Self-Hosted Palworld Server Platform https://zachle.info/portfolio/2026/palworld-server-showcase/ Tue, 14 Jul 2026 18:00:00 -0700 https://zachle.info/portfolio/2026/palworld-server-showcase/ A self-hosted Palworld game server for a ~200-member Discord community: Proxmox and LGSM, a restart-vote Discord bot, offsite backups, a Docker Compose stack, a public status page, and the dependency map and knowledge graph used to keep it all honest. Self-Hosting Palworld, Part 3: Going Public https://zachle.info/blog/2026/self-hosted-palworld-part-3/ Tue, 14 Jul 2026 14:00:00 -0700 https://zachle.info/blog/2026/self-hosted-palworld-part-3/ Mapping every hardcoded dependency, splitting a 900-line file into a Docker Compose stack, building a status page that’s structurally incapable of becoming a DDoS vector, an uptime tracker, and closing the last plaintext hop with a Cloudflare Origin CA cert. Self-Hosting Palworld, Part 2: Bot and Backups https://zachle.info/blog/2026/self-hosted-palworld-part-2/ Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:00:00 -0700 https://zachle.info/blog/2026/self-hosted-palworld-part-2/ A player-initiated restart bot, offsite backups to an OpenMediaVault NAS, and the parade of ordinary bugs, a discord.py sync gotcha, a UTC/Pacific offset, a scheduling collision, that came with making both of them actually reliable. Self-Hosting Palworld, Part 1: Foundation and Digging In https://zachle.info/blog/2026/self-hosted-palworld-part-1/ Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:00:00 -0700 https://zachle.info/blog/2026/self-hosted-palworld-part-1/ Standing up a self-hosted Palworld server on Proxmox for a ~200-member Discord community: planning, LGSM setup scripts, a two-attempt port change, and the config gotchas that came with all of it.
