How to make a simple systemd minecraft server startup service
So I have spent around a month searching online and figuring out how to start a vanilla Minecraft server as soon ubuntu server boots, but I couldn't make it work.
Using Ubuntu Server 18.04LTS on Pentium G4560 with Intel 545s 512GB SSD with 8GB of RAM (its a physical box inside my basement so if for some reason direct access is needed)
Simply I have a Minecraft server instance in /home/petar/Minecraft and a script that i can use manually to start it up /home/username/petar/run.sh, what i found out is that you need a systemd service to run it so i made: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vanilla-mc.service and it goes like this:
[Unit]
Description=mc-vanilla-startup-service
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/petar/minecraft/run.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
than i used sudo systemctl enable vanilla-mc.service
and i rebooted my server
after it booted i typed in systemctl status vanilla-mc.service and got:
vanilla-mc.service - mc-vanilla-startup-service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/vanilla-mc.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2019-02-14 17:28:06 CET; 2h 36min ago
Main PID: 969 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.
WHY IT DOESN'T WORK ???
BTW here is ./run.sh from minecraft folder:`
#!/bin/sh
java -Xms1024M -Xmx3072M -jar server.jar -o true`
sorry for some reson i cant get formating to work correctly
server 18.04 java systemd minecraft
