Valheim Status Monitor

vhstatus provides a status page for a dedicated Valheim server. It shows a list of online and offline players. To run it you'll need Node.js and access to the server log file.

I found this repo looking for a simple status page to attach to my simple running Valheim server. I love how simple it is, but I want it to do more so I forked it with the intention to make the following upgrades:

• introduce sqllite so everyone sees the same user list
• convert the config.js to env vars
• add an optional name map so we can see our own names next to our character names
• add a Discord integration to post updates in our server
• add more things to catch in the logs, like raid events starting
• enhance the UI
• host a public docker image so you don't need to build to run it
• enhance the readme to make it easier to install
• probably more once I get into it (maybe gamedig one day idk)

To install and run

Copy and edit config.json.example to config.json with your server name, path to server log and optional update frequency and port.

cp config.json.example config.json
vi config.json
npm install
npm run start

Now access the status page on, e.g., http://localhost:3000
