(#6db5eia) @prologic@twtxt.net This is the original Java Edition which is only for PC and doesn’t use Xbox Live, though you do need to use a Microsoft account to play it legitimately and join most servers. There is another version, Bedrock Edition, which is on consoles and phones as well and it uses Xbox Live.

On Bedrock, you can just invite another player into your world, but there are dedicated servers as well and they’re relatively easy to host.

(#6db5eia) @bender@twtxt.net I have used https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for a group of friends. I like it because the server can be configured entirely using environment variables in your compose file. The only exception as far as I can tell is configuration for any plugins or mods you install. Version, server type (vanilla, paper, etc), Java options, ops, whitelist, anything in server.properties, it’s all in the environment variables.

I’ve also heard good things about https://craftycontrol.com/ if you want a Web UI.

So, just a hobby. It won’t be big and professional like GNU, then?

Seriously, that’s very cool. I wish my bootloader was that excited about a successful boot.

(#yusdcya) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. It’s nice. I’ve had the same one through numerous router restarts and at least two 4-6 hour power outages. I’m definitely not paying for a wildly inflated business plan to self-host a few things. It was like that on my last ISP as well, although they only gave me about 20mbps up.


#ipt3zdq

(#h7phbna) @prologic@twtxt.net It looks interesting; definitely a novel approach. I just don’t think I have any use for it right now. I’ve thought about joining one those pubnixes that are around but I don’t think I’d ever do anything with an account on someone else’s server.

(#yusdcya) @prologic@twtxt.net I guess the difference is that your self-hosted services are publicly accessible so it allows such a setup. For me, everything is over Wireguard. If that link breaks and I’m not at home I can’t resolve domain names, let alone do any kind of server administration. That’s what the hidden service is for.

Early on, I was thinking about WAN IP address changes as well but it hasn’t happened in ~2.5 years with this ISP.

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

I have a Tor hidden service that lets me SSH into my server from anywhere. I never had to use it until last week. I was playing around with the port forwarding configuration on my router for Wireguard (migrating to a new server, very exciting), forgot to change it back, and found myself an hour away from home hoping to watch a show on Jellyfin. All it took to fix it was an SSH port forward through that hidden service to (very slowly) access my home router’s Web interface.


#yusdcya

Does anyone else declare a computer dead after extensive testing, let it sit on a shelf for 2 weeks or a year, try it again, and have it work fine? It seems like that’s happened to me a lot more than it should.
