Minecraft Server ?

[Lucaz97]

Hi,

I dont know where i should post this, please move if wrong place. 

I was thinking about using my second desktop to setup a minecraft server to play with my friends.

I'd like to load some mods even though i dont know which ones yet. 

My question is about the best way to do so (i found different ways on the web), (I 'd like to leave it on 24/7), it has 6 gb of ddr3 ram and an amd a6 (dont know the exact model) 

I was also concerning if limiting the cpu to something about 70/80% would be a good idea or not (to save something on the power bill) 

Another thing i was planning to do was to set team viewer to be able to access the pc remotely if i need to change something (I will leave the pc over my granpa's house) but I wasnt planning to leave a monitor attached and I am  not sure if team viewer will let me see something if nothing is displayed to a monitor....  ( i hope this part is clear) 

 

Thank you all!

I think you can use TeamViewer, since I used it with a laptop whose screen was turned off (the lid was shut), as it was strapped to a projector. You can still try it before actually setting up the server.

it turns on the screen, atleast in newer  updates

but mcmyadmin is the best option

Teamviewer does work without a screen, it defaults to 800x600 resolution.

Yeah it was quite a while ago. 

And yes you should use mcmyadmin as suggested, it is the best option, I totaly forgot about it.

1. There should be no problem with you underclocking the cpu.

2. Ram might become a problem if you want to play with more than 4-5 players and scatters around the world.

3. Teamviewer can be used without a monitor to the remote pc.

 

Since it is an APU, i am curious about if it is a desktop or laptop, because this can change a few things to make it better og worse.

 

First of all, if it is a laptop, then i would be concerned about the cooling. If it is a desktop then there should be no concern on that subject, and is it a desktop with a dedicated gpu then you could pull that out of the machine and run on the APU instead to save some more on the power bill.

second of all, i would put some more ram in the machine just to be save on that point.

 

Again that is just what i would do and be concerned about. But in theory there should be no trouble for you running a MC with your machine.

It is an old desktop. 

Thank you. 

I am having some trouble setting up the server with mcmyadmin... Can you suggest a good tutorial?

Okay, Then take a look inside to see if the machine has an onboard GPU (Most likely there is) and a dedicated graphic card, i would pull the dedicated card out to save more on the power bill  And of cause put some more ram in the machine just to be save

 

I don't have any experience with mcmyadmin, so unfortunately i can't help there other than try some difference guides and find the one that explains the most (and of cause seems to work)

Looking at this tread I decided to give McMyAdmin a shot, but I installed it on a Ubuntu server through putty...

 

I haven't played around with the controls to much, but it looks fairly easy.

 

If you can get ubuntu on the laptop (Which is fairly easy) here is the youtube video I followed to instal McMyAdmin.. it was very easy to follow.. just be careful with the password part - " sudo ./MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 -setpass password -configonly "  

 

Instead of the password -configonly ... just put what ever you want your password to be..

 

I would instal ubuntu with out the gui, it will save on your resources.. and everything will be ran through a command line, which you can remotely access with an app called putty.. I'll sometimes use WinSCP for file transfers..

 

 

 - - - - 

 

My question though !

 

Does anyone know of a good way to get McMyAdmin to auto start within a screen on boot? Incase my computer looses power.. reboots, what ever.. I want it to auto start..

[Lucaz97]

So, I managed to set the server up but I cannot connect to it from an external pc. If i set the ip in the server file the server wont boot. Starting it with no ip where it says server ip in the server properties file I cant find it from other pcs inserting my pc IP and port number (i hope is clear enough) 

Any help on this ? 

Thanks in advance
