Game Servers

[Clixxi]

Hi,

today i bought the LT license and asked myself if there may be extended features for hosting gameservers like Minecraft, Left4Dead, Ragnarok Online and many more older games.

I`d like to bask in nostalgia and try my best to "relive" better times 😆

So my question is: Is or will there be any kind of support/features explicit to hosting game servers.

 

Best regards

I'm sure they'll add easy to use templates for hosting game servers in the near future, but you can already do this by creating a new virtual machine and running your game servers in it.

This and/or integration for AMP by Cube Coders. I have been using this on Windows but having that integrated would be totally sweet.

Yeah AMP would be nice.

I think I spotted a minecraft server app in a picture of the pre-release. Other games may need to switch to the tru-nas dashboard to configure?

Currently the only 2 supported apps are plex and immich every other apps needs to be setup and installed from truenas currently 

[Sparkrdom]

The app list has Plex and Immach as HexOS one-click installs, and a bunch of options based on TrueNas and says they'll need manual configuration. Minecraft and Palworld were included

Ah hopefully qBittorrent won’t be too far behind, got Linux ISOs to seed!

I am also very interested in game server support. I suspect many games would need to be ran in a VM, but that's beside the point

titles of interest for me would include HALO Combat Evolved, BF3, ARMA II and ARMA III, DayZ standalone, TF2, classics like Quake and Unreal Tournament, Subnautica (Nitrox multiplayer mod), Starwars Battlefront II...

In the interim @Clixxi I use proxmox with ubuntu LXC containers, then use LinuxGSM to easily deploy and administer various game servers. I'm excited to get my hands onto HexOS and give it a shot though =D. Native LXC container support (as opposed to docker) would be amazing.

without the AMP issues though.

Hosting a Minecraft server on this would probably be the biggest quality of life feature when it comes to playing that game with friends, I really hope it ends up being possible!

I think documenting the implementation of hosting a Minecraft server would hold more value to this community.

HexOS, implement replication through some IaaS or similar process. Please promote open source initiatives like this that could become central to other concepts of this technology.

I would suggest they contact https://linuxgsm.com/ to implement a one-click solution for hosting game servers, as it offers a way to host games through Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/gameservermanagers/linuxgsm.

what about implementing for example Pterodactyl as its easy to use?

 

[Sam Smith]

Hopefully somthing like minecraft or any other type of game would be grate, as reading all your comments about amp and this is and that is just confusing.

[ShowingOff]

This seems like why you would want to integrate Tailscale. Imagine sending a link to your buddies and them just being added to an encrypted network.

I support this idea
