## Common questions

### Why does first start take several minutes?

The first start downloads about 1 GB of server files, so watch the container log until you see Game server connected.

### Which ports do I need to forward to play over the internet?

Forward UDP 2456-2457 on your router to the Unraid server.

### Can I install mods from a Thunderstore or r2modman profile?

Yes, paste the profile code or list mods by name or link. BepInEx and all dependencies are installed for you.

### If I change the world name, is the old world deleted?

No, changing WORLD_NAME starts a new world. Old worlds stay in saves/.

### What are the rules for the server password?

It must be at least 5 characters and should not be part of the server name.

### Does the automatic update restart the server while players are online?

It checks Valheim and mods in the background, waits until nobody is online, backs up the world, then restarts with the new versions.
