# Contributing to Project Zomboid Ubuntu Server Guide

Thank you for your interest in contributing! Every improvement helps other players host their own servers.

## How to contribute

### Report an issue or outdated step

If a command doesn't work on a newer Ubuntu version, or if something is unclear:

1. [Open an issue](https://github.com/Bobagi/Project-Zomboid-Ubuntu-Server/issues/new)
2. Describe what went wrong and on which Ubuntu version
3. Include the error message if applicable

### Submit a pull request

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a branch: `git checkout -b fix/describe-your-change`
3. Make your changes — keep the tone practical and copy-paste friendly
4. Open a pull request with a clear description of what was changed and why

### Good contributions to make

- Fixing outdated commands (e.g., new Ubuntu LTS compatibility)
- Adding troubleshooting for a common error you encountered
- Improving Portuguese or English documentation clarity
- Adding a systemd service template for auto-start
- Adding a Docker/docker-compose alternative

### Style guidelines

- Write commands as exact copy-paste snippets inside fenced code blocks
- Explain the *why* when it's not obvious (e.g., why 32-bit support is needed)
- Keep the FAQ honest — don't add questions nobody asks
- If adding a new section, add it to the Table of Contents too
