@craig.theriac Ok, hats off. That is cute. And some great marketing!

It is not uncommon to only have servers approved to access the storage listed. So many shops will go in and add a server one by one to enable access. If your servers almost never change, this works pretty well and is extremely secure. You can do this in the firewall too, for even more security. But if you are using DevOps and creating and destroying VMs regularly you will want to automate this in some fashion.

Original post has been updated to reflect the latest 0.9 release of the Minecraft Server.

it constantly disconnects me. the server appears to be online please help me.

I've not touched this in three and a half years, I'm afraid. This stuff easily doesn't work any longer 😞

And adding Topbeat too, to send performance information to the ELK system as well.

Apparently, when have they NOT? Where does this "first release" myth come from? Other than the unique case of Vista, which was a true first release of NT 6. This is NOT a first release, this is the latest version of NT 6. If you have concern about lower releases, then that would make you install this as this is the latest update to NT 6.

On the desktop side, I typically have always felt the first releases (like the now defunct Windows 😎 to be shaky. I do not think that is a myth.

There was not a single functionality issue with Windows 8.
Honestly, there was not a single problem with Vista either as long as your hardware worked with it. Vista had a driver compatibility problem.

Well this is not entirely true. Vista also included a brand new network stack that they wrote that had TONS of holes in it. They dumped that stack with 8.1 though.

That slowed education for IT for NY for a long time as students in the SUNY system were not getting UNIX exposure.

Can we petition NTG to run a modded Minecraft server on their Scale Cluster? For "testing" purposes?

Where have you been this week?

http://mangolassi.it/topic/7610/installing-minecraft-server-on-centos-7-with-oracle-java-8

@art_of_shred has been playing on it every day, in fact.

I'll have to see if it works on the Win7 client when I get home tonight.

Works with the standard client, wherever it runs.. the Java client. We have been testing it from Windows 10 but the standard client is the same everywhere - the miracle of Java 🙂

Is it open to the public, or do we need an invite?

Semi-private. IM'd you the info.

Just updated the cluster to 7.1

@scottalanmiller Only a small one, huh? You better be careful. You might wind up with a sever case of post-mortem depression... You'll be dead and sad about it.

What would be the point of content if no one can figure out how to read the site 😉

As mentioned earlier, I would be interested, but would like to know more about the lab now that you have all in place, on what do we get to play with

First you would create users and SSH keys and then deploy them to the other boxes that you wish to connect to. This is the core of what makes the Jump Box a Jump Box. This is standard SSH key setup, nothing unique to a Jump Box.

Did you ever make a good write up on creating users and SSH keys? If so, I cannot find it.

I mean, I know how to make and use keys in general. But detail here would be good.

Write up for creating the users on the jump box and getting their SSH keys. Write up for pushing users and keys to other systems that said jump box will be allowing access. Write up for control of said access. Bob and Jill have access to Jump Box. Bob has Access to servers 1 & 2. Jill has access to server 2 & 3.

I know that @scottalanmiller has mentioned in another thread that he has a script to push this all out (question 2). I can only assume that the script has some controls to tell you which server so shove the key and user logon to (question 3).

I thought that screen looked familiar, lol.
