After downloading the jar simply run it with a basic java command specifying the maximum ram if prefered.
java -Xmx5M -jar /.../.../ServerManager.jar
If the manager fails to start, Make sure you the following prerequisites installed:
- JAVA
- JPS
- SCREEN
- ZIP
To check, simply type the command followed by --help. If the command is not installed linux will provide you with the command to use to install it since all the prerequisites needed are native to most linux repositories.
Now that you started the manager you should keep these commands in mind which work in almost all of the manager menus
- help never you feel yourself lost on where you are or what commands do always type help.
- back You can always back out of any menu or any process so make sure to use it whenever stuck.
- clear Whenever you feel like the screen is filled with old output use clear to clear your screen and show you the current active menu.
-
quit you can quit the program from any place in the manager this is the equivelant of
ctrl + c. Note: quiting the manager does not stop any servers. it simply stops all the services and schedualed commands the manager provides.
- Make sure that the server is offline.
- Use the command
addfrom the main menu. - type in the name you want to give for the server.
- type in the path to the server's jar file ex. /home/oasis/survival/spigot.jar
And you're all set you can open the server's control menu using open servername from the main menu and start the server from the control menu.
To open the server's console open a new terminal and type screen -x servername.
An important thing to note is that the manager was initially made to be used linked to a monitoring plugin. Therefore i recommend linking all of your servers by following this guide.
- All linux distributions that have the 4 prerequisites installed.
