[FreeNAS 9 Plugin] - MineOS

[Jurgen Segaert]

No, there's no pre-set limit. Some of the ATLauncher and/or Feed-The-Beast modpacks are massive and require a lot memory; they may not even start under 3GB. Just don't shoot yourself in the foot and leave 8GB for FreeNAS! :)

 

[sjp770]

Yeah no worries. I have 10Gb allocated for a 4x4TB zfs pool on 11.2. U2. Might up it a bit.

Hey there, can anyone tell me what's the most straightforward way to launch a minecraft server on FreeNAS 11.2 nowadays?

A jail, Ubuntu? MineOS? The MineOS plugin says it's just a collection of tutorials, not sure why that needs to be installed even, can't it just be text somewhere? :)

 

[Jurgen Segaert]

If you're running 11.2, the easiest way is to install the MineOS plugin.

The description is indeed confusing and has been fixed, but that change hasn't made it to the 11.2-RELEASE branch yet.

Hi! Im fairly new to FreeNas and am running a 11.1 u7. I've tried about 10 times to try and get all these guides to work and ends up in failure. Can someone help me out!

I keep encountering errror when trying to start mineos after updating
Starting mineos.
Shared object "libdl.so.1" not found, required by "libuv.so.1"
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mineos: WARNING: failed to start mineos

I’m am running the latest stable version of Freenas 11.2-u7. After installing the mineos plugin I log into the mineos GUI with default mcserver mcserver. I download the latest jar profile then attempt to create new server. The new server does not show up? What am I missing?

 

[Jurgen Segaert]

The new server does not show up?

Did you check that the "mount_procfs" and "mount_linprocfs" boxes are checked as per the post linked below?

I'm getting an error on 11.2-U7 when trying to install the plugin...

[EFAULT] Exception: CallError:[EFAULT] pkg error: - pkg-static: repository meta /var/db/pkg/plugin-default.meta has wrong version 2 pkg-static: Repository plugin-default load error: meta cannot be loaded No error: 0 pkg-static: repository meta /var/db/pkg/plugin-default.meta has wrong version 2 pkg-static: repository meta /var/db/pkg/plugin-default.meta has wrong version 2 pkg-static: Repository plugin-default load error: meta cannot be loaded No error: 0 Please check your network occured, destroyed mineos.

Has anyone resolved this?

 

[Jurgen Segaert]

Thank you for your report. FreeBSD 11.2 reached its end-of-life, and you'll have to install the 11.3 version manually if you're not ready yet to switch to FreeNAS 11.3. From the command line, run the following commands in 11.2-U7:

Code:

fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jsegaert/iocage-my-plugins/master/mineos.json
iocage fetch -P -n mineos.json vnet=on dhcp=on bpf=yes defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"

Note that the defaultrouter IP address 192.168.0.1 may be different for your network; it is supposed to be the default gateway, typically the IP address of your router; change as needed.

This will take a while, be patient! Once the plugin is installed, you'll be able to manage it via the FreeNAS UI as per normal.

Installation successful after I upgraded to 11.3. Thanks for your help!

With MineOS the plugin never uses https even when configured to in mineos.conf and having the default generated keys. "Manage" link under plugins is even a http link. Which makes letting remote users access it sketchy as passwords could potentially be intercepted.

MineOS also lacks builtin ftp support and crash detection/auto restart. The ftp isnt a big deal but is very convenient as it prevents messing with sshd config and chrooting users. But the crash detection/auto restart is amazing especially for a frequently unattended server.

Multicraft has all these features, and is what I used previously on a ubuntu server rented in the cloud. Has anyone successfully installed multicraft on FreeNAS or know of a guide?

hi everyone
New to freenas and running FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2. I installed the plugin for mineos and was planning on running a server for the kids.
Since I just created this and could easily reverse, are there any updated guides on this process - I see mentions of not using jails. Pretty new to linux but I can follow directions pretty well :)
I did set up a new server after downloading a jar, etc but cannot connect to it when in the game on the pc, I was not sure if it was the network settings for the jail.
Anyway, any help would be great, if it is simply pointing me to a guide that would be great.
thanks again

Has anyone been able to update the MineOS plugin jail from 11.2 to 11.3? I've got a working MineOS plugin running in an 11.2 jail under FreeNAS 11.3U2. I wanted to bring the jail OS up to date so I tried an iocage upgrade, but I get this output. Basically it seems like it can't find the java/node/etc. packages for 11.3.

I just did a fresh install on FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2 ; it installed all those same packages. Could this have been a temporary network hiccup or outage?

I'm not sure - I ended up just migrating my Minecraft data into a dedicated dataset, then destroying the plugin and creating a new one from scratch, and mounting the data back into it. It's a better setup this way anyway.

 

[Nerdlinger]

fresh install of mineos plugin on FreeNAS-11.3-U5 gives Error: Exception: RuntimeError Message: pkg error: - devel/git-lite : Refusing to fetch artifact and run post_install.sh!
Any ideas?
