Minecraft Server - PaperMC Deployment Script

Move & Deploy your PaperMC server with current settings. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 (AWS, Azure)

First of all, Why ?

If you have a backup of your PaperMC server, and want to move it on other providers(Ubuntu VM's recommended), you can use this script. Also, it creates service that will run minecraft server as service.

How do i run this and try ?

Clone this repo, insert your server backup zip link in the install-start.sh. Run the install-start.sh script and you are done.

   sudo apt update & sudo apt install git -y & sudo git clone https://github.com/merto-dvp/minecraftserver-paper-deploy-script
   
   cd minecraftserver-paper-deploy-script
   sudo nano install-start.sh

After editing & adding download link

   sudo bash minecraftserver-paper-deploy-script/install-start.sh

Change password of minecraft user:

   sudo passwd minecraft

   su - minecraft
   screen -r

What does this script do ?

Creates an account for server, (named minecraft), and this acc owns the data. Creates default directories that PaperMC creates & runs. (Assumes that you have default PaperMC directory backup)

Downloads ur server backup -You have to provide a link that downloadable with wget, I use DropBox -It should be an archive (zip recommended), so script will extract.

Extracts your server archive.

Copies data to /opt/minecraft/survival

Deletes the unused stuff.

Gets user rights of directories for minecraft user.

Creates the service minecraft@survival.

Enables the service minecraft@survival.

How can i check my server status, logs, etc.?

You can login to minecraft account with su - minecraft. But at first you need to change password of that account. While you are root, or go get the rights and change password with

sudo passwd minecraft

And change password of that account.

After that do these steps:

su - minecraft (Login to minecraft account)
screen -r
