Oh wow, what a fantastic resource. I too have been trying to lower the barrier of entry, I have a working one click installer to GCP via a Github button. It syncs via Terraform so it can be updated by the users very easily: https://github.com/boardingparty/minecraft_gcp https://github.com/boardingparty/minecraft_gcp
The installation turns itself off within 24 hours so you can never rack up a big bill. My running costs are less than $2 per month.
- gen220 6y agoHey this is awesome! It reminds me how I built something like this too, along with a little dashboard web server that allows my friends to start the server, read the status and connection address, and display how much it costs to run per hour. My “turns itself off” mechanism was based on skimming the network port for SYNs and FINs, and storing a counter. Good times :) Minecraft is a great gateway drug to software.
- tlarkworthy 6y agoGreat idea on the network metrics as dead mans switch (I think I would just use established connections, but the idea is the same).
