I set up my own Valheim server last week. Just get SteamCMD, download the dedicated server tool, edit the .bat file, and make sure to forward ports 2456-2458. Worked like a charm!

First, you'll need to install SteamCMD (Steam Console Client). Then, use it to download the Valheim Dedicated Server tool. Configure the server by editing the 'start_headless_server.bat' file with your desired server name, world name, and password. Finally, forward ports 2456-2458 on your router and run the .bat file to start your server. Happy Viking-ing!

Just rent a server from a game hosting service. It's easier, and you won't have to worry about the tech stuff.
