Setting up a server

[bearbin]

BTW, the recommended installation method for Linux (x86, Raspi etc) is the easyinstall script

Code:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mc-server/MCServer/master/easyinstall.sh | sh

If you just paste it in it will download the latest version for your computer and extract it ready to use.

Aw, what about the autoupdate script?

[bearbin]

That is a good way of doing it, but it's more complicated and most people just want the bare minimum setup.

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?

You're completely right.

Hi Again,

I've flashed my SD card and made a clean install of OSMC (as daddy would like to use the PI as a media center) added user MINECRAFT - changed to this user and installed the MCServer via the suggested curl command - worked like a charm, but getting this error trying to run the server:

minecraft@osmc:~/MCServer$ ./MCServer

Any one got a clue?

[LogicParrot]

I pray it isn't my commit

[denbertuz]

Will install a fresh Raspbian, upgrade from wheezy to Jessie and then make a clean MCServer setup and report back

[LogicParrot]

This was reported by two different users, I opened an issue here.

What's your libc version? Can you please run the following bash command and report the output?

Code:

ldd --version
