Can i use thiis as a cracked server and how if i can

How do we upgrade crafty now? ( Version: 4.2.2 to 4.2.3)
Me who doesn't plan to make a Minecraft server: Hmmm yes interesting.
Exactly. Haha
You think you would want to make one in the future but you will never make one. but you dont wanna miss out the method.
@@Czoy9 This is exactly why I never do anything other than absorb information. I may start on it, but I'll never finish what I started.

You could use chunky to pre generate chunks to reduce lag spikes at playtime
Fair warning if you pregen too much, storage racks up decently fast
@@jocerv43 It's gonna rack up anyway, so you might as well do it in advance.
@ivanmalinovski7807 really depends on your playerbase, two separate occasions either someone would generate all the chunks to fill in maps or players would just explore in a straight line. Most of the time it's the straight line and that just doesn't waste as much storage. I'd compromise at like 5k-10k prerendered and call it done.
How can I install Chunky?, I tried making a forge server and importing the .jar of the chunky mod, but then the server wasn't able to find the executable when trying to turn it on
@nombrebacan6289 if you only need a vanilla world might be easier to use bukkit/paper jar and use the plugin version of chunky to pregen your world
Nice guide, thanks! Really liked the explanation of even obvious things! I personally would be interested in some video with explanation of all tricky staff related port forwarding and securing your private network when you doing the forwarding.
Great video, love that you touched on hardware, setting up the OS and CasaOS, all the way down to connecting and sharing with friends! Awesome and comprehensive
CasaOS works perfectly, been using it since last year as my NAS, thing is super stable and has lots of features to it that just work as intended. I recommend it over TrueNAS but TrueNAS is more in depth and has more security features. EDIT: So far to my knowledge, CasaOS is a Debian docker image, and does not support software raid, meaning you will have to set a hardware raid on your server in order to have any redundancy, and then you use those logical volumes for CasaOS storage which is perfectly fine and works as intended. You can also set a raid volume on your Debian machine on which you intend on running CasaOS container but it is much less work to just set it as a hardware raid if you have the ability to do so.
Woah, this is gonna make my life so much easier! I've been doing things all through the terminal having to use screen sessions and stuff and it's such a pain. Thank you for showing this off!
Lets go, thank you ive been waiting for a new updated video like this. For about 3 years/ the last time you made one of these. All goes to you

Fantastic video!! One more BIOS change people should look for is anything that halts the startup if keyboard or VGA is missing. For a laptop, might even check BIOS for sleep options and disable sleeping when the laptop is closed.
This is exactly what I was planning on doing!!! Even with an elitedesk hahah, I have been watching a lot of your videos that have been helping me to understand this things of self hosting!! Thank you in advance, I'll be doing this hopefully next month!
WOW this video explains every thing so well i went from someone not knowing any thing about Minecraft servers to learning so much about them keep up the good work
Dude you would not believe what amazing timing you have uploading this video! I'm with starlink and you just can't simply port forward and I tried ngrok but was having issues and even though I could do everything on the server fine just playing with friends was just not happening. Thank you for this!
earlier today i was thinking about starting another mc server for my friends on discord and this just magically pops up in my recommended. this is a life saver so i dont have to port forward. love ya!

This was awesome. I'm trying to figure out how to do this for a long time. But now it's so much easier. I've never been good at port forwarding and tunnels and all that but now it seems like it's going to be so simple. I've got a bunch of kids that want to play Minecraft with my son so this will be perfect
Amazing. I was thinking of setting up a minecraft home server for my son. Great video, THANKS!!
honestly dude this video came out at the PERFECT time, Ive been looking to host a mc server with my community sometimes for gamenights and this is exactly what i need!
Hello, huge fan of your content! Just a quick tip, if people dont want to set static ip to the casaos, and don't want to meddle with the router settings to find the right ip, they can use advanced ip scanner, (portable or not doesnt matter), they can search the ip of the devices and most of the time it will write in the description what that ip is for. Its very easy to use and saves a lot of trouble!
If youre actually making a public server, please set up a VLAN or a VxLAN and get an IP to the server through that and make sure its segmented differently than your home network.
how
I think by port forwarding
I have not seen such great quality tutorial in a long time
I agree without shred of doubts
Super impressed with how simple this whole process is, and how polished Casa and Crafty look! Been playing around with it today and I'm really happy with it, thanks man :)
I use playit with my pterodactyl server. I have loved the service so far, but some thing to consider is that it seems to be solely operated by one person so support for it can be spotty (through forums or discord). There was an issue a while back where their internal databases crashed when the person to fix it was out of town and had no access remotely, so if I'm not mistaken it took a day or two to fix. There's also the issue that as the service grows it might become a target for ddos attacks. Which with one person, it might be harder to anticipate and implement counter measures or mitigations for. I think I'll stick with playit, but if any of the issues mentioned is a big problem for you, ngrok is an alternative. Set up is a little more advanced than playit, but I imagine they are better staffed so support for issues will be quickly addressed.
My friend and I actually did this same thing with an HP ProDesk 600 G3 Mini about 2 weeks ago. We set it up to run Plex and a Minecraft Bedrock Server. The server has 16GB Ram, 1TB NVMe, and we upgraded the CPU to a i7-7700T. The CPU upgrade really helped. I then wrote a really nice Batch\Powershell script to run once a day that shuts down the Minecraft Server. Creates a ZIP backup of any world that is named with the current date and time it was made. It will then delete any backups older than 7 days. Then finally it restarts the Minecraft Server.
Have you looked at FastBack(up)? It's a git-backed incremental backup mod for servers. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it would seem that it could enable more frequent backups for less space.

That's cool lol
@@jaxx8461stfu L comment
I'd love some advice on this since I'm going to be using this exact pc!
Thank you for this video step by step. I saw crafty on your other videos and I installed it for some weeks now. It much easier than manage spigot building server. Thank for the discovery too.
this is actually nice, since I already have a spare computer I commonly nickname "the server", gonna see if some of my friends are up to the idea of having a MC server again.
This came at a good time. I've hosted Minecraft servers before just with the basic way of doing it on Windows which is not hard. And recently, I added an Ubuntu virtual machine to my NAS and went through the process of running a Minecraft server in Ubuntu. Well it was going great but then I tried to VNC into my VM a few days later and the whole thing crashed, deleting the server entirely. And I have no idea what I'm doing in Ubuntu so I don't even know if it's recoverable. So yeah I think I'm going to keep my Ubuntu install but use CasaOS and Crafty, since that seems much easier and more my speed. Even following a tutorial, setting up a server via Ubuntu in the terminal was a nightmare.
DHCP Reserve Leases are always a good option. Same with Static IPs and if you static IP it make sure its outside the DHCP scope of your router.
How can I do this if I reserved my IP already?
@@Acrobia reserve is usually handled in the router.
@@GhostieXV Oh! Do you mean like installing? Isc-dhcp-server?
@@Acrobia no on the DHCP settings of your router you can reserve your IP leases there.
Depending on what kind of router your home network has. They will vary by brand
Thank you so much for making an easier tutorial than your other one with the Compaq PC 🤝
I come from AMP which is often called the easiest game panel but this one is for sure easier and straight forward! Nice video.
So very cool! Didn't even know about crafty controller...manually installed into docker...got it running...trying to install forge for my daughter...boy howdy is there ALOT to that install! Thanks so much for this...I have it running on a HP EliteDesk 705 G2 MINI w/ 8GB RAM and AMD PRO A8-8600B R6 4C+6G (4) @ 1.600GHz processor I got online from EBAY a while back for like $100~, and a 128GB SSD..runs Debian 12 like a boss! Keep em coming!!!!
Quick note. For Debian 12, the initial GUI walked me through installing GRUB. I left the default values and it's working. Also, Debian 12 didn't come with the sudo command so I had to install it to get the command to run from a copy/paste. Overall great video, easy to follow!
How did you do that?
@@Cruzzzador sudo sudo
sudo is a unix command (linux is a unix like/based operating system)
Brilliant tutorial, just what i have been after. Thank you!
You've quickly become one of my favorite KZheadr's! Keep it up. Your content is interesting, well edited and informative!! I'm gonna look into this and see id something easy exists for setting up Valheim game server s in a similar fashion.
On the subject of game servers, I'd love to see you talk about making an at home game server for game devs! I know there's cloud services like AWS or Linode but having your own personal server that you have complete control over seems like the best option. I've been trying to put together one but always end up getting stuck at making the server available to outside networks. Also helps for just small testing so I don't eat up my free trial of AWS too.
Pterodactyl is great and works (theoretically) with any game. As for making it available to the internet, depending on what you want to expose, youll have more or less luck. ive personally spent a few days reverse proxying my entire pterodactyl setup (panel, wings and game servers), for which there exists really no documentation. even now i still have to deal with individual issues from game servers, like source engine games showing my public ip as the server host instead of the proxy ip.
@@doopiewop3834 I'll take a look into that, thanks!
I personally use ngrok for reverse proxy. It's as simple as 'ngrok tcp 25565' for a public java server and for a web page it's http instead of tcp. When sharing web pages you can even lock it with Google auth by requiring the user to use the same google account in the allowed email list
I created minecraft server using termux on my local network

Got the same pc. Stuffed in 32GB of RAM, 500GB Nvme, 500GB ssd and two old spinning rust drives for 2.5TB total storage. Proxmox with windows 10 VM for Valhiem/Dayz/Conan server (not all running at the same time). LMDE6 vm with a Radeon pro wx 3100 using pci passthrough for youtube on my tv and a PiHole LXC. Works pretty good!
Hah you only came to brag about what's hidden under the hood of the old elitedesk. Nice setup tho. For this pricepoint you could cluster together 6-8 default elitedesks, and have a stronger machine.
I've been using crafty since v3.0 and it's a very good a trusty panel for minecraft hosting
Good to hear! I haven’t been using it quite that long but it’s been really solid
It doesn’t have support for reverse proxy?
@@HeieiX It does support reverse proxies. Their documentation even has guides for many of the main reverse proxies. I set mine up with Nginx Proxy Manager and it just worked fine.
Bro will this server cause internet issues i mean can it affect my wifi ?
@@rafing2163 Not unless you have an insane amount of traffic on your server or get DDoSed. If you're not handing out the URL to your server to random people, that shouldn't be a huge issue.
Thank you so much for this guide! I've been searching a long time for a solution for a decent server that I don't need to pay (monthly) for. I also didn't want to bother with the linux coding etc. so this really saved me!! Thanks!
Neat, I've been planning to host my own server all this time with my hardware and finally found this
You should use pterodactyl panel,because is also based on docker and is more complete
Can be tidious to set up for those who don't know how to with linux sadly. It's made more for hosting on scale than small basement servers. But works wonderfully if set up well!
@@domiibunnthere's a unofficial install script that does everything for you but unfortunately you need to own an actual domain to use pterodactyl, other than that it's really easy to set up

I love your channel. It's the cheap computers showcased in a way that I just like
I'm having an issue just after installing Debian 12: After the computer reboots and the Linux terminal should open, it instead an empty black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left shows. In the video there is much more information displayed there (11:10). No matter what I type in nothing ever happens. The only thing I've done differently than the tutorial is just before the end of Debian's installation when it prompted me to install GRUB and even after requesting it not to be installed it, installs anyway. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.
You’ll need to do the install again, but you do need to install GRUB. I thought that was the default option but maybe it’s not
@@HardwareHaven Thanks for the speedy reply, yes that was the fix. Not sure why I thought installing GRUB would mess with the install.
Nice video, will need to try it out some time, as I've always been launching minecraft servers on linux by just playing around with files and console. Also you can assign the static IP address to the server, it will skip the process of searching for your router setting of reserving the IP address, the only required thing would be to take out this IP from the DHCP range, which is not rly mandatory.
I literally just set up that exact same Prodesk with CasaOS on it yesterday! This video is like a tutorial of my afternoon 👍
I have always liked mineos but this seems a lot more user friendly
you look like you about to cry bruh
I was looking for something like this! Thanks... I was trying to do something with Cloudflare but this is much more convenient for Minecraft ^^
Nice video and thanks for the intro. I've been using AMP, but it's nice to know there is an easy to use, free option as well.
crafty is great, my friends asked me last summer to put up a minecraft server so i have a docker container on my vps with crafty installed.
For those who are using Debian 12.5 and up, for the terminal commands, I found that if I used sudo, the command wouldn't be 'found' but if I typed in the command as is without sudo, then it would work just fine.
Mine is saying not found. And when i leave out the sudo and just type in the apt update , it says can't open lock file, unable to lock directory and problem unlinking the file permission denied messages
I've been thinking about doing this for my son. This will help. Thank you!
Thank you ive made my own server with this video it helped alot i did know nothing about setup a mcc server THANK YOUR

Great video. I can't believe I watched this video when I don't need a minecraft Sever, but I ended up watching the whole thing. Great information and facts Givin Def was worth watching
Was just looking for a solution to host Minecraft for my kiddos. Thanks for the rundown. Would love to see more on installing NextCloud and other services on CasaOS.
Just got to say, what an amazing video!! I have a old Xeon E5 from aliexpress that i was not using and decided to create my server on it. For now on, I'll try to use it for every game that I play!
This is extremely informative, thanks for putting it together! Ive been wanting to explore Linux as sort of a side project and doing it through minecraft is excellent. We've been paying hosting for minecraft servers for years and I'd like to not anymore. I'm a totally newbie to all this so the concise and detailed explanation is extremely appreciated.

I once had a dedicated server at a hosting provider and as soon as my ftth is setup I'm probably do it your way, because this looks wayyy easier than what I had to do back then - tho you really have to consider if you want to do that, as you can get dedicated servers for about 10$ more a month, compared to the actual electricity price in your country - if you don't run in 24/7 or somehow do a eco-mode with wake-up calls and a maximum idle time to get back into eco etc. - it is defenitely worth I guess (probably gonna try with Pterodactyl, anyways)
Fyi. Your old TrueNAS videos really helped me stand up a new NAS. Thank you for your work.
Oh awesome! Hope it works well for you! Thanks for all your positive comments, Johnny!
So far so good. I’m considering switching to the Linux based TrueNAS as I’m not as familiar with FreeBSD
Pretty in depth yet kinda requires some knowledge for safety reasons and error troubleshooting, I use LXC on my proxmox server which comes with prebuilt turnkey utilities yet I use vanilla base debian 10, 11 or even 12 for my servers and it naturally skips the installation process of debian and network configuring in terminal (etxc/network/interfaces). Like your tutorial and Crafty Controller is THE BEST Minecraft server panel and hosting method. 10/10
Great video, I've been hosting MC server for my kids the standard way using CLI. Definitely going to use this. Have you tested ZimaOS yet? Also, I never had permission issues using the normal appdata folder, weird.
Bro that's literally what I'm trying right now, even on the same PC!
I did pterodactyl, and I'm somewhat proud and more satisfied than using a NAS-style OS. I like linuxing and it's very scalable. I used a script too, set up a DDNS and SSL over that domain
I want to use one of the new Mac minis, not only do the arm processor provide great power, but also great energy efficiency which I think is important if looking into running a server 24/7 (also note, that the new arm macs have been getting more and more native Linux support)
OMG this video has helped so much thank you so much 👍
Very awesome and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you!! I like that you ran into this bug even though it's fixed now for one major reason: If you partition /home separate from /, then the workaround you have for the bug is also an easy way to move the server data onto the correct partition. The bug is fixed now btw, but please keep this around even if you do update the video as it's really useful info.
These off lease enterprise computers on eBay are awesome. They're dirt cheap, and 6th Gen i5 computers are still perfectly adequate for most people's needs. You could throw a GPU in some of the options that are out there, but you still have to measure your expectations with a dash or reality. These aren't gaming PCs, but I do use them for various server implementations often.
Thanks you for this video. I have watched a ton of videos on getting a MC Server and they all revolve around Java only. I know you didn't go over Bedrock, but I would assume the setup is similar after the Crafty install. You mentioned not to do one on a Pi, but that's what I have and it'll only ever be 2-3 players max at any one time. I have one up and running on it now, but it was painful to get going using Docker and Portainer. I might just scrub that and setup one on Casa like you did. From what I see there wouldn't be much different than what you did using a Pi4B 4GB. Do you know of any differences if I was using a Pi? Thanks
i ahve mine running on one of those small elite desks with 16gigs of ram, it runs so smooth, it's unreal
I lucked out and found a 5825u mini pc for $200. Plenty fast to run minecraft. Thank you for this tutorial. I had no idea so many of these solutions existed! Makes deploying the thing a whole lot easier.
14:04 You don't need to plug a keyboard and monitor back in so long as you just take a note of the MAC address of the network interface. You can then find it via rhe router. Allocating a specific IP for it is better though
I'd also say that because it uses docker, docker doesn't care about UFW rules and will ignore them fully and if the user has UPnP all of those ports will be added as a rule as standard.
First of all, Big fan of your videos ❤ This was awesome tutorial how to get CasaOS going on my Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF, before I ran just typical Windows 10 on it to run my Minecraft server with Playit. This tutoral made my life lot easyer, because I ran seperately Pi-Hole on Rasberry pi, now it`s 2in1 on CasaOS. Works all really well, zero fails and easy to manage thru Chrome. Thanks a lot ✨
You don’t need that much storage if you do regular world cleanings, whether it be full world resets or frequent trimming of chunks… but as someone who has played on a server that has existed for some years that hasn’t done any world resets since it first was created and only trims off chunks every long while, that server needs at least a 512GB drive and likely 1TB at some point. Not for a while but likely at some point. Lower options are good early on though, just saying it might be worth while to get a good higher storage option when on sale for stuff like Black Friday if you decide to be more of a “build a history of a world over time” kind of server host.
for those who want to setup the schedule tasks more granularly you can use the cron option which you can set up to run at a specific hour minute day of week day of month month in year
Just recently made a MC server using an old workstation (mini PC) I found in the basement. I wish this tutorial came out in time, would of been more efficient.
omg this was such a helpful video thank you :)
Great tutorial for hosting a minecraft server. Would have love to see how I might update the servers though. Do I just shut it down and change the installed version to the most recent one or do I have to do extra steps?
I just pinned a comment that should help. Go check that out!
Thank you for a great video! I recently set up CasaOS on my Lenovo M93 Tiny running Ubuntu server 22.04. I've been looking for a good Minecraft server control panel.

0:00 Well, it is quite hard when your ISP can't tell the differnce between static WAN IP and static LAN IP. I bought the static WAN IP package from my ISP, and he basically fixed the IPs of all of the local devices. Kept the Dynamic WAN and CGNAT as is.
I used to run a server off of a turnkey solution called MineOS. Basically Debian with a php web server installed to install/configure Minecraft installations. Good times.
I'd be interested in a video about the playitgg docker container & how to plug that into crafty-4 to get java & bedrock servers working
You don't actually need to change the boot order in the BIOS. Just hitting (in your case) F10 to get the boot menu, you select the USB and directly boot it. Changing the order is only really necessary when you have multiple drives with different OSes installed that you switch occasionally.
You need to turn off a safe boot anyway, so why reboot, then click on f10 again, when you can do it in bios anyway.
Cool video thank you, are you also able to change the person cap
