## Description

This is a Docker-based dedicated server for the Viking survival game Valheim. It runs as a container on user-managed hardware, providing automated game server management including Steam-powered downloads, periodic backups of worlds, optional modding via BepInEx or ValheimPlus, cross-platform play support through PlayFab integration, and process supervision via Supervisor. The server connects to Steam's matchmaking (or PlayFab when crossplay is enabled) so players can discover and join games.
