Setting up Game Servers: Factorio
AKA: How to port forward
Friday, April 16, 2021 · 5 - 7 PM
Virtual
Hi all.
We couldn't think of a meeting idea for this week so we're just going to play Factorio instead.
Wait no, don't close the tab. We'll be demoing how to run a simple Factorio multiplayer server on a headless Linux box, and maybe install it as a systemd service. Then we'll demonstrate how to open up the firewall, and how to set up port forwarding on both pfSense and EdgeRouter. Fun for the whole family.
If you don't have Factorio, don't worry about it, we have a solution prepared.
By the way, UMDCTF starts tonight! Cyberdawgs is competing there. For anyone interested in trying out CTF (capture the flag) this is a great opportunity. Please join the Cyberdawgs Discord and check the #announcements channel for instructions on joining the team. We might spend a few minutes on that tonight as well.
