Veracious Network has published a deployment and management script to allow deploying and administrating a Palworld dedicated server easy and (hopefully) painless. This script has been tested on Debian 12, but should work on Ubuntu.
Quick start:
sudo su -c "bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VeraciousNetwork/Palworld-Linux/main/dist/linux_install_game_palworld.sh)" root
This script will install Palworld Dedicated Server in /home/steam/Palworld/ along with a Python management script manage.py and integration with the operating system's service manager.
Running /home/steam/Palworld/manage.py will present the following interface:
