there forever :D

You deserve more views this is laid out so well and you are very knowledgeful
Thank you :)
Make sure you set up an Elastic ip address. So when you restart your server you don't have to enter a new ip address.
Just note that it incurs cost when your server is stopped if you set this up
This tutorial is a hidden jewel❤

what do you recommend then? aside from hoster that just buying bulk hardwares and sell their flaky dashboards.
@@cryptoboy8225 just google, there are many options like Nitrado etc
nice video!
Hey can you make a tutorial using google cloud?
I'm not familiar with GCP but I could try haha
@@rabestudios yea please can you make it hehe
Can you make for windows please?
Hi Rabe, how are you?
I also work with aws.
I did this same procedure, but I can't make my server appear in the internet tab, do you know why?
Any idea on what could I check, if when I run the cmd "login anonymous", I just get "Connecting anonymously to Steam Public..." and it stays there forever :D
how can install mods?
How much does this cost?
It depends on how long you use it. It's around $0.23 per hour
@@rabestudios so $5 a day?
Just a heads up, I think you leaked your IP
