  • [Question] Preventing windows going to sleep
    1 project | /r/admincraft | 4 May 2023
    I am wondering if there is some way of preventing pc from sleeping while the server is running. I already set up SleepingServerStarter and am thinking of setting up EmptyServerStopper. I also have raspberry pi that can remotely power on the pc that I am hosting on.

    Hey, anybody know how to get dynmap to work with mcsleepingserverstarter? I'm hosting small survival server for friends etc, I'm making a website for it and with my little knowledge of programming I'm usually able to make things to work without much of troubles, but It's just to simply explained for me, I think..

  • Any 1.19 auto server starters?
    3 projects | /r/admincraft | 2 Jul 2022
    I’m making a server for just me and my friends and wanted to make it automatically turn off when no one’s on and sa when someone tries to join, like lazymc or sleepingserverstarter, but the problem is that those are both on 1.18. So I wanna know are there any alternatives that work on 1.19 yet or should I just wait until those are updated (cus I’m planning to launch the server in about 2 months)?

    There is also this one, which basically works the same way ( I believe), I haven't tried it yet though: https://github.com/vincss/mcsleepingserverstarter

    More than likely using Aternos. Most people apparently don't know of this plugin (https://github.com/vincss/mcsleepingserverstarter) and it allows for people to fire up the server and join when the server is down. May not work with Aternos
  • Transferring a server from Windows to Linux
    1 project | /r/Minecraft | 18 Apr 2021
    I have a small MC server running on my personal computer. It's equipped with SleepingServerStarter and I have the .bat file to run it in my startup group (so it starts when I turn on my computer).

    I'd like something like this that works with the itzg docker image. I usually have 2-3 servers up and running at any given time for me and my kids to play on. Different modpacks, haven't done anything fancy to manage them except portainer.
  • Need help with PS4 / Java co-play
    1 project | /r/Minecraft | 29 Aug 2023
    I have a nephew who loves minecraft (my fault, I introduced it to him). He plays it on PS4 - which I don't have - and he would like to play it together with me. I live a few thousand kilometers away, so I thought I'd host a server he can join to.I decided to host the server via docker, using itgz's repo. The server is unauthenticated and is exposed to the internet, I can join to it using my java instance.
  • I made an install script which sets up a Minecraft server for Linux.

    I think that a better option would be to use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server and then use a networking solution like tailscale or equivalent.

  • Easiest way to run a server with a given modpack?
    2 projects | /r/admincraft | 20 May 2023
    I'm aware of itzg/docker-minecraft-server: Docker image that provides a Minecraft Server that will automatically download selected version at startup (github.com) which makes things pretty easy, but getting any modpack to work still requires quite a bit of fiddling with environment variables (mods to exclude on the server, java version, mc version, enabling command block, etc). Is there something easier, which doesn't require me to search through issues to find working configurations?
  • Installing Java 8 on EndeavourOS
    1 project | /r/EndeavourOS | 19 May 2023
    Also, as somebody already mentioned, you could run server in a Docker container. I quickly found this: https://hub.docker.com/r/itzg/minecraft-server. You could look into it. For this you will have to setup Docker, but it should be pretty easy (install and add user to group, check Arch wiki). Docker then creates a small "VM" (without kernel) in which Java is installed to run the server itself.
  • Help with setting up TLS for Dynmap with Caddy Reverse Proxy on Docker server

    Server is running latest version of PaperMC using the itzg/docker-minecraft-server image on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Ports 8123 and 25565 of the container are exposed. Dynmap with LiveAtlas is installed in the server's /plugins/ directory and can be accessed through [server IP]:8123.
