Minecraft Autoinstaller scripts
I've seen a couple of times people asking how to install Minecraft server on VPS or on Linux host. In response I created this bunch of scripts which should help with installation:
https://github.com/Parsiuk/minecraft-autoinstaller
Scripts can be downloaded with command:
wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Parsiuk/minecraft-autoinstaller/refs/heads/master/get.sh | bash
Entire process takes around two minutes (including performance benchmark testing) and I recorded it as a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIKZBzSEW6Y
The script asks for root password to add current user to sudoers file, which is then required to install all required packages. The game server itself, however, runs as the logged in user.
I'm open to comments and suggestions.
