Minecraft Forums

Alright, so this might be a total noob question and I'll accept that. I'm a total noob at linux... well, gui-less linux anyway. Also, free free to yell at me and point to other places these questions have been answered. I'm fine with that. I'm just not sure where else to ask.

Here's the end goal:
Setup a service like Dropbox or Wuala to act as a backup sync for my Minecraft server folders and have the service start as soon as the server starts. I've done this in Windows XP & Windows 7 (with Dropbox) and it works like a charm. The basic idea is that you install the service then setup symbiotic links from the Minecraft folders to the Dropbox folders.

Anyway. I'm having trouble setting this up with MineOS+. I can get Wuala to install and sync (kept getting permission errors with Dropbox) but as soon as I reboot everything in resets. I might be able to tell Wuala to use the /mtn/ drives to sync with but when I reset my Bash install goes away too and I need Bash to run Wuala.

So, I'm looking at re-installing GCC, Bash, and Wuala every single time I reboot the server and that just seems terribly inefficient.

I've read around and I'm about at my wits end with this. Anyone have any ideas or insights on how I could pull this off. Am I just being overly ambitious?

Wow, Did nobody read the last page?

Try adding the folders you need to remain to /opt/filetool.sh, things to need to start up with to bootlocal.sh and then save it with a filetool.sh -b.

Would you (or Phant0mX, more likely) please update the first post in the thread with the official website and other pertinent data?

Thanks!

That would probably help, but from what I've seen he has been a little inactive lately. I can't edit his post.

Hi,
is there any way i can change the format MineOS+ saves snapshots (using c10t)?
I want to link from my server website to the latest snapshot, without having to update the link each time i render a new map.
Maybe so that the filename becomes world-one-latest.png?

Thanks,
qrux

Other than editing something in one of the python scripts there aint much you can do...

I have put the folowing command in my Crontab

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * echo /bin/ping -c 1 192.168.1.1

that ip is the ip of my router, that way it keeps connected with my router. The question is, will it work?

edit:
I changed a little bit on the command and I got it right.
First, I made a folder on my backup partition (sda3).

cd /mnt/sda3/
mkdir pinglog

Then I edit the crontab

sudo crontab -u tc -e
add this command:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/ping -c 1 192.168.1.1 > /mnt/sda3/pinglog/ping.log

Every 5 minutes, it does a ping to my router and writes the info in the ping.log file. This information is like this:

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=6.561 ms

--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 6.561/6.561/6.561 ms

When I have time I will put it in the wiki too

edit2:Still looking for one thing, it always overwrites the ping.log file, I prefer it would add the info. Not such a big problem but still. And I prefere the name of the day + hour.log, not ping.log, don't know how to do that though

make it like

sudo crontab -u tc -e
add this command:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/ping -c 1 192.168.1.1 >> /mnt/sda3/pinglog/ping.log

you might want to add the date aswell.

I'm sorry, I dont know except maybe make a script that adds the date to the log and run that before the ping?

Niiiice, could you look at my logo suggestion for the wiki? its in the Comments section for the main page.

If you guys need help with the web layout I would be interested. I just could not do any php or mysql.

How do I change the IP address? I am trying ifconfig stuff, but it wont stick. Any ideas?

I don't quite know what you are trying to do?
Are you trying to set a static ip adress ?

If so, there's a script someone made which I'll dig out if that's you're problem.

The problem is that it is static. It keeps setting it to 10.x.x.x I need it to be auto, would be best.

Is the router automatically setting it so?

No, the router is setting IPs to 192.1.1.xx . That is why I think it is funky.

EDIT: Found it... Apparently VM likes to give it its own IP and junk >.> That would of been nice to know.

Are you talking to me?

It was just a suggestion, but okies, I'll clean it up a bit.

Okay, I have cleaned It up a bit, Any comments?

I created a server mod=pure. Is there a way through the web admin to make change that to use bukkit? and if i ever want to disable bukkit for a server how would i go about doing that through the web admin.

What would be the best way to also do this through SSH?

There are dedicated Forums Here:Link Removed

If you have any more problems please post there.

I'm trying to change what port the web server is listening on, I can't find any way to do that.
(This is the one on 8080)

How could I go about doing that?

Ahh I had no idea about MineOS+, I thought MineOS had been abandoned! Is this still being worked on? And is there by chance a 64 bit version available or in the works? If any help is needed, please let me know. :smile.gif:
