Title: minecraft on sme and java
Post by: Agent86 on January 22, 2013, 11:38:33 PM

Hi

I'm not sure if I should try to install java on SME or perhaps in an ibay or something
I would like to install the minecraft server

Hi Agent86
I tried this a while ago, I put it on a machine running vmplayer with sme 8, from what I can recall I just followed an example from the server site up guide on the minecraft site, however it was dog slow, you will need a good cpu and plenty of ram.
I did not go any further with it though.

cool thanks.
Did you install java just using the RPM or something or did you add a yum repo or something ? 
I put minecraft on a ubuntu desktop but didn't really need another box running so figured I could just ad this to the sme server somehow

As long as I can properly install java I don't know if this will create security issues or not with my sme box though
Also I wonder how much bandwidth this minecraft might chew up cause I like to play online games and don't want to create issues with that either
Thanks for the update

copy jar file into the html dir into an ibay

then download this (https://github.com/superjamie/minecraft-init-script/blob/master/minecraft) file into /etc/rc.d/init.d, edit it and modify where necessary, then create a link into /etc/rc7.d with

Code: [Select]

cd /etc/rc7.d
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/minecraft S99minecraft

alternatively, you can create a symbolic link to e-smith-service then

Code: [Select]

config set minecraft service status enabled

HTH

P.S. google -> "minecraft centos 5" will help you
