Some Serverside stuff

[Blarg21]

So I got a question for all yall web programmers and server programmers. I am trying to make a website that offers a person the ability to start a server for X game within a gaming group. I have 3 Dell poweredge r610's running Proxmox VE. I have yet to figure out how to write a specific code be it a chron job or javascript or what not that would tell my servers to create a LXC with x game x server and spit out an address along with doing the appropriate port forwarding. Any help would be appreciated.

Bad Idea. 

 

Your don't have great uptime, your ISP will complain if you start making money from this. 

 

For the question, there are scripting guides online https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API

 

Id make a template for each game you were hosting, have it make a container or vm when needed, and then power off when idle. You can have it fetch a hostname and get a config file from a local http server.

My ISP doesn't really have room to complain since im paying them 300 a month for their business fibre

How I would personally do it is by either a mysql database and some sort of application that can react to the database as well as the server side or have a set of batch or shell scripts that you can utilise in php to setup a server by copying ready made game server files and modifying them however you need. You would also need to setup permissions properly for these game servers. I'd do this over a virtual environment if it's just for game servers.
