The second part to my previous video on setting up a Minetest server on Arch Linux. This video is more about configuration and loading mods, as the previous video covered initial setup. Also discussed are the advantages and disadvantageous of using the Minetest GUI server/host feature.
A followup to my previous video on Minetest, we install a server on a base Arch Linux install in this video. Admittedly this is a lot more command line oriented, and will not be for everyone.
If the goal is just a server, then the Minetest client will work on pretty much any platform. If you are looking to go extremely light weight, then this type of install might be for you.
In this final installment of the series, we will look at the Media Servers PLEX and KODI. Both have a common origin and pedigree. And while both give you similar displays, under the hood they work in significantly different fashions. These differences should be the primary reason for choosing one over the other. This video talks about the more significant differences.
This post is number 16 in this series, and it points towards the third video I have done on this subject.
We will be installing cockpit on our server, to give us a nice remote GUI for management. Additionally we will be adding some cockpit application for for things like RAID and SMB support.
So please watch the entire video, and enjoy.
For this segment, we will install an Operating System (Debian 12, Bookworm) on our server built from spare parts.
We will step away from the virtual machines, and see how things go with real, if somewhat dated hardware. Additionally we will walk though some hardware identification, and the installation of additional helper programs. One of the first being openssh, so we can operate our server headless.
