Right. So a bunch of steps that is more in depth with virtual machines Rather than actual setting up a minecraft server in 2024 with the current Java situation and Mojang using experimental versions of Java. Making it impossible for users to actually decompile their server files when dowloaded.

This has to be the best video I have seen! The composition is excellent as well as the editing and the steps themselves. LinuxBTW has to be the pinnacle of epicness!

Crafty Controller is really cool too and easy to install, and it allows you to create more Minecraft servers on the same machine!

20:55 - How did you stop editing the yml file and start typing the command?

[@levindrave]

press the esc key and then type :w

[@rekt_gg]

how would i add more people to the whitelist at 20:51 ? would it be "usernamex, usernamey"?

[@BlastedMC]

12:56 you can also just use CMD or Terminal on Windows, I personally use terminal

[@tamasbotondlaszlo3903]

Can I use it with T launcher

[@shenkay]

This is a GREAT video, thanks a lot for this. all I needed in 1 video. Excellent content.

[@winddancer77]

thanks so much for this comprehensive guide! is there a reason you chose a VM over a Container? Just starting with proxmox and want to learn! ;)

[@iTzMeGoose]

Super helpful and very easy to follow i cant wait to see what else i can do with my first mc serve

[@MrAugustoTr]

how can i add a admin panel like online hosting services ?

[@dxrkware]

Thanks bro, using my PS4 now!

[@itcloudguy]

This is the most incredible video I've ever seen in my life! Because I love virtual machines, I love Linux, I love Docker and Kubernetes, I love Minecraft! And I love your channel forever! You made me happy in this world happy FOREVER! Thank you so much! You're AWESOME!!! You show everything, you explain everything, you show every important moments during installation. I do not know what to tell you. I have no words! You are incredible!

Do you know how I would reset the world? My seed sucked and I want to refresh for a better one.

[@michaellopez3681]

I want to run a server with ~110 mods, I have a PC with 16 cores and 32GB RAM. Would I assign each VM with 1 core? or 2 cores and assign the server 1 core and another core for all the other processes outside of minecraft?

[@iFixJapan]

Thanks bro very usefull informations,,

[@begineizer]

Unfortunately, couldn't get passed the "Setting up Docker permissions and groups" part. Tried 3 times from scratch in Proxmox VM, always stuck same place, getting an error.

[@PhillipRapp1]

What error are you getting?

[@bacconbaccon4851]

If I’m already running Ubuntu operating system should I run a virtual machine?

[@levindrave]

there is no need

[@EvaristeGwanulaga]

would this work on a linux container? or ubuntu server vm is a must?

[@levindrave]

should work in a container

[@adifoto6362]

that's grate, exactly what i need it. thanks

[@thefirstadventure1851]

so if i understand i need a separate drive or ssd to host it on?

[@danielstellmon5330]

You do not need a separate HDD.

[@justinzeiter4064]

not really you can just leave out the ubuntu server download part

[@dravenm4]

"docker compose up -d" does nothing but give me a menu

[@justinzeiter4064]

youve probably written something wrong in the docker-compose.yml file

[@paycraft8174]

hey i tried doing that but now none of my friends can joing any ideas how to fix that?

[@danielstellmon5330]

You will need to be on the same network, or have a host domain set up. Setting up a domain is outside the scope of this video.

[@nobo4960]

how do i go back and edit the yml file?

[@danielstellmon5330]

You will need to find the file, then open it in a text editor like notepad, nano, vscode, etc.
