Setting up your own Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) server can enhance your gaming experience by allowing you to control the environment, invite friends, and enjoy a customized trucking adventure. This guide will walk you through the process of configuring an ETS2 server from scratch. Configuration adapts server to individual needs of the owner and players. A person with access to server files can change almost all parameters, such as maximum number of players, password and many others.

If you want to configure your Euro Truck Simulator 2 server follow this guide:

1. Stop your euro Truck simulator 2 server

Navigate “Console” tab in your server panel, then click on “Stop” button to stop your server.

2. Start basic configuration

Once your server is stopped, you can start changing your server parameters. To do this, you need to go to the “Startup” tab which contains most important parameters of your Euro Truck Simulator 2 server. The table below shows all variables you can change in “Startup” tab.
