How can I install Chunky?, I tried making a forge server and importing the .jar of the chunky mod, but then the server wasn't able to find the executable when trying to turn it on
My friend and I actually did this same thing with an HP ProDesk 600 G3 Mini about 2 weeks ago. We set it up to run Plex and a Minecraft Bedrock Server. The server has 16GB Ram, 1TB NVMe, and we upgraded the CPU to a i7-7700T. The CPU upgrade really helped. I then wrote a really nice Batch\Powershell script to run once a day that shuts down the Minecraft Server. Creates a ZIP backup of any world that is named with the current date and time it was made. It will then delete any backups older than 7 days. Then finally it restarts the Minecraft Server.
Have you looked at FastBack(up)? It's a git-backed incremental backup mod for servers. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it would seem that it could enable more frequent backups for less space.
Nice guide, thanks! Really liked the explanation of even obvious things! I personally would be interested in some video with explanation of all tricky staff related port forwarding and securing your private network when you doing the forwarding.
If youre actually making a public server, please set up a VLAN or a VxLAN and get an IP to the server through that and make sure its segmented differently than your home network.
could you explain how to do this in steps or perhaps point towards a guide? would like to setup a server using this tutorial for a discord community but not have them directly on my home network...upon segmenting and creating a VLAN - would that IP be what I enter into thr crafty controller?
VLAN's would be usually set up through your router settings meaning you would need something better than most ISP routers such as a custom-built router running PFsence and either you would have to deal with a dynamic DNS service provider or you would want to sign up for the business grade internet plan from whatever ISP is in your area so you could get a static IP, most residential internet plans have a dynamic IP assigned by DHCP meaning the IP address can change whereas business grade accounts and plans have the option to get static IPs which never change
Great video, love that you touched on hardware, setting up the OS and CasaOS, all the way down to connecting and sharing with friends! Awesome and comprehensive
CasaOS works perfectly, been using it since last year as my NAS, thing is super stable and has lots of features to it that just work as intended. I recommend it over TrueNAS but TrueNAS is more in depth and has more security features. EDIT: So far to my knowledge, CasaOS is a Debian docker image, and does not support software raid, meaning you will have to set a hardware raid on your server in order to have any redundancy, and then you use those logical volumes for CasaOS storage which is perfectly fine and works as intended. You can also set a raid volume on your Debian machine on which you intend on running CasaOS container but it is much less work to just set it as a hardware raid if you have the ability to do so.

Hah you only came to brag about what's hidden under the hood of the old elitedesk. Nice setup tho. For this pricepoint you could cluster together 6-8 default elitedesks, and have a stronger machine.
honestly dude this video came out at the PERFECT time, Ive been looking to host a mc server with my community sometimes for gamenights and this is exactly what i need!
I use playit with my pterodactyl server. I have loved the service so far, but some thing to consider is that it seems to be solely operated by one person so support for it can be spotty (through forums or discord). There was an issue a while back where their internal databases crashed when the person to fix it was out of town and had no access remotely, so if I'm not mistaken it took a day or two to fix. There's also the issue that as the service grows it might become a target for ddos attacks. Which with one person, it might be harder to anticipate and implement counter measures or mitigations for. I think I'll stick with playit, but if any of the issues mentioned is a big problem for you, ngrok is an alternative. Set up is a little more advanced than playit, but I imagine they are better staffed so support for issues will be quickly addressed.
This is exactly what I was planning on doing!!! Even with an elitedesk hahah, I have been watching a lot of your videos that have been helping me to understand this things of self hosting!! Thank you in advance, I'll be doing this hopefully next month!
@@HeieiX It does support reverse proxies. Their documentation even has guides for many of the main reverse proxies. I set mine up with Nginx Proxy Manager and it just worked fine.
@@rafing2163 Not unless you have an insane amount of traffic on your server or get DDoSed. If you're not handing out the URL to your server to random people, that shouldn't be a huge issue.
Hello, huge fan of your content! Just a quick tip, if people dont want to set static ip to the casaos, and don't want to meddle with the router settings to find the right ip, they can use advanced ip scanner, (portable or not doesnt matter), they can search the ip of the devices and most of the time it will write in the description what that ip is for. Its very easy to use and saves a lot of trouble!
I don’t plan on making minecraft servers but I can’t stop watching these videos because it’s so fascinating to see these little machines work. Something about them is so captivating to me.
This was awesome. I'm trying to figure out how to do this for a long time. But now it's so much easier. I've never been good at port forwarding and tunnels and all that but now it seems like it's going to be so simple. I've got a bunch of kids that want to play Minecraft with my son so this will be perfect
On the subject of game servers, I'd love to see you talk about making an at home game server for game devs! I know there's cloud services like AWS or Linode but having your own personal server that you have complete control over seems like the best option. I've been trying to put together one but always end up getting stuck at making the server available to outside networks. Also helps for just small testing so I don't eat up my free trial of AWS too.
Pterodactyl is great and works (theoretically) with any game. As for making it available to the internet, depending on what you want to expose, youll have more or less luck. ive personally spent a few days reverse proxying my entire pterodactyl setup (panel, wings and game servers), for which there exists really no documentation. even now i still have to deal with individual issues from game servers, like source engine games showing my public ip as the server host instead of the proxy ip.
I personally use ngrok for reverse proxy. It's as simple as 'ngrok tcp 25565' for a public java server and for a web page it's http instead of tcp. When sharing web pages you can even lock it with Google auth by requiring the user to use the same google account in the allowed email list
Super impressed with how simple this whole process is, and how polished Casa and Crafty look! Been playing around with it today and I'm really happy with it, thanks man :)
This channel really blew up since the last time I watched it, I followed the ubuntu server how to back when he had 45k subscribers 😂. Congrats on the 180k🎉
this is actually nice, since I already have a spare computer I commonly nickname "the server", gonna see if some of my friends are up to the idea of having a MC server again.
So very cool! Didn't even know about crafty controller...manually installed into docker...got it running...trying to install forge for my daughter...boy howdy is there ALOT to that install! Thanks so much for this...I have it running on a HP EliteDesk 705 G2 MINI w/ 8GB RAM and AMD PRO A8-8600B R6 4C+6G (4) @ 1.600GHz processor I got online from EBAY a while back for like $100~, and a 128GB SSD..runs Debian 12 like a boss! Keep em coming!!!!
Can be tidious to set up for those who don't know how to with linux sadly. It's made more for hosting on scale than small basement servers. But works wonderfully if set up well!
@@domiibunnthere's a unofficial install script that does everything for you but unfortunately you need to own an actual domain to use pterodactyl, other than that it's really easy to set up
Literally inspired me to run a Minecraft server on my laptop that doesn't get much use anymore. Was trying to figure out how to make the server public because I didn't feel like setting up port forwarding. Now all my friends I totally have can play Minecraft on my server. Thanks Hardware Haven!
This came at a good time. I've hosted Minecraft servers before just with the basic way of doing it on Windows which is not hard. And recently, I added an Ubuntu virtual machine to my NAS and went through the process of running a Minecraft server in Ubuntu. Well it was going great but then I tried to VNC into my VM a few days later and the whole thing crashed, deleting the server entirely. And I have no idea what I'm doing in Ubuntu so I don't even know if it's recoverable. So yeah I think I'm going to keep my Ubuntu install but use CasaOS and Crafty, since that seems much easier and more my speed. Even following a tutorial, setting up a server via Ubuntu in the terminal was a nightmare.
Pretty in depth yet kinda requires some knowledge for safety reasons and error troubleshooting, I use LXC on my proxmox server which comes with prebuilt turnkey utilities yet I use vanilla base debian 10, 11 or even 12 for my servers and it naturally skips the installation process of debian and network configuring in terminal (etxc/network/interfaces). Like your tutorial and Crafty Controller is THE BEST Minecraft server panel and hosting method. 10/10
I do not get a plugins folder when I make a server. When I make a plugins folder and out the playit plugin into that folder I do not see the playit URL.
@kyleramsey4627 good chance you guys tried to run a different server like vanilla. To use mods or plugins you'll need to run a server like paper or fabric, etc.
Thank you for this video step by step. I saw crafty on your other videos and I installed it for some weeks now. It much easier than manage spigot building server. Thank for the discovery too.
Just got to say, what an amazing video!! I have a old Xeon E5 from aliexpress that i was not using and decided to create my server on it. For now on, I'll try to use it for every game that I play!
I'm having an issue just after installing Debian 12: After the computer reboots and the Linux terminal should open, it instead an empty black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left shows. In the video there is much more information displayed there (11:10). No matter what I type in nothing ever happens. The only thing I've done differently than the tutorial is just before the end of Debian's installation when it prompted me to install GRUB and even after requesting it not to be installed it, installs anyway. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.
@@smg_collin5146 It is one of the components installed automatically in the installation process. It is not shown in the video however as it is set to install by default. If you disabled GRUB while installing, you will need to start the process over.
I also created a Minecraft server according to your tutorial, and it was worth it for me, especially with electricity prices of 60 cents! 🙌🏻 PC: MS-01 CPU: i9-13900H (Max: 5.4GHz) RAM: 48GB DDR5 5200MHz SSD: Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB (7000MB/s) Idle: 6W Normal Use: 25W Max load: 50W - 68W
Wow, I don't know for how long those services were available but it's so cool to see how Minecraft server management has progressed. At my time I used only putty and filezilla to manage all resources and config files but the main problem of course was to properly set up all plugins... Damn that was a torture taking into account that English is not my native language but that was a good "kick" to learn both - Linux administration and the language :)
WOW this video explains every thing so well i went from someone not knowing any thing about Minecraft servers to learning so much about them keep up the good work
Straight up Thank you for this, after spending most of a Saturday trying to cut and paste Linux commands from various articles splattered throughout the internet trying to make a server for my two children to play on your video made all the difference now I have a reliable server that will restart after a power outage itself and also make a backup without any fuss. My only complaint is that home assistant run and docker form cannot do a lot of the add-ons I would like it to because I'd like to make this server multifaceted. you did a phenomenal job explaining and showing what needed to happen. Thanks again
Use paper or similar only AND ONLY if you're a casual player that doesn't make farm or redstone contraptions. Paper breaks vanilla mechanics even with the least amount of settings. Just use a normal fabric performance server modpack to achieve better performance and 100% vanilla mechanics coverage so your contraptions and farms will always 100% work as intended.
You've quickly become one of my favorite RUclipsr's! Keep it up. Your content is interesting, well edited and informative!! I'm gonna look into this and see id something easy exists for setting up Valheim game server s in a similar fashion.
All these GUI tools are interesting, and I do respect the work put into them by the developers. But on the other hand, isn't it a lot simpler to learn how to navigate your way around the filesystem using a terminal, making the entire process a lot shorter and, in a way, more convenient? Especially for a project that is DIY and self-hosting oriented, it's important to learn a little bit about what you're doing to not expose your computer and network to danger.
This video is done to complete beginners who aren't even good at their main operating system. So throwing them into the pit of "do sudo -rm -rf ./" is not a good thing. Also, learning unix just for starting game servers is kinda meh (I did that back in 2012).
13:39 an alternate option if you don't want or can't access the router to fix the ip is just set to the server a static IP outside the range of DHCP but inside the subnet, usually the router only reservers something between 32 to 100 ips for the DHCP from the 253 availble ips (the 254th is the router, as gateway)
Excellent production quality. Fantastic topic and walk-through. Next project ideas! How about something on setting up your own, local ChatGPT instance via ollama?
Love this. Last year I was running a modded fabric server with 20 people playing on it on POP OS. While I love pop os it eats 3-4GB out of 16 of the memory I need for my minecraft server. Plus I had do backups, edits, restarts and everything else manually. Not to mention I had to get up and go into another room then turn on the TV to re-configure the server every so often. With this I just run it and I can access everything from my main PC! BTW it looks like that issue crafty had with casa os has now been resolved but I still changed the file locations because I thought they made more sense.
After a server restart it seems that casaOS is still running but I can't access the web ui. CasaOS's wiki is useless contains just a few paragraphs of information and no mention or troubleshooting Edit: Did a complete reinstall of casaOS and now I can turn my server off and on without issues. Idk why it messed up before
I lucked out and found a 5825u mini pc for $200. Plenty fast to run minecraft. Thank you for this tutorial. I had no idea so many of these solutions existed! Makes deploying the thing a whole lot easier.
Very awesome and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you!! I like that you ran into this bug even though it's fixed now for one major reason: If you partition /home separate from /, then the workaround you have for the bug is also an easy way to move the server data onto the correct partition. The bug is fixed now btw, but please keep this around even if you do update the video as it's really useful info.
Mate your videos are amazing keep it up i followed your video "Building A Minecraft Server With 12 Year Old PC" on a Samsung laptop from 2009 and omg it just worked amazingly!
Thank you so much for this guide! I've been searching a long time for a solution for a decent server that I don't need to pay (monthly) for. I also didn't want to bother with the linux coding etc. so this really saved me!! Thanks!
I just did this! And I'm only sort of a geek mom - not a super geek. We bought a used a computer/server from a local computer repair store and set it up ourselves. This will save us so much $ for the minecraft experience. Thanks so much for the video - it turned into a great Sunday family project! I did discover a new thing. There is an issue with the Crafty login password in July. Admin/crafty is no longer the UN and pw to log in the first time... instead - the crafty password is found on the Casa drive - in files, app data, crafty, config, default creds. copy and paste the password in that ... and once into Crafty then update the password.
I personally use Windows,MCSS (MCServerSoft), And No-IP DUC (Dynamic Update Client) for my server, it is 90% free, only paid part is a key for the windows version of your choice
These off lease enterprise computers on eBay are awesome. They're dirt cheap, and 6th Gen i5 computers are still perfectly adequate for most people's needs. You could throw a GPU in some of the options that are out there, but you still have to measure your expectations with a dash or reality. These aren't gaming PCs, but I do use them for various server implementations often.
Nice. I have an older but still pretty powerful Dell edge tower server with duel 6 core xeons. I'm gonna get this set up with a couple of different servers. Thank you!
I did pterodactyl, and I'm somewhat proud and more satisfied than using a NAS-style OS. I like linuxing and it's very scalable. I used a script too, set up a DDNS and SSL over that domain
Oh my! I tweaked withg Casa OS and really loved it, but was just a random test to see how it worked, since i don't have a decent spaer computer for it. Now with your tutorial, it will be much easier to create a server to play with my friends ^ ^
for anyone who the jar server is down and crafty seemed to install correctly- follow his steps for the root folder and create your own paper server to upload. permission error was still there for me
I have followed all steps and it works! I can now play with my friends without having to pay for a host! I did buy a mini pc but that's just a one time expense hah.
for those who want to setup the schedule tasks more granularly you can use the cron option which you can set up to run at a specific hour minute day of week day of month month in year
Nice video, will need to try it out some time, as I've always been launching minecraft servers on linux by just playing around with files and console. Also you can assign the static IP address to the server, it will skip the process of searching for your router setting of reserving the IP address, the only required thing would be to take out this IP from the DHCP range, which is not rly mandatory.

I use playit with my pterodactyl server. I have loved the service so far, but some thing to consider is that it seems to be solely operated by one person so support for it can be spotty (through forums or discord). There was an issue a while back where their internal databases crashed when the person to fix it was out of town and had no access remotely, so if I'm not mistaken it took a day or two to fix.
There's also the issue that as the service grows it might become a target for ddos attacks. Which with one person, it might be harder to anticipate and implement counter measures or mitigations for.
I think I'll stick with playit, but if any of the issues mentioned is a big problem for you, ngrok is an alternative. Set up is a little more advanced than playit, but I imagine they are better staffed so support for issues will be quickly addressed.
This is exactly what I was planning on doing!!! Even with an elitedesk hahah, I have been watching a lot of your videos that have been helping me to understand this things of self hosting!!
Thank you in advance, I'll be doing this hopefully next month!
Lets go, thank you ive been waiting for a new updated video like this. For about 3 years/ the last time you made one of these. All goes to you
I've been using crafty since v3.0 and it's a very good a trusty panel for minecraft hosting
Good to hear! I haven’t been using it quite that long but it’s been really solid
It doesn’t have support for reverse proxy?
@@HeieiX It does support reverse proxies. Their documentation even has guides for many of the main reverse proxies. I set mine up with Nginx Proxy Manager and it just worked fine.
Bro will this server cause internet issues i mean can it affect my wifi ?
@@rafing2163 Not unless you have an insane amount of traffic on your server or get DDoSed. If you're not handing out the URL to your server to random people, that shouldn't be a huge issue.
Is Hardware Haven becoming more.... crafty?
Eyo! You should write my titles for me!
@@HardwareHaven I should! Why do you think Asustor pays me? I do their English work in addition to brand management. Lmao
🤔
giving mining rig a whole new meaning

Hello, huge fan of your content! Just a quick tip, if people dont want to set static ip to the casaos, and don't want to meddle with the router settings to find the right ip, they can use advanced ip scanner, (portable or not doesnt matter), they can search the ip of the devices and most of the time it will write in the description what that ip is for. Its very easy to use and saves a lot of trouble!
I don’t plan on making minecraft servers but I can’t stop watching these videos because it’s so fascinating to see these little machines work. Something about them is so captivating to me.
Amazing. I was thinking of setting up a minecraft home server for my son. Great video, THANKS!!
This was awesome. I'm trying to figure out how to do this for a long time. But now it's so much easier. I've never been good at port forwarding and tunnels and all that but now it seems like it's going to be so simple. I've got a bunch of kids that want to play Minecraft with my son so this will be perfect
On the subject of game servers, I'd love to see you talk about making an at home game server for game devs! I know there's cloud services like AWS or Linode but having your own personal server that you have complete control over seems like the best option. I've been trying to put together one but always end up getting stuck at making the server available to outside networks. Also helps for just small testing so I don't eat up my free trial of AWS too.
Pterodactyl is great and works (theoretically) with any game. As for making it available to the internet, depending on what you want to expose, youll have more or less luck. ive personally spent a few days reverse proxying my entire pterodactyl setup (panel, wings and game servers), for which there exists really no documentation. even now i still have to deal with individual issues from game servers, like source engine games showing my public ip as the server host instead of the proxy ip.
@@doopiewop3834 I'll take a look into that, thanks!
I personally use ngrok for reverse proxy. It's as simple as 'ngrok tcp 25565' for a public java server and for a web page it's http instead of tcp. When sharing web pages you can even lock it with Google auth by requiring the user to use the same google account in the allowed email list
I created minecraft server using termux on my local network
@@Anime_weeb06 same. I made a 1.20.1 forge server
Super impressed with how simple this whole process is, and how polished Casa and Crafty look! Been playing around with it today and I'm really happy with it, thanks man :)
DHCP Reserve Leases are always a good option. Same with Static IPs and if you static IP it make sure its outside the DHCP scope of your router.
How can I do this if I reserved my IP already?
@@Acrobia reserve is usually handled in the router.
@@GhostieXV Oh! Do you mean like installing? Isc-dhcp-server?
@@Acrobia no on the DHCP settings of your router you can reserve your IP leases there.
Depending on what kind of router your home network has. They will vary by brand
just spent 5hrs making a vanilla server in ubuntu with just a terminal and permanently running in issues. youre a heaven sent angel
This channel really blew up since the last time I watched it, I followed the ubuntu server how to back when he had 45k subscribers 😂. Congrats on the 180k🎉
this is actually nice, since I already have a spare computer I commonly nickname "the server", gonna see if some of my friends are up to the idea of having a MC server again.
So very cool! Didn't even know about crafty controller...manually installed into docker...got it running...trying to install forge for my daughter...boy howdy is there ALOT to that install!
Thanks so much for this...I have it running on a HP EliteDesk 705 G2 MINI w/ 8GB RAM and AMD PRO A8-8600B R6 4C+6G (4) @ 1.600GHz processor I got online from EBAY a while back for like $100~, and a 128GB SSD..runs Debian 12 like a boss!
Keep em coming!!!!
wow you got fucking stealed
Got this set up and it's working great! I've always wanted to run a server on linux with scheduled backups. Thanks for making this!
You should use pterodactyl panel,because is also based on docker and is more complete
Can be tidious to set up for those who don't know how to with linux sadly.
It's made more for hosting on scale than small basement servers. But works wonderfully if set up well!
@@domiibunnthere's a unofficial install script that does everything for you but unfortunately you need to own an actual domain to use pterodactyl, other than that it's really easy to set up
Literally inspired me to run a Minecraft server on my laptop that doesn't get much use anymore. Was trying to figure out how to make the server public because I didn't feel like setting up port forwarding. Now all my friends I totally have can play Minecraft on my server. Thanks Hardware Haven!
How can they play on your server, you share with them your public IP?
This came at a good time. I've hosted Minecraft servers before just with the basic way of doing it on Windows which is not hard. And recently, I added an Ubuntu virtual machine to my NAS and went through the process of running a Minecraft server in Ubuntu. Well it was going great but then I tried to VNC into my VM a few days later and the whole thing crashed, deleting the server entirely. And I have no idea what I'm doing in Ubuntu so I don't even know if it's recoverable. So yeah I think I'm going to keep my Ubuntu install but use CasaOS and Crafty, since that seems much easier and more my speed. Even following a tutorial, setting up a server via Ubuntu in the terminal was a nightmare.
Pretty in depth yet kinda requires some knowledge for safety reasons and error troubleshooting, I use LXC on my proxmox server which comes with prebuilt turnkey utilities yet I use vanilla base debian 10, 11 or even 12 for my servers and it naturally skips the installation process of debian and network configuring in terminal (etxc/network/interfaces).
Like your tutorial and Crafty Controller is THE BEST Minecraft server panel and hosting method.
10/10
I do not get a plugins folder when I make a server. When I make a plugins folder and out the playit plugin into that folder I do not see the playit URL.
me neither
@kyleramsey4627 good chance you guys tried to run a different server like vanilla. To use mods or plugins you'll need to run a server like paper or fabric, etc.
Thank you for this video step by step.
I saw crafty on your other videos and I installed it for some weeks now. It much easier than manage spigot building server.
Thank for the discovery too.
I have always liked mineos but this seems a lot more user friendly
Just got to say, what an amazing video!! I have a old Xeon E5 from aliexpress that i was not using and decided to create my server on it. For now on, I'll try to use it for every game that I play!
I'm having an issue just after installing Debian 12:
After the computer reboots and the Linux terminal should open, it instead an empty black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left shows. In the video there is much more information displayed there (11:10). No matter what I type in nothing ever happens. The only thing I've done differently than the tutorial is just before the end of Debian's installation when it prompted me to install GRUB and even after requesting it not to be installed it, installs anyway.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks.
You’ll need to do the install again, but you do need to install GRUB. I thought that was the default option but maybe it’s not
@@HardwareHaven Thanks for the speedy reply, yes that was the fix. Not sure why I thought installing GRUB would mess with the install.
@@ProjectBuddle Hey maybe you can help me, how do you install "Grub". there's literally nothing online about how to install it with debian.
@@smg_collin5146 It is one of the components installed automatically in the installation process. It is not shown in the video however as it is set to install by default. If you disabled GRUB while installing, you will need to start the process over.
I also created a Minecraft server according to your tutorial, and it was worth it for me, especially with electricity prices of 60 cents! 🙌🏻
PC: MS-01
CPU: i9-13900H (Max: 5.4GHz)
RAM: 48GB DDR5 5200MHz
SSD: Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB (7000MB/s)
Idle: 6W
Normal Use: 25W
Max load: 50W - 68W
i keep getting manifest unknown when trying to download crafty
THANK YOU!
Your old tutorial was fantastic and this one looks even better!
never gave us the links
Just type them. It’s on the screen and he says most of them out loud
Fyi. Your old TrueNAS videos really helped me stand up a new NAS. Thank you for your work.
Oh awesome! Hope it works well for you! Thanks for all your positive comments, Johnny!
So far so good. I’m considering switching to the Linux based TrueNAS as I’m not as familiar with FreeBSD
you look like you about to cry bruh
Wow, I don't know for how long those services were available but it's so cool to see how Minecraft server management has progressed. At my time I used only putty and filezilla to manage all resources and config files but the main problem of course was to properly set up all plugins... Damn that was a torture taking into account that English is not my native language but that was a good "kick" to learn both - Linux administration and the language :)
definitely going to refer back to tis video when I get my MircoATX Server Build finished
WOW this video explains every thing so well i went from someone not knowing any thing about Minecraft servers to learning so much about them keep up the good work
Straight up Thank you for this, after spending most of a Saturday trying to cut and paste Linux commands from various articles splattered throughout the internet trying to make a server for my two children to play on your video made all the difference now I have a reliable server that will restart after a power outage itself and also make a backup without any fuss.
My only complaint is that home assistant run and docker form cannot do a lot of the add-ons I would like it to because I'd like to make this server multifaceted. you did a phenomenal job explaining and showing what needed to happen.
Thanks again
Pulled out an old dell xps after seeing this video. Halfway to setting up a mincraft server for my son and his friends!
Use paper or similar only AND ONLY if you're a casual player that doesn't make farm or redstone contraptions. Paper breaks vanilla mechanics even with the least amount of settings. Just use a normal fabric performance server modpack to achieve better performance and 100% vanilla mechanics coverage so your contraptions and farms will always 100% work as intended.
You can just press enter rather than typing y to install packages because the y is uppercase
Thank you so much for making an easier tutorial than your other one with the Compaq PC 🤝
You've quickly become one of my favorite RUclipsr's! Keep it up. Your content is interesting, well edited and informative!! I'm gonna look into this and see id something easy exists for setting up Valheim game server s in a similar fashion.
This is the best way to make a minecraft server. Thank you
I come from AMP which is often called the easiest game panel but this one is for sure easier and straight forward! Nice video.
Takes me back to when I made a server as a kid, we all bought mc for like £9 and played for weeks over the summer together with mods on
I have to say Crafty is one of the easiest to setup and use. I have it running on my UNRAID server thru Docker. Great video!!
Neat, I've been planning to host my own server all this time with my hardware and finally found this
All these GUI tools are interesting, and I do respect the work put into them by the developers. But on the other hand, isn't it a lot simpler to learn how to navigate your way around the filesystem using a terminal, making the entire process a lot shorter and, in a way, more convenient?
Especially for a project that is DIY and self-hosting oriented, it's important to learn a little bit about what you're doing to not expose your computer and network to danger.
This video is done to complete beginners who aren't even good at their main operating system. So throwing them into the pit of "do sudo -rm -rf ./" is not a good thing.
Also, learning unix just for starting game servers is kinda meh (I did that back in 2012).
Congratulations on the amazing tutorial! I didn't know about the CasaOS and Crafity projects. What amazing projects! Thanks a lot!
Great video! Used information to deploy to a Mac mini (Late 2014) and an older HP desktop Pavilion. Worked perfectly Thank you!
13:39 an alternate option if you don't want or can't access the router to fix the ip is just set to the server a static IP outside the range of DHCP but inside the subnet, usually the router only reservers something between 32 to 100 ips for the DHCP from the 253 availble ips (the 254th is the router, as gateway)
Excellent production quality. Fantastic topic and walk-through.
Next project ideas! How about something on setting up your own, local ChatGPT instance via ollama?
Love this. Last year I was running a modded fabric server with 20 people playing on it on POP OS. While I love pop os it eats 3-4GB out of 16 of the memory I need for my minecraft server. Plus I had do backups, edits, restarts and everything else manually. Not to mention I had to get up and go into another room then turn on the TV to re-configure the server every so often. With this I just run it and I can access everything from my main PC! BTW it looks like that issue crafty had with casa os has now been resolved but I still changed the file locations because I thought they made more sense.
After a server restart it seems that casaOS is still running but I can't access the web ui. CasaOS's wiki is useless contains just a few paragraphs of information and no mention or troubleshooting Edit: Did a complete reinstall of casaOS and now I can turn my server off and on without issues. Idk why it messed up before
I lucked out and found a 5825u mini pc for $200. Plenty fast to run minecraft. Thank you for this tutorial. I had no idea so many of these solutions existed! Makes deploying the thing a whole lot easier.
Really great presentation. You should create a 'sleepy' playlist. Your voice is so ASMR. I need MAWR!
Very awesome and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you!! I like that you ran into this bug even though it's fixed now for one major reason: If you partition /home separate from /, then the workaround you have for the bug is also an easy way to move the server data onto the correct partition. The bug is fixed now btw, but please keep this around even if you do update the video as it's really useful info.
Mate your videos are amazing keep it up i followed your video "Building A Minecraft Server With 12 Year Old PC" on a Samsung laptop from 2009 and omg it just worked amazingly!
Thank you so much for this guide! I've been searching a long time for a solution for a decent server that I don't need to pay (monthly) for. I also didn't want to bother with the linux coding etc. so this really saved me!!
Thanks!
crafty is great, my friends asked me last summer to put up a minecraft server so i have a docker container on my vps with crafty installed.
Bro that's literally what I'm trying right now, even on the same PC!
I just did this! And I'm only sort of a geek mom - not a super geek. We bought a used a computer/server from a local computer repair store and set it up ourselves. This will save us so much $ for the minecraft experience. Thanks so much for the video - it turned into a great Sunday family project! I did discover a new thing. There is an issue with the Crafty login password in July. Admin/crafty is no longer the UN and pw to log in the first time... instead - the crafty password is found on the Casa drive - in files, app data, crafty, config, default creds. copy and paste the password in that ... and once into Crafty then update the password.
I personally use Windows,MCSS (MCServerSoft), And No-IP DUC (Dynamic Update Client) for my server, it is 90% free, only paid part is a key for the windows version of your choice
These off lease enterprise computers on eBay are awesome. They're dirt cheap, and 6th Gen i5 computers are still perfectly adequate for most people's needs. You could throw a GPU in some of the options that are out there, but you still have to measure your expectations with a dash or reality. These aren't gaming PCs, but I do use them for various server implementations often.
Nice. I have an older but still pretty powerful Dell edge tower server with duel 6 core xeons. I'm gonna get this set up with a couple of different servers. Thank you!
I've been thinking about doing this for my son. This will help. Thank you!
I did pterodactyl, and I'm somewhat proud and more satisfied than using a NAS-style OS. I like linuxing and it's very scalable. I used a script too, set up a DDNS and SSL over that domain
I have done it on a Linux Virtualbox and it was very easy and free!
Hand-down the BEST minecraft server guide out there! An absolute deus ex machina for my own server setup. THANK YOU!
Brilliant tutorial, just what i have been after. Thank you!
I love your channel. It's the cheap computers showcased in a way that I just like
I was looking for something like this! Thanks... I was trying to do something with Cloudflare but this is much more convenient for Minecraft ^^
I followed this and it just worked, I am amazed.
Thank you
Oh my! I tweaked withg Casa OS and really loved it, but was just a random test to see how it worked, since i don't have a decent spaer computer for it. Now with your tutorial, it will be much easier to create a server to play with my friends ^ ^
for anyone who the jar server is down and crafty seemed to install correctly- follow his steps for the root folder and create your own paper server to upload. permission error was still there for me
I have followed all steps and it works! I can now play with my friends without having to pay for a host! I did buy a mini pc but that's just a one time expense hah.
Whenn you play modded mc you can’t use plugins how can I play with my Friends then?
I literally just set up that exact same Prodesk with CasaOS on it yesterday! This video is like a tutorial of my afternoon 👍
for those who want to setup the schedule tasks more granularly you can use the cron option which you can set up to run at a specific hour minute day of week day of month month in year
this wouldve saved my life 3 years ago, now i dont play minecraft but for sake of nostalgia i might do it in summer
are you me ? i used to pay like 20$ a month me and my friends to run a server 10 years ago , i think this could work to be a cloud
Thanks for the links btw
You forgot something very important, a fast internet upload speed is required with a STATIC public IP for multiplayer.
Nice video, will need to try it out some time, as I've always been launching minecraft servers on linux by just playing around with files and console. Also you can assign the static IP address to the server, it will skip the process of searching for your router setting of reserving the IP address, the only required thing would be to take out this IP from the DHCP range, which is not rly mandatory.
