Building a Minecraft Server Hosting Company Series - VLOG #1

I'm going to start a series where I document building out a minecraft server system / company. So far the tech I'm using includes React, Context Api, Express, Typescript, SQLite, Docker, Bootstrap.

I know this is an older video, but this is a really great idea. I've been searching for ideas for this as I have people who want a server but don't want to get technical with it and just have a place to play with friends. At the moment, they use Aternos (free Minecraft server hosting but it's not 24/7 and you get 1GB of RAM - sometimes 2GB) however they want something cheap, local, easy-to-use, reliable, and secure (I live within a 30km range or around 18.6 miles from the people/friends who want this done) Also, a cool idea is a 7-Day free trial which requires payment information so there cant be an "easy" way around it to get free hosting, and if the details have been used for a trial already, they cant be used again. Along with a pre-set domain, no choosing a domain (after all its free - the free trial anyway) I've taken a look at some newer videos on the same subject, and this concept and what has been achieved so far, is pretty awesome, it's not perfect but I could call this a functional company/web app/website. Hats off!

[@WebDevCody]

Thanks! Yeah I gave up on it but it was fun to play around with

[@lylampriv]

@@WebDevCody I'm gonna give it a shot, without stealing any code. Then it's just plagiarism. I might take inspiration and ideas from your videos and code though. Thanks! + 1 Subscriber

@@WebDevCody LIke Incase ur maken a server for ur modpack the owner servers would be free then everyone else gotta pay

[@TheRealJohnnyUT]

i recently got a commercial space as a residence and i started brainstorming this idea im glad others have looked into this it seems like a really legit idea! i like the idea of promoting to locals, ill post some posters in some nerd shop/card trading places and get a client list built!

[@probablyarth837]

You are definitely the coolest tech guy

[@WebDevCody]

Haha thanks man

[@itzliamnow]

great vid gonna watch all the videos!

[@kendallpinto]

This is a really cool idea.

[@captainray7465]

Cool idea. Just subscribed.

[@triggerboy3654]

Thank you

[@Itz_Ydav__]

Can you make a video in Hindi voice ❤

[@thayaganthusiyanthan9708]

An idea? Make a file manager so users can add plugins and add worlds.

[@WebDevCody]

Yeah I think setting up ftp is on the list and a ftp browser editor

[@HaukinimaFaanunu]

Hey I’ve been thinking about starting a similar project. You think it would be feasible/cost effective to implement it in AWS? I have lots of experience hosting Minecraft servers and decent experience with AWS. Was curious if you ever thought about it! Thanks for sharing, it looks like a fun project!

[@WebDevCody]

I doubt it. Most of these companies are over selling mc servers on the same machine. You probably need to setup a kubernetes cluster on your own cheap hardware to turn profit

[@DawssonMonroe]

no, do not do it. AWS is incredibly expensive for mc

I have a few questions. Does it run off your home internet? How do you get your PC downstairs to like know that someone purchase a server and they have to start it up. How do you make it where they can put there own domain like you give a custom random ip example 102.102.102 and then they put there own domain. And how do you give random ips when someone buys a server?

[@WebDevCody]

I haven’t touched this project in a while. Join my discord if you have questions

[@coderr_]

@@WebDevCody ok

[@bruhem2460]

​@@coderr_did you ever make one?

@@bruhem2460 nope

I have a problem with the minecraft server hosting project I am trying to practice but when I run the agent it gives me an error and I can only run the client please help thanks

[@StormyCraftDE]

Can you please show me how you did the website with the script

[@dundydunker]

I have been trying to create this as a personal project and I was curious as to how you were able to get a live terminal to a docker Minecraft server. I know you said websockets which I have tried that but there seems to be many ways to call the logs, what is the websocket actually fetching? I tried making it do a docker attach container_name to display the logs but i cant enter commands through that so i end up having to do rcon to send commands to it. There is a couple other ways I tried to implement it like fetching from a volume for the log file then refreshing the page and still using rcon but that doesn't seem ideal. Any tips would help! edit: After 40 hours of troubleshooting I found out it was my lack of knowledge of docker. I never put the -it tag in the docker container. docker run -d -it -e EULA=TRUE -p 25565:25565 --name mc-server itzg/minecraft-server docker attach mc-server

[@WebDevCody]

Glad you figured it out, it’s been years since I touched that code

[@rip.spacyr]

how to do this?

[@natnat999play]

WTF I JUST SAW THAT WHEN HE SAID SUBSCRIBE, THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON GLOWED ON MOBILE

[@jessekatuin7756]

Is tere a vlog 2?

[@WebDevCody]

Yeah this is part of a playlist

[@promethewz3457]

Could you please tell how can I run a Minecraft server in php/node js backend? or do I need something else for hosting a MC server?

[@WebDevCody]

to run a minecraft server you just need java and you need to download the minecraft server.jar file from mojang's website. checkout mcversions.net/

[@probablyarth837]

@PROME THEWZ Yea and then to host that you can just dockerize it and host it online

[@WebDevCody]

@@probablyarth837 yeah, but you don’t even need docker. I’m just using it to lock down memory usage basically since id have multiple servers on the same host

[@Galacticraft_]

ok

Please check your comments for review folder!

[@WebDevCody]

which comments? I'm not sure what you mean

[@kendallpinto]

@@WebDevCody I put a lot of comments, but they got deleted for some reason. In your creator studio, go to the held for review section.

[@kendallpinto]

Because of anti-spam, my comments were long.

[@kendallpinto]

Go to the comments section in creator studio and tap held for review, you should see mine there.

[@WebDevCody]

@@kendallpinto I don't see any from you in the held from review. KZbin comments kind of suck. Just join my discord and paste the comment in my "video ideas" thread.

E even i am trying to make a server hosting

[@kendallpinto]

Why are my comments keeping on getting deleted for spam lol.

Hi, where i can download this software? Or you can send me to discord?
