i am hosting servers for everyone on this Forum (one per Forum-User) with some rules listed below
if you want a server please write a post or a PM in this forum with at least the following informations:
- Name of the server
- Name of the admin (I will send the temporary password via PM)
- Server description
- List of ready-to-use mods (via a list of git source links or contentdb links...) if you like to have any OR
- one ready-to-use ZIP archive with all¹ Mods inside
- Subgame (e.g. minetest_game, voxelibre or mineclonia)
- MapGen (v5, v6, v7, etc.)
- Seed
- Spawnpoint
alternativ you can keep the "Subgame, Mapgen, Seed and Spawnpoint" points away and send me a pre-generated world
please only via share portals, where you can download directly without limitations... e.g. MEGA.nz
not more than 1GB... completely sufficient for "new worlds"
if someone has already built a nice spawn area that needs more, we can maybe find a way
Please note that this is about Luanti servers
Not about root server!
So you don't have SSH access or anything like that
Instead, I create a Luanti instance where you are the admin.
RULES:
- You need to check the threads especially in this first post for future changes
- I am a private person, I cannot guarantee anything, especially not:
- That the server will be up and running the next day, I always assume it will be a week since I only have a lot of time on the weekend and sometimes go on vacation.
- That, for the same reason, I can always be active in the forum
- That I will not discontinue this service at some point, although I will try to announce this in good time
- That my system is permanently available
- That my system always runs stable
- That there will never be any data loss or compromise
- I am a German citizen and the server runs in Germany, so there are legal frameworks. If you violate these, you will be removed WITHOUT WARNING.
- I will have a “Walker” account on each server that will be used exclusively by me and has at least the privs "privs" and "server". If you delete it, change its password, or remove rights/privs without consultation, your server will also be deleted WITHOUT WARNING
- They will also be expelled, albeit with advance warning, if they violate the following things:
- Forum Guidelines
- Friendly interaction with fellow players
- Unnecessary utilization of the server by e.g. lag machines
- All servers are restarted every day at 2 a.m. Central European (Summer) Time / 0 or 1 a.m. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) ...
I'm neither an admin nor a moderator, but solely a host... my "Walker" account is used to monitor the server in-game
I will not play in-game or take part in other in-game activities with this account...
If I want to play on this server myself, I will do so, like any other player, with a completely normal account without any special rights.
This service is not intended to last forever.
If the admin account is not online for more than a month, I will reserve the right to delete the server without notice.
I will also inform you if your server becomes too large
².
In this case, you can rent an external server and migrate your Luanti server to it.
However, if you don't respond, I will freeze your server until we can reach each other.
Current Luanti version: 5.10.0
No other programs are supported, for example:
- no customized versions of Luanti; Luanti itself is unmodified
- no mapserver
- no mapcleaner
- no discord relay
- ...
The reason is simply that I cannot estimate what risks the programs entail and some programs also require extensive setup/configuration.
This server hosting is intended for simple servers to try out, so I'll draw a line at this point
also secure.enable_security is ALWAYS enabled in the config and NO mods are allowed that have to be allowed via secure.trusted_mods or secure.http_mods
Servers that crashed or were shut down will be restarted after 15 minutes (900 seconds).
Why only after 15 minutes? To prevent crash-loops that would utilize the CPU endlessly.
Please dont Ask for to RAM or CPU heavy mods like:
- Technic
- Mesecons
- AdvTrains
- pipeworks
- etc.
you can ask, but be aware that you could quickly end up on the hit list
¹) If you create a new ZIP, make sure that all mods are inside again, not just the modified ones, as I will delete all existing mods in order to unzip the ZIP from scratch
²) too large servers are defined by:
- total storage usage over 10GB
- often RAM usage over 4GB
- often CPU usage of 100% of one or more cores
- massive network utilization
servers with a RAM usage over 4GB are automatically terminated with SIGTERM via a script
By default, all servers have a map size of 4096 blocks (mapgen_limit = 2048; 2048 in all 6 directions).
Of course, this can be changed on request.
However, you should keep in mind that the memory limit of 10GB is reached faster with larger maps.
