Please use the included installation txt file. I fixed a few mistakes I made: abs.freemyip.com:84/api/public/dl/ShUDo8u5?inline=true
0:00 - Preamble
5:30 - Guide starts
7:51 - Installing Debian Linux in Virtualbox
15:33 - Installing and configuring Putty SSH
16:49 - Logging into Debian Linux, changing root password, and getting the IP of the new machine.
18:44 - Setting Debian to allow root logins via SSH. If you accidentally press a key or mess up this config file, you can exit it without saving by pressing CTRL+X and then press "N" when "Save Buffer?" appears on the screen. That's how you exit safely, then you can try again.
21:01 - Setting static (unchanging) IP in Debian
22:17 - Remember to change iface, gateway, and IP to match yours which may be different than mine. Also, the dns-nameservers must also match your gateway IP.
23:59 - Installing all the software into Debian Linux!
25:57 - Compiling Azerothcore!
26:35 - Configuring the database (MariaDB SQL which stores all player/in-game data like gold, mounts, characters etc)
28:55 - Running the server for the first time to set up databases.
32:21 - This is where you change the realm name and set the IP address of your server in your database. This can be changed any time should your IP somehow change or you want to change your realm name.
34:09 - Creating scripts and aliases to make starting/stopping/updating/compiling and connecting to the auth/world-server much easier! These only need to be done once.
35:38 - Starting server and connecting to the "world-session" using our new aliases [wow]. So typing wow anywhere in Linux will connect to your world-session as long as your server is running. This window allows administrative commands to create characters, announce a server shutdown etc. You can also do these commands in-game if you are a GM, but you need to add a period in front of it. You do not need a period when issuing administrative commands in the world-session window.
36:05 - Creating account using the "world-session" window. You can get here by typing "wow" in Linux so long as your server is running (by typing start). Do not press ctrl+c or ctrl+z in this window unless you want to stop the server! Just close the putty window when done.
37:00 - Changing realmlist.wtf to the server IP so we can connect.
37:41 - Connecting to our brand new server for the first time.
39:52 - Modifying the config file to change to a PVP server, XP rate, and many many other settings.
47:38 - Modifying the playerbots config file to adjust how many bots we have, what level they start at, and more!
51:02 - I made a mistake here. Set AiPlayerbot.BotActiveAlone = 100 or else the bots seem to wander aimlessly. My apologies! I am still learning myself. I updated the install txt.
54:32 - This setting is currently bugged. If set to less than 2.0, bots will be nude when you "initialize" or "upgrade" them! I fixed in the install.txt file.
1:00:00 - There they go! Newborn bots begin their journey from level 1.
1:00:32 - Trick to hide Virtualbox and Debian in the background using "headless" mode.
wont load your link to the text file for some reason
@@hamburgerfan2890 whoops! sorry about that. It's up now. I was having some https problems today and I cleared the issue. Thank you.
You can paste those timestamps into video description so it will make chapters on the video to click
@@KresuGaming Yeah but I hate the feedback I get on my phone when people do that. KERK. KERCHUNK. KERRRRRRRRRRRRRRT.
No thanks. What, am I playing Star Fox 64 with the rumble pak or something? Stupid cell phones and their "feedback."
This was not working working for me when compiling I was getting tons of warning and a couple fatal errors it made it to 73% tried it multiple time. I even wiped out a computer and loaded a fresh set of debian bookworm 12.5. and retried it from scratch no vm needed. Anyone have any idea.
"you have the option to play with thousands of bots running around just like the real game" hahaha
Actually I think in many cases the bots play better than humans. The bots don't get drunk, have to go to sleep, and they wait patiently while you afk for an hour. :D
Blizzlike
I'd actually like it if you could play with bots in dungeons and raids etc that could be my retirement game classic with bots @@Painbow9553
@@MrAnalypticyou can.
@MrAnalyptic u can it's an option in lfr
Seeing the AzerothCore project and this insane bot addon is huge. I'm a developer myself, have messed with private servers and all of that several serval years ago, but didn't realize how far we have come with this.
All of this is a huge step towards Game Preservation and being able to play versions of this game for years to come, even without Blizzard hosting the servers. Very important for a huge piece of gaming history like WoW is.
Thank you for posting these video's. For many years this is something I dreamed off, but the hurdles and troubles always seem to high. I followed your video's (1 and 2) and have a server running now!
one question, how do you get a bot to trade gold with you? or are you planning in making a video with some (bot) commands you use in your games?
@@joosts5470open a trade window with a bot and whisper them 10g or whatever.
He will tell you how much he has if you highlight him and push one of the gold buttons on the unbot bar I forget which
@@nirv Awesome that worked, thank you champ! Greatly appreciated!
A couple of things I have noticed in the 2 evenings I have been playing.
- if you create say 2 alts and then add them as a friend you can summon them like you do with a bot.
I find this handy because I don't like the 1st 10 levels (20 on a druid) so I run around as my main (hunter) followed by my (bot) alt druid and pally. They get some XP too this way.
I also use one 'real' bot healer to be sure they don't die.
With the AWESOME bag mentioned in you manual they can collect quite a lot of junk to sell.
On that note, I tried to add the heirloom items but somehow the .add Name did not work. I got the numbers from the bowhead database,
You done happen to know the real DB items? Even when I connected to the DB Keira3 and use that number that also did not work. Not a huge deal but esp for my 'bot' alts the heirlooms would be great
Heirlooms weren't in Wrath of the Lich King were they? I forget. 😯

Goddamn man this is one hell of a tutorial. Clean, direct, no faff.
Absolutely thanks a million for putting it all together.
Thank You for this incredible guide! Defiantly one of the BEST on YT. Can confirm this works flawlessly on a M2 MBP. Using Parallels 18, for Ubuntu and Win11 VM's. Awesome job! 👍
Hey man just wanted to pass on my gratitude for the massive effort you made to create this how-to! Finally got mine up and running and enjoying the experience!
Thanks again!
Imagine being ninja looted by your bots 🌚
😂
Great tutorial! Followed the tutorial on a Debian proxmox VM and it worked on the first go without any issues. Thank you
Give the bots dialogue between each other, and it's now more immersive than playing with real people today.
a simple script of hello, hi, bye would make much social game then retail
You can enable bots to greet you in the playerbots.conf file. Maybe later a deeper method of communication will be implemented. The possibilities are endless with open source!
@@Painbow9553 Plug it into OpenAI's API or run a local model and plug it into Ollama lmao.
@@Weedyeah this is a good idea
Oh with a chat AI model maybe... 🤔
here I am 15 years later watching a youtube tutorial about to setup a WoW Private Server
it's been a minute since I have done that :D
Since 14 years ago I have always wanted something like this to avoid the bad players and toxic people in the game, now I can play calmly and happily, just how the game should be, thank you very much for sharing your wisdom
My guy
Thanks for posting this man! Got mine up and running, its super cool watching these little bots go running around.
Just installed and configured today. Everything is working great. Thank you for such a great guide!
You're welcome!
Just want to say that I found you last week. You made me want to try hosting my own WoW server. Did it with AzerothCore (base) with Hyper-V on my Windows 11 machine. It's running great! Next thing I want to try is the fork you are using for Playerbots. Guess I just want to thank you and tell you that you rock !
Very nice of you to say. Thank you.
@@xakiri4577 You are a quick learner. I've helped a lot of people over the years and you were one of the easiest to help. It's kind of rare seeing younger people knowing their way around them. There was a study done not long ago that showed most of the last two generations don't even know what a FOLDER is on a computer. :O
Thanks for the instructions, especially the text document made it easy - everything worked straight away.
Nice work!
This is amazing. I never knew you could do such a thing. A single player WotLK game with bots as friends. No more LFGs. I have my own guild too LOL. Great video!
Thanks for the guide! I have absolutely zero intent on doing this myself, been at least 15 years since I hosted a private server, but I still watched the entire thing LOL. You've got a great way of teaching and this is a great entry way into Linux and/or SysAdmin. :)
Dude took me a couple days to chip through the tutorial but we're up and running. Thanks again for the video, and taking the time to answer my questions the other day.
Only reason I don’t play wow is the subscription when I don’t have a lot of time to play. Something like this would actually be dope
Nice tutorial! I struggled a little bit at the beginning, but you were right. It seems hard at first but gets really "easy" once you get used to it :D
Many thanks for your videos.
I have followed your explanations diligently, everything is clear and precise.
My server is working perfectly and I'm having fun again playing these versions of World of Warcraft without the decadent mentality of the players.
It's very impressive to turn this scourge of LIVE gaming (the bots) on its head in this way.
I'll treasure them all.
Thank you for the kind words, but the real heroes are the developers who do all this work for us for free! How lucky we are. :D
Took about 5 hours to do this with zero Linux experience. I screwed up about 4 or 5 times. Eventually got it working. Definitely my crappiness and not your guide. Easy to follow apart from my own 4 or 5 errors. Great Job, thanks.
I've been waiting for a video like this for 15 years. Now i know what my weekend project is going to be. I even have a purpose for my old Threadripper that has been sitting in my closet for 3 years.
Holy shit a threadripper?! Okay I am officially jealous.
@@Painbow9553 haha, it's a Gen1 but still good enough to run a server 😄
Ahh man this looks so fun for someone with a larger homelab!
Thank you so much for making this guide! Since the community has become so meta/sweaty I've always thought about automating other players roles so I can enjoy the game. Now I can freely read the quest text at my leisure and raid whenever I get there. I had never heard of AzerothCore until now. You are a hero! Keep up the great work!
Running something like this in-house and only making it accessible through LAN could be fun if you can't fill a party etc.
Thanks for uploading this man.
Yup! Actually this install method I give is LAN only. To make it internet capable, you have to change your IP in the database to your external IP, and then forward 2 ports on your router.
Thank you SO much nirv. I will try this out tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes, because I can tell you actually want to help people out, which is a rare trait when genuine. Can't wait to dive in.
Just want to say @nirv that I was successful! I followed everything, and and now tinkering. I will watch the other vids in the series, but this is so surreal to be doing. Thanks again.
„Mom, I want a wow subscription please!“ … „No, honey. We have that at home.“
You are an absolute legend! I can already tell this is gonna be a lot of fun lmao
I did it a different way with Docker but your guide was incredibly helpful to me. Thank you. You have a fantastic voice for tutorial! Do more :)
Very kind of you to say. Glad it helped you. Thanks!
Thanks Nirv, was a quiet night, not even a big fan of WoW but got it all setup. Appreciate the copy/paste sheet. (Non-linux user)
Hey Nirv! I just wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for your work on this. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you making this tutorial. Also.. Ignore the haters man, and please keep up the good work!
Thanks for bringing awareness to this! I ended up using docker instead of running a VM since I'm already on Linux, would probably also work under Windows with WSL and Docker Desktop.
Weirdly enough I always wanted an "offline-version" of WoW. Thank you for this. I will give it a try. I see you made more videos on the topic.
Also, you won the algorithm. I wasn't searching for this. TH-cam suggested it to me. xD
Great tutorial that takes complex tasks to the level of people on the street.
Ok, got this spun up on my ProxMox server running in a debian container, not running in a debian VM. From shutdown to Startup, takes 42 seconds to boot. Bots seem to function correctly and with one user online now, using 4GB ram and about 25% CPU of an 8 core 3.4gHz intel system. Not too shabby. I haven't messed with bots and azcore in about 5 years, very nice to know this is working as intended, thanks!
"enough tahkin' let's just fahkin' start rollin'" instantly knew I was in for a good time
Shit... Offline WOW i have dreamed of this forever.
Very cool idea
This feels like that episode of black mirror where old people are put into their own worlds with made up people to run around and enjoy life like the good ol days
💀💀💀
Dude this is like a dream come true!
This looks great, I will rewatch this again and follow along on the weekend
What I'm curious about is how the bots get their gear. Do they come with a pre set gear or do they actually "quest" and run dungeons to gear up?
Really well put together and now i know what to try next weekend :)
I'm so impressed with this video. Big up!
Thanks a ton for putting this together, man! I’m gonna throw it on one of my servers just to know how for when my kiddo is old enough to play with me!
Now I can finally have friends!
I love the Netscape logo.
This is kinda like a dream come true since the social aspect of WoW kinda went down the tubes some time ago. Now you can run your own Classic WoW to explore and play at your own pace without the monthly subscription plus you have the option of doing bots for the raids and dungeons.
Also, they might one day make a WoW 2 and just shitcan all the old stuff entirely.
Also also, people who ask "why" are insane. If you need to ask "why" then you don't know/care enough about classic WoW to already know why this is really awesome.
I totally agree with you. It's so fun! You have all of the power and you can explore and quest any way you want - including, of course, friends and family since it does allow connections.
The people who work on this stuff of course deserve the most credit. What amazing work.
Hey thanks for this video...this is amazing and very interesting.... I'll have to give this a try once I get my new PC setup! 😁
watched one of your livestreams where you showed WinSCP and holyshit i wished you talked about it in this video. Makes editing configs SOO much easier
If you introduce too many things at once in one video, people's eyes cross. The thousand yard stare happens.
single player WoW with bots is the future
Hey, thanks for the guide. I've come from messing with CMANGOS for a few years and I think the fact you can use modules in AzerothCore is a killer feature CMANGOS is missing. Using your guide, I've got this working on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS with MySQL server instead of MariaDB. The steps are exactly the same apart from swapping out mariadb-server with mysql-server on one of the apt-get install commands. I've created a couple of systemd files that handle the startup of the auth server and world server in sequence and also does a backup of the auth and character database before starting the server. If anyone wants them let me know =D.
Hello, I would like that very much ! Thanks :D
Its like the real experience of WOW , a shit ton of bots and actual players who are as good as bots ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks man, this is was awesome!
Thank You! This guide is very helpful.
Managed to get this going for myself thanks to you. Man though id love to do this for tbc since its when i played wow most.
Hey dude, thank you for the guide. I plan on getting this setup locally this weekend.
I wanted to ask if you had any idea how much RAM and CPU cores I would need to run a server comfortably for a couple friends (4-5) ontop of around 1000-1200 bots? I'm just curious as I would be worried about total wallet destruction trying to host via VPS if I go that route.
Also if you had any data on how much harddrive space a server like that would eat up after a couple months of running 24/7? Or would you say the 60-70gb sounds about right?
This is good for the people who couldnt experience the game on classic tbc or wotlk era. Such as me. I can find bots to do onyxia nax and other with me lol
Very much appreciated for the tutorial. This should be fun to mess around with.
Playing with bots... so its the 10/1 0authentic classic raid experience?
Not really since the bots play better than the average classic andy
They listen to exactly what you say, too.
Imagine killling a raid boss and the loot going to the bot.
if you set it to group loot, rolling need guarantees it goes to you. Bots don't roll need only greed. (I'm sure you can fiddle with that in settings)
Imagine how this could look with current AI Bots
Work like a charm ! Thanks for both of your video, really helpful
Really well done video!
I have run my own vanilla ,tbc, wotlk mangos builds . currently running emu coach cata and mop servers . all builds without bot addons. Currently playing on firestorm dragon flight servers to see content I've never played before.
would be interested in builds of this with newer versions of the game.
nice!
Hey DS! This is Digital Scriptorium. He has made guides on how to install Azerothcore and others using Windows AND Linux. If you cannot follow my instructions because I'm all over the place or because I refuse to install it in Windows, check this guy's channel out. He's much more calm than my hyper ass.
th-cam.com/channels/QCdJA9XlvlV8LpGD5olpHw.htmlvideos
man I'm loving your tutorials on this but seeing as I have a spare laptop that's what I'm installing on 🤣 kept up the great work :)
You're awesome dude! Got it all working first try going through your steps! Perfect documentation. Only question I have is if there's an easy way to just add bots. I started everyone at level 1 and just left the server running for hours and now there's a lot of level 10-15s but I just wanna know if can almost create a new wave of bots.
I don't know the command, but if you increase the bot count in the config file, it will make more bots upon server restart.
There may be a way to do it in-game without restarting but I'm unsure.
Thanks Nirv! Everything is working perfectly! Just thanks :)
we already have single player wow with bots, its called retail.
Yeah but it's so censored now you can't even /spit on people, and it doesn't have male and female like a heterosexual game - it has fucking "body type" 1 and 2. How DARE those blue hairs ruins this beautiful game?

Oh wow this just randomly popped up on my feed. I tried getting into WoW (retail) at one point but couldn't stand the amount chores/FOMO, which is a shame because I really liked some aspects of the game. This might be the perfect solution for that, I'm gonna try setting it up this weekend!
Won't change anything about the chores though? Chores are the basis of any mmo game. Just play a single player RPG game western style instead, lol.
At the risk of sounding homosexual, I just wanna say you are amazing!
Thanks Nirv! great guide :) hope you do more
This is great, thank you for the tutorial. Seems like the perfect option for my kids and I. I saw you can set the World type to PvP but do you know if you can make the bots hostile towards opposite faction to have a true PvP world?
Yes. That's what PVP is. I've seen lots of them battling out in the world, and horde comes after me like I owe them money!!
Playing any form of WoW feels like single player mode either way
Yep so you might as well own it.
Ahaha been playing for like 6 months now…haven’t made a friend yet 😂 everyone’s just mad in dungeons and raids
This is really coo! Thanks for sharing
This is hype!, Can't find your livestreams tho..

@@Desperado070 I played both private servers and retail since 1.12, had the most fun on private servers, by a long mile.. actually it was retail that got me to be sick of the game for good. Granted, retail was always the most bug-free, but to call that "the appeal of the game" is ridiculous.
@@Desperado070 oh look, this guys a maroon^_^

Hey, great vid! I need some help with the bots. After I started the server, the bots weren't present, and I couldn't spawn them for some reason. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it? Thanks!
Made a new video today. Try this. th-cam.com/video/x6ojQdEDDpM/w-d-xo.html
out of curosity, why do we call this a "blizzlike"? great video by the way, i love your voice!
its blizzlike exp and drop rates you may also see some servers listed as "high rate" with high exp or drop rates
Because it behaves similarly to the real wotlk. similar drops, mob locations, and the way everything just works. It's not like the developers have the source code to wotlk - it's an approximation - or emulation if you will.
@@Painbow9553 then in that case it's a really really good approximation, hence why i was curious why it's a blizzlike. to me it feels exactly like official wow
Hey great tutorial love it so far.
Only issue I ran into is that performance gets really bad after a few hours of running the server altough i play with 500-1000 bots I gave the server 24gb of ram but after an hr ish it still runs into a wall and has like 800-1k ms and gets worse and worse over time.
Any idea what the issue might be? To me it seems like a ram issue but I'm not sure and will have to test gonne report back if i solved it.
It's a bug right now with Midsummer fire Festival with bots spawning multiple invisible NPCs.
@@nirv Hey thats great to know was running out of ideas. Can i just end the event manually and the server will resume running normally?
abs.freemyip.com:84/api/public/dl/oWy9k-G7?inline=true
Like this.
@@Painbow9553 Thank you very much.
Great vid. Got everything running smoothly, however my friend can't join my server. I got my external ip, port forwarded 3724 and 8085 and he changed his realmlist file but he can't connect. What can I do?
For me, Wow has barely been an mmo for many years. Now we got follower dungeons and delvs, gonna be even more so.
Not exactly news but cool that people still show tutorials for new comers.
hey man this vid is fantastic! been super easy to understand and follow along so far. i just have a question, can i install all of this on a second pc and still be able to connect and play on my main?
Thank you.
That's actually how I have it set up. I installed the server (this video) on my PC in the living room which runs Proxmox - sort of like Virtualbox. The server is running in a VM.
If your other PC on your network has a connectable IP address, there's no reason why it won't work. It's MEANT for multiplayer, whether that's LAN only or online.
Think of it like Halo for the Xbox 1. Games during that period supported TCP/IP LAN and TCP/IP INTERNET play - Azerothcore, of course, supports both, which is how all games should work!
Excellent vid. Is there a way to get the bots to chat in The Barrens general (with all the fun 2005 nastinest). Take me back bro
Not yet, but it's open source so anything is possible.
Couldn't make it past 11:27
Every time I open it up, it closes itself and says "aborted" with the error message:
"Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0) (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).
AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED)."
Get into your BIOS and enable AMD-V. Virtualization.
If you don't know what motherboard you have, google the laptop or motherboard and find out how to get into the bios. Once there, find the AMD-V or virtualization setting and TURN IT ON. It should never be off.
@@Painbow9553 Was just on my way to delete my comment. Found a tutorial and got that sorted, but I'll leave the comment up for other people who experience the same issue.
You know when you played to much WoW when you expected the bots to issue a duel request right after spawning :D
Thanks to this video guide, I was able to get this up and running great on my system. A few things different since I'm running everything on Linux, but I'm stuck with how to access the database like you do with heidiSQL, you know, visually. I have no idea what software to use, or how to set it up. I tried Dbeaver, but I don't understand how to set it up. Any ideas? I'm running Ubuntu 22.04. Not a big deal, everything works great so far, and I'll probably regret poking around in the databases, but it may be necessary at some point.
Awesome you got it running!
So the first step in getting your database accessible is setting your bind-address to 0.0.0.0 and restarting the service as I explain in my guide. It's easy to change that setting. Once you do, your sql database now gives permission for computers outside of itself to connect so long as they have a user and password - which I also show how to do in the guide. Just search the word "banana" in my guide.
Once you do that, you can install Heidi, punch in your server IP, the new login/pass you just made and you're in. Easy!
37:44 currently got it stuck at "Logging in to game server"
same to me, i can see the server but it dosent connect amd go to creat a character
This is just GREAT!!!!
This reminds me of that Mangos automatic installer I made back in the day for Ubuntu :P
Playerbots. I've always wanted to do something like this. I've had an azerothcore server for years. Intermittently I go play in my world. It's amazing. I always wanted to do bots. But I didn't want to spin up hundreds of wow clients. This could finally make most of the dungeons playable again.
By the way. I recommend you compile a native binary for Windows. I know the CMAKE guide is a pain in the ass but in return you get a server that kicks off much faster.
If you want to run your server in the cloud the yeah. Use a debian. But with the high RAM requirements you might (cost wise) be better off with bare metal.
What in the hell are you talking about? I would NEVER run a game server in Windows over Linux.
The only time I would do that is if I didn't have a choice such as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, Serious Sam first and second editions. Age of Empires. Age of Empires: Rise of Rome.
In other words, where the client is ALSO the server. In other words, not a dedicated server. That's the only time I'll run it in windows.
Why would I do that? My windows PC is my gaming PC. My Proxmox server in the living room is a DEDICATED SERVER.
I only made the video this way because I'm assuming most people only have one computer, and if that's the case, they're better off running it in a Virtual Machine than dealing with Visual Studio and all that bullcrap on their gaming machine. We want it sandboxed.
Having said that, I hope you do it properly and don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me very much when I'm angry.™
(Just kidding. Sort of.)
Wow, this looks good does Azerothcore work on macos??? Sadly, I was disappointed when Trinitycore wasn't usable in this os
It should, yes. Does macos have virtualbox? If so, you should be able to do it because Virtualbox allows you to run Linux in a sandbox and my instructions should be exactly the same.
Thanks for this, I have wanted to make my own. I've been putting this project off for awhile, I'll now have the motivation to move forward. Any opinion on do this on Proxmox? running on it's own dedicated hardware?
Proxmox won't be any different. Install Debian and do it. That's what I use - Proxmox.
@@Painbow9553 Thanks for that. Just found your videos. Best of luck with the channel!
@@Painbow9553 Got it up and running today. Thanks again. Really simple.
thanks for this guide - I have followed several times and after much trial and error (my router was to blame) finally set this server up. I experienced some kind of error after using the GM code .server shutdown 10 - was logged out of root and then got an authorization error when trying to log back in, couldn't figure out what on earth went wrong but decided to start again, should be a lot easier second time round. If you are looking for suggestions of other guides to make, you could put up a guide of how to use HeidiSQL and how to make server backups etc before running changes. Thanks again.
