Tutorials Ubuntu startup script

Info

Prerequisites

• set up a user and group for minecraft so that it doesn`t run as root

 sudo adduser --system --home /srv/minecraft-server minecraft sudo addgroup --system minecraft sudo adduser minecraft minecraft # this adds user "minecraft" the group "minecraft" 

• hand your server-installation over to our new user, I have mine in /srv/minecraft-server

 sudo chown -R minecraft.minecraft /srv/minecraft-server 

• create and edit the start/stop script creating a new file under /etc/init/minecraft-server (NOT /etc/init.d but /etc/init (without the .d) ) make sure that you save the file as minecraft-server.conf

 sudo nano /etc/init/minecraft-server.conf 

and pasting the following into it. Don`t forget to change the directory after "chdir" to your installation

 # description "start and stop the minecraft-server"  start on runlevel 2345 stop on runlevel ^2345  console log chdir YOUR_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY setuid minecraft setgid minecraft  respawn respawn limit 20 5  exec /usr/bin/java -Xms1536M -Xmx2048M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui 

Above Explained (Note, this script isn`t usable.):

 # description "start and stop the minecraft-server"  Executes command `/usr/bin/java` > Invokes Java. `-Xms1536M` > Sets minimum allocated memory limit. `-Xmx2048M` > Sets MAXIMUM allowable memory limit. `-jar minecraft-server.jar` > Tells Java to run the jarfile minecraft_server.jar `nogui` > Tells minecraft-server.jar to run without a GUI. (Graphical screen). 

• Now install the start/stop to the default runlevels by running

 sudo initctl reload-configuration 

If you get an error saying the file does not exsist, try moving the minecraft-server file to /etc/init.d/ Also if after running sudo start minecraft-server says that they is no job for it, try running "sudo /etc/init.d/minecraft-server start"

Usage

• to start the server

 sudo start minecraft-server 

• to stop the server

 sudo stop minecraft-server 

Troubles?

You can check the server log by using:

 sudo tail /var/log/upstart/minecraft-server.log 

If that doesn`t help, just contact me: User:Cel1ne

With systemd

I have done a functional systemd script, if it can be useful...

I`ve created a user, as chown by Cel1ne.

After:

 sudo gedit  /etc/systemd/system/minecraft-server.service 

inside:

 Unit 
Description=start and stop the minecraft-server 

Service
WorkingDirectory=/srv/minecraft-server
User=minecraft
Group=minecraft
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=20 5
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -Xms1536M -Xmx1536M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

Install
WantedBy=multi-user.target 

To start the service:

 sudo service minecraft-server start 

To start after boot:

 sudo systemctl enable minecraft-server 

Voir le statut ("q" to go out of the view):

 systemctl status minecraft-server.service  

If you would like to interact with the server from your keyboard, you may use an alternative service configuration like this:

 Unit  Description=minecraft-server   Service WorkingDirectory=/home/minecraft/server User=minecraft Group=minecraft Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -h 2048 -dmS minecraft /usr/bin/java -Xms1536M -Xmx1536M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui  Install WantedBy=multi-user.target 

If you have changed the service file, you should issue the

 sudo systemctl daemon-reload 

command to update the system.
