You should see "root" at the next returned line after you enter this command.Īfterwards, to see what repos you have available: yum repolist Due to you not needing to install both 32bit libraries and 64bit ones to make zomboid work. If you're 32bit, the installation process will be a lot easier. You should see "x86_64 x86_64 x86_64" at the end of line, congratulations, you're 64bit. Ingredients: Putty, your port 22 access, root and your password, and a centos7 server. ToDo: Append more zomboid server settings and server tools in the future.ĬTRL+C on windows and right click in a putty terminal to paste.Ĭodes will be in boxes like these: EXAMPLE: DOUBLE CLICK SELECT AND COPY ME# These are comments, no need to copy Update: Proof read and All steps recently tested and working on another dedicated server I'm running. Going to format this better tomorrow, it's completed but not looking too pretty. If you can help harden this in more native CentOS 7 options with fail2ban and firewallD, feel free to add your input. because botnets were brute forcing SSH port on day 0, while I was newly acquaintenced to CentOS 7, I didn't have time to learn, so I used what I knew, iptables, with fail2ban. This entire guide ignores CentOS 7 firewallD and uses the old iptables for firewall options. Side Note (I excluded firewallD and replaced it with good ol' iptables): Checks and options for the variations of CentOS are provided, but this guide does not derail into helping 32bit and dedicated server users, hopefully this helps you. If your CentOS is older/newer, tweak are needed for repositories, and libraries. VPS and 64bit dictates the tested environment, while providers of your server can be different from mine, centOS 7 is able to reliably run a project zomboid using the steps provided. I am not responsible if you brick your server, if you're unsure, google first. Read carefully and make informed decisions via copy and paste. If you just got SSH capabilities, a terminal on putty, and centos 7 on a vps/dedi provider, this is for you.
