Is it possible to make an Arma 2 / DayZ server in Linux ? My small gaming community always uses LSM for their servers. I tried following the guides on BI forum but failed.

Haha yes BI and good guides don't go together :-P. Honest answer is I don't know but we can take a look.

ARMA2 could work (#926) but vanilla DayZ probably not because there isn't a Linux version of the HiveExt. Atleast I didn't find one. You will need wine and a X server. (that's real pain in the arse)

Hive: https://github.com/rajkosto/hive (I wonder why there isn't a multiplatform port for it)

EDIT:

Extension support was added to Linux in Arma 3 v1.18

I guess that means you can't load .so files in ARMA2? That's probably why there isn't a port.

Someone made a version using a hive-like solution written in perl:
https://github.com/denisio/Dayz-Linux-Server
It's outdated though. The script files of the mod are likely edited too.

Closing related to #926
