Heph’s Minecraft Service

Assumptions

• No Java options are required (there is a VAR for them in srvctrl if needed)
• JAVA_HOME is located in /usr/bin/java (there is also a VAR to change the path to your Java installation)
• rdiff-backup and screen are installed as prerequisites

Instructions

• Maintain the directory structure (unless VARS in srvctrl are edited accordingly)
• Copy lines from crontab to the crontab for user minecraft _(if this user does not yet exist, use the following command to create it)

sudo useradd -m -d /home/minecraft minecraft

Notes

• home/minecraft/backup is the directory for the backup function
• home/minecrafy/crashdb is the directory where crash reports are dumped
• home/minecraft/minecraft is where server files should be placed
