Best way to do a modded playthrough with friends?

Trying to do this with friends, already have a dedicated server setup. I searched around a bit but didn't really find any way to setup a modded server. Any help is appreciated.

if so, you need access to the "game files" to add mods to the server.
some server providers may provide a way to access those files and add mods.

if this is your OWN dedicated server (like you have a spare computer running as "the server"), you just add the mods you want to use the same way you would normally.

and finally, after setting up all the mods on the server..... ALL PLAYERS WILL NEED TO HAVE ALL THE SAME MODS AS THE SERVER.
It's my own dedicated server. Not rented.
Just to clarify, to install mods for my server I just drop the BepInEx stuff, then all mods I want into the mods folder (I know it's not called that) into .../steamapps/common/ Valheim dedicated server?
If so thanks a bunch. Life saver.
Also I'm aware everyone needs to install the mods. There's only 3 of us so it won't be too much of a hassle. Thanks again.
