Thank you sir! That is fantastic, a quick response as well as everything installing cleanly. If I may, another question myself as well as others will probably want to know - now that openjdk17 is going in as the default java version, a lot of us are going to be left with previously made minecraft servers that were 1.16 and earlier which will not start up without openjdk8.
I have been fiddling around with different scenarios trying to get the original version back:
"Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.8.0_265, installed at /usr/local/openjdk8-jre"
Running a "pkg install openjdk8" or "pkg install openjdk8-jre" doesn't give me the same version. The previously installed minecraft servers will start up but then throw a bunch of errors (I am assuming due to version incompatibilities) and then shuts down.
What did work but feels really sloppy (and I'm sure-very incorrectly) was doing a copy folder command from the openjdk8-jre folder in the original mineos jail, to the same folder location in the newly created jail. I also have to edit the server.config file of each of the older existing minecraft servers and add an extra line to tell it to use the copied version.
"java_binary=/usr/local/openjdk8-jre/bin/java"
Is there a way I can just run a pkg install for this specific java 8 version? Also, can I make the java 8 version the default so I don't have to edit the server.config file for every existing minecraft server instance I have? I don't mind adding the extra line in any 1.17+ I create in the future (I actually think that is kind of nice to be able to specify specific versions through the config file) but everything I have created up to this point has been 1.16 versions and earlier that have run using jdk8.
Thanks again for any help here,
