ansible-role-simple-minecraft

Basic role to configure a simplistic Minecraft server running on Fedora. Will create a minecraft user and use it to run the server, based on the latest JAR provided by Mojang.

This role also serves as a playground to test out Python modules, used to configure the server.properties. The Python module only handles the very basic principles of the Java properties format, e.g., will not be able to handle multi-line properties. But it can be used to update settings as required and will propagate if any of the desired settings were changed back to the ansible host.

Clone into a role directory:

mkdir roles
gh repo clone matz-e/ansible-role-simple-minecraft roles/simple-minecraft

and then include in a playbook like:

- name: Provide Minecraft
  hosts: minecraft_server
  become: true
  roles:
    - simple-minecraft

Use at your own risk.
