Setting up Don't Starve Together on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

[BioGears]

Hello! 

 

I have been doing some research into trying to host my own DST server and my studio has decided they want to play DST... together. 

 

We have an AWS server and I've heard that you can set up DST on it, but I'm not sure how to do it. 

 

I know it might involve a Linux EC2 instance and that's about all I know. 

 

If anyone has experience setting up and using DST with AWS and can give me an estimate on how much it costs to play, I'd love to hear it! 

 

Thanks and have a great weekend! 

 

Enjoy those White Elephant Parties & Shipwrecked.

The easiest way would be to use this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dontstarve/comments/3pe2iy/vagrant_config_for_dst/ or this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dontstarve/comments/3pe2iy/vagrant_config_for_dst/ 

 

(Assuming they work, I haven't used either before.)  I have used vagrant before and it makes spinning up preconfigured instances super easy.

As for the amazon config, you just need to make a security group that exposes the ports (UDP 10999 and maybe another if you're running caves) and that's pretty much it. We run Rhymes with Klei off a c4.large instance with two dedicated server processes running on it.
