Setting up a server

[denbertuz]

Approach 2, boot at system boot (but no interactive window)

• edit /etc/rc.local, note that you must be root to edit that, possible commands that achieve this are sudo leafpad /etc/rc.local or sudo nano /etc/rc.local
  
• Put the following inside, just above the last line which is exit 0
  
  Code:

  sudo -u pi -- "PATH TO THE MCSERVER EXECUTABLE" & disown

Note that all double-quotes are to be kept, the only thing you need to modify is the uppercase PATH TO THE MCSERVER EXECUTABLE

Normally I would set up a user for such a service e.g. user minecraft - Hence I will try with:

Code:

-u minecraft -- "/home/minecraft/MCServer/MCServer" & disown

correct me if I'm wrong here?
