Using another mod is a really nice advice, but sometimes the TDSM seems to be the best way... at least what I heard, feel free to correct me. BUT it seems that TDSM seems to be more... "light" on running than the others? Anyway, got mine from https://github.com/DeathCradle/Terraria-s-Dedicated-Server-Mod
indeed, tdsm used by far the least resources for any server application, but it's really hard to find plugins :|
Hmm seems I will have no fun after all since after adding badgerports.org repository in my sources.list and then doing apt-get update, it seems there is something wrong with the repo, missing packages of mono perhaps... pity. Any experience in that?
