This bash script automates the process of installing a Minecraft server on a Debian-based system. It installs the required dependencies, sets up the server, and provides guidance on managing it.
- Install git
sudo apt install git
-
Clone this repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/Dublit-Development/Minecraft-Server.git -
Change into the repository directory:
cd your-repo-name -
Make the scripts executable
chmod +x serverinstall.shandchmod +x prerequisites.sh -
Run the scripts with sudo privileges (Run prerequisites.sh first)
sudo ./prerequisites.shsudo ./serverinstall.sh
- After running the script, follow the prompts to install OpenJDK, 'screen', and set up the server.
- A 'screen' session named "minecraft" will start. To detach from the session while keeping it running, press Ctrl + A followed by D.
- Edit the server properties by opening the server.properties file with the nano text editor:
nano server.properties - When you're ready to start your server, reattach to the 'screen' session using:
screen -r <session_ID>
Then start the server with:
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_server_1.20.1.jar nogui
If you are interested in backing up your server files to an compatiable object storage using the AWSCLI:
Install AWSCLI and configure credentials:
sudo ./awsCLI_configure.sh
Upload to S3
sudo ./upload_to_s3.sh
Remember to keep your 'screen' instance active by detaching (Ctrl + A + D) when not actively working in it. For further server starts, re-run the command provided in step 4 above.
Feel free to modify the script and instructions to fit your preferences or system requirements.
Disclaimer: Always review scripts and instructions before executing them on your system to ensure they match your environment and needs.
