I'm sorry ask question for this
but I'm curious if this project supports Linux. If I need to compile it myself, could you teach me how?
thank you

There is no native Linux support currently, but we do support Wine/Proton.

Is native Linux something that's planned by any chance?

I run a Pterodactyl setup for multiple game servers which utilises docker, meaning all the game servers are the Linux versions. So there's no way around this with wine for people like me!

By chance, I looked at some of the forks that people have made recently and there is a Linux fork so perhaps eventually there will be a PR made adding Linux support.

Also yes, you should be able to use wine if you want to but I don't have any specific instructions for you when it comes to how to set everything up.

Thanks for this. I should have specified, that for Palworld in particular which I'm modding right now, the Pterodactyl egg sadly uses the Linux version of the server. Though are you saying there's a way around this?

Which fork was the Linux one? I'd love to check that out and try my luck.

I don't know if the port builds or what steps you might need to take to even try to build it, and if it does build, it might be all sorts of broken because this is an unofficial fork and there's no way to tell what state the port is.
It's entirely possible that they are in the middle of porting and that it's not even close to usable yet.

Here are two links, one for UE4SS and another for the Unreal submodule which is the code that handles communication between UE4SS and UE:

You should be able to use Wine if you have the necessary access to the computer (or VM) that hosts the server.
You'd need to download the Windows binaries for the Palworld server to your Linux server computer/VM and run it with Wine, which sounds extremely wasteful and I can't recommend it but it's the only way to do it right now.

@mixneko did you try the above port links? It looks like there hasnt been any activity in that repo since last month and looking from the commit history im not sure it builds yet. Did you find a solution to this? Running behind pterodactyl as well and looking to add nexus mods which uses UE4SS

Linux support is very much fluid at the moment, but we've been making progress and it can be tracked via several pull requests.
The pull requests for Linux support are #384 and https://github.com/Re-UE4SS/UEPseudo/pull/79, and we have two PRs that it depends on: #575 and https://github.com/Re-UE4SS/UEPseudo/pull/96.

As far as I know, it does build and run, and there's some information about it here: https://github.com/Yangff/RE-UE4SS/wiki
There are also pre-built binaries, and I think the latest one is this one: https://github.com/Yangff/RE-UE4SS/actions/runs/9432680290
It may or may not work depending on your set up.
