Install

1. Download the norse.sh script using: DIR=$(pwd); rm norse.sh; wget -O norse.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/z3orc/norse/main/norse.sh; chmod +x norse.sh; cd $DIR

3. To start the setup-script just run ./norse.sh setup and follow the instructions.

If the installation was a success, the server should start after the setup-script is finished.

Backup

If you would like to keep your server somewhat safe, you can use:

./norse.sh backup

This will make a mirror of all your save-files and config-files and move them to the backups-directory.

You can also make the process automatic, by using:

crontab -e

and pasting:

@hourly /directory/of/your/server/norse.sh backup

This will backup your server every hour, which might use a lot of disk space.

However, this solution will not make your server data 100-percent secure, this makes your files just a little bit more secure.
