Hey Rutger!
literally this.
Just know that you will have to keep it running regularly if you want your friends to log into it when you aren't there. AND you will have to allow said server and its connections through your router via port forwarding if its dedicated so only let people you know and trust into it.
If this is seems intimidating i suggest renting a server instead. Its safer.
It is worth mentioning too that this is not a thing exclusive to Valheim. Any and all hostable online games you should probably defer the risk to an external host. P2P connections these days are rather undesirable security wise.
download a Dedicated server for Valheim at Steam.
