John's 1.12.2

This is a dockerized forge server for minecraft 1.12.2 (via itzg/minecraft-server). It pulls from this mod pack.

Install

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jagprog5/modpack-server

Create the env file:

cp env .env

Then, get a curseforge api key and put it in the .env file.

Consider installing server functions (see install-functions below).

Commands

Thin wrapper around docker compose:

make start # start it

# all commands below should be invoked on a running server
make enter # console
make stop # stop it

# utility
make backup # create a backup now (already does it periodically)
make restore-backup # replaces current world with latest backup

make install-functions # OPTIONAL setup see script for details

Startup

This setup is optional. It can be skipped.

The server is configured to auto stop when idle for too long. This necessitates a startup mechanism. listener contains a web server that listens to port 25579 and calls the above make start when a GET is received (this can be called any number of times, it's only effective if the server is not already running).
