Open Tibia Server Setup Help

I have a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VPS ready and I want a fully working Open Tibia server running version 13.x or newer. I am happy to go with either Canary or TFS—whichever you feel will get us to a stable, live server fastest.

My own attempts stalled mainly at the client-connection stage, so the critical piece for me is having at least one client (official Tibia or OTClient, I am flexible) connect reliably to the server once it is online.

What I need from you:

• Compile or install the chosen engine on the VPS, configure it, and verify it boots without errors.
• Walk me through the minimal config changes so I understand what was done.
• Provide a working client package—or clear instructions for obtaining and patching one—that logs straight into the server.
• Leave me with a brief text file covering commands to start/stop the server, locations of configs, and any future update steps.

I intend on implementing my own custom map, npcs etc once I have the server set up.

If you have experience with Canary, TFS, MySQL/PostgreSQL setups, and client linking quirks, this should be straightforward. I would prefer to work alongside you using screenshare.

Looking forward to finally seeing the server online and playable!

If you are not used to this work - You are welcome to purchase a ubuntu 22.04 vps to attempt to get this set up for yourself, before teaching me how to do so. I will happily cover the cost of the the vps.
