I guess it would be nice to see some reviews, comparations, discussions, tutorials about proffesional and dedicated (and commercial of course) servers usage for minetest. Clear rules for recommending, testing and reviewing commercial services would be more desirable here. That would be nice from the point of view of maintaining order and transparency, this would avoid misunderstanding and help finding faster what you search on forums. I thought it should be better to tag those posts in some specific way, with some text in title or at the begining, flag or colours or whtever.
#MINETEST SERVER HOSTING SOFTWARE#
I do not think that posting adveristment at open-source community forums are somehow wrong (in the end it's not the same as free software concept), but there have been some more posts advertising servers lately. This post looks like commercial adveristment (at least to me). Their billing is flexible and not based on minimum amounts per month, so if your server is low population, AWS EC2 may be a cost effective alternative hosting solution. After creating the instance, you should be able to modify the security group and open ports, add more local users, and start building your minetest server.Īfter a year of usage, AWS will start billing you for usage. You will need to create SSH keys and provide them to AWS so they can be put into your EC2 instance. The instance storage can be grown to suit your needs and a reboot of your instance will automatically add the required size to your partitions. Make sure to pick the t2.micro instance type when creating an instance. You can find ClearLinux in the AWS MarketPlace and create instances without having to upload images, and these ClearLinux images are supported by the ClearLinux Project Team. Fortunately, ClearLinux has built in packages for minetest.
Therefore, you should pick ClearLinux ( DISCLAIMER: I work, professionally, on ClearLinux) as the best and most efficient solution(* my opinion, not necessarily that of my employer) to run a minetest server. If you run a standard Debian, Ubuntu or other distribution, you will exceed your Free Tier CPU allocation quickly. My advice, if you want to try this, is to use an optimized Linux Distribution that minimizes the CPU time.
#MINETEST SERVER HOSTING HOW TO#
You will need to know UNIX basics, account management, SSH, and learn how to navigate the AWS webpages.
You will require a credit card, and a phone number to confirm your identity. To stay within the Free Tier, use only EC2 Micro instances. AWS Free Tier includes 750 hours of Linux and Windows t2.micro instances each month for one year.
