REMOTE ACCESS FROM BIOS W/H RESTRICTIONS

[Jarsky]

This seems extremely convoluted to give admin power to do stuff for Minecraft. 

Considering you'd have to do scripting anyway for automated backup recovery, i'd just create a web portal in PHP and use its exec() functions to trigger bash scripts and just have them control the "power" to the Minecraft service...i.e being able to start/stop/restart the minecraft .jar instance. 

Then you can do all the security access levels you want in the PHP and approval by you or a delegate admin for doing backup restores.

Use best practice for hardening the server, and for writing the code. This is mostly a question for programming.

 

Id personally probably setup an apache/lighttpd server with mysql which can only be authenticated locally. Create a site using bootstrap, setup a database for user authentication and use a sha256 salt for the passwords, and create user levels. then setup some buttons and link them to bash scripts using the exec() function. e.g

 

<?php
        exec("(/home/user/minecraftscripts/start.sh)");
?>

You can do all sorts of stuff like allow them to edit parts of the config file, trigger manual backups, restore server from backups, etc...none of this sort of stuff requires hooks into the game so easy enough to solution if you have moderate coding experience. I used to do a lot of this for CS, Rust, Minecraft, etc....years ago for managing my own servers.

looks like ive got a lot to code! I will probably not do it for now just some basic system or something, I haven't got the time for the code. BTW this is for Minecraft bedrock edition. I want something like the companies that host them have with simple interfaces for this kinda stuff.

McMyAdmin has come a long way as well, you might want to check that out as it might be a prebuilt solution that does everything you're after

just had a look and looks pretty good will have to test out in the future. thanks for the help.
