  • minecraft-optimization

    Minecraft server optimization guide

  • I have since found https://github.com/YouHaveTrouble/minecraft-optimization so I will be reading up on that too!

  • spark

    A performance profiler for Minecraft clients, servers, and proxies. (by lucko)

  • Honestly this subreddit is the best place for things like that. But something i can say for sure is that most of the time it'll depend on the system; so for example on Minecraft the best way to find out what's causing lag are with tools like spark, and observable. Find out whats causing the most lag and then work on a solution to fix it. And if your stuck ask us here. It'll come with time dont stress to much about asking for help

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • rclone

    "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Yandex Files

  • From my experience linux is almost always a better choice for any server then any form of windows or mac or bsd based OS. Especially due to its focus on things like the command line and linux first tools. Such as grep; docker; rclone; cron etc.

  • panel

    Pterodactyl® is a free, open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go. Designed with security in mind, Pterodactyl runs all game servers in isolated Docker containers while exposing a beautiful and intuitive UI to end users.

  • AFAIK most of them run a hypervisor at an OS level like proxmox. Then partition out different vms as "vps systems" if its a shared hoster typically the web panel is a custom version of pterodactyl or puffer and the server itself is running in a docker container(which is essentially just a really high performant virtual machine that only runs 1 thing)

  • docker-minecraft-server

    Docker image that provides a Minecraft Server that will automatically download selected version at startup

  • Docker Swarm

    Source repo for Docker's Documentation (by docker)
