Always on dedicated server

Hello,
Is there any solution, that would provide approx. 5 rooms, which will be always on and only care about spawning random items on a map and set leaderboard? Now i have solution with master server and unity networking, where one player have to host game and another can connect, but i would like to have always live rooms.

I know there is some products like photon, but I would like to have this made only in unity networks. Is it possible?

 

You could always code a separate Unity Application to be the Server, just don't give it a PlayerBody, Camera and let it deal with the code generation, you could then generate through RPCs and as long as you have scripts to catch them for the Clients it should all work.

 

You can run Unity without graphics on either a linux server with a headless Linux Unity build or with -batchmode as a command line flag argument to running the application, this is like a "no graphics" mode.

In this way you can leave the long running process on a machine for as long as you wish. Just make it so that particular instance is always treated as a server. You can do this with making your own command line arguments or by making a server only build.

Otherwise you are better going with a third party networking solution like Forge or Photon which supports this kind of thing.
