A Discord bot named Huginn was created to automate the management of a Valheim server, allowing for easier server control and notifications.
The bot, running on Node.js, triggered bash commands through Discord, providing functionalities like starting, shutting down the server, and remotely accessing in-game commands via RCON.
Despite initial success, the project faced issues due to hardware failure, leading to the bot being discontinued temporarily after transitioning from Linux to Windows.
The project provided insights into Node.js, server hosting, automation, and the importance of good hardware, with plans for a future version of the Huginn bot with enhanced features.
