Running a Server

Now that you've read about the project, it's time to set up a server to play with your friends! We'll walk through the "traditional" way of running a PGM server, similar to how you would run a Bukkit server. If you want to learn more about running servers, please see some additional documentation here.

Installation

  1. Select the folder where you want to store your server files.
cd /path/to/folder
  1. Download the latest version of SportPaper, a fork of the Minecraft 1.8 server.
curl https://pkg.ashcon.app/sportpaper -Lo sportpaper.jar
curl https://pkg.ashcon.app/sportpaper-config -Lo sportpaper.yml
  1. Create a plugins folder and download the latest version of PGM.
mkdir plugins
curl https://pkg.ashcon.app/pgm -Lo plugins/pgm.jar
  1. Run the server and enjoy playing PvP games with your friends!
java -jar sportpaper.jar nogui

Advanced

You can also run an "out-of-the-box" PGM server as a container. This is a more advanced method of running a server and is only recommended if you have some basic knowledge about Docker.

  1. Pull the latest version of the PGM server.
docker pull electroid/pgm:latest # Gets the latest version
docker pull electroid/pgm:2019-10-25 # Gets the version on a specific date
  1. Run a PGM server with 1 GB of RAM and 2 CPUs. Read here for more detailed documentation.
docker run \
    -dit \
    -p 25565:25565 \
    --restart=unless-stopped \
    --memory-swappiness=100 \
    --memory=1G \
    --cpus=2 \
    --name=myserver \
    electroid/pgm:latest
  1. You can also run other docker commands to interact with the PGM server.
docker ps # List all servers
docker logs -f myserver # Tails the logs from the server
docker attach myserver # Access and run commands on the server
docker stop myserver # Stops the server, will not restart
docker start myserver # Starts a server, if stopped
docker restart myserver # Restarts the server
docker rm -f myserver # Stops and delete the server
