Hey everyone!

I've got a classic Dell PowerEdge R300 taking up space in the lab. Before I turn it into a high-tech space heater for the upcoming winter, I want to give it one last glorious job.

What’s the most ridiculous, fun, or unexpectedly useful thing I should host on this piece of history?

Hit me with your best (or worst) ideas!

This project I'm working on can help you set up a brand new or existing VPS and have it ready for Minecraft hosting.

It can auto configure:

• UFW ports
• Caddyfile
• systemd services
• mod configs
• Key only SSH (optional by providing a public key)

all if you install Geyser, Simple Voice Chat, BlueMap..etc with the tool.

Upgrading a server

• Detects installed mods and updates them with your server (modrinth)

Works by simply pointing to a folder with Minecraft servers and then selecting an existing server.

Tool currently handles all MC versions from 1.20.1 to 26.2 (I could go lower) and has support for fabric, neoforge, forge, quilt and vanilla servers. Im hoping this project helps people get into more DIY server hosting or maybe save some money instead of giving it to dedicated MC hosts. The tool comes with hopefully clear instructions and guided selection screens. Still unsure? just click ok through the safe defaults.

If you are savvy enough, the tool can run headlessly, fully with arguments / flags. So you can automate server creation or updating with it.

(working on adding features for removing servers and also installing mods into existing servers)

Been building a self-hosted panel called Badger Panel for running game servers (Minecraft, Rust, GMod so far, more games planned). The panel itself runs on Docker, and the game servers it manages can be hosted as separate instances on Windows, Docker, or Kubernetes depending on your setup. It's also Pterodactyl egg compatible so if you're coming from that, it's not a rebuild.

Alongside the server side it also handles the operational stuff, billing, CRM, support tickets, white label, since I got tired of stitching those together separately.

It's in its final stages of testing. Most of it holds up well, some bits are still rough, and I'd rather know that from actual server admins than find out later.

If you run or admin game servers and fancy trying to break it and telling me what's wrong, drop a comment or message and I'll get you set up.

Im running a dedicated server for me and 3 other friends but we're experiencing some weird lag, info as follows:

\- server pc is a lenovo legion laptop, 32gb ddr5, 12700H CPU.

\- Wired connection to the modem and decent internet connection overall.

\- server is a steam CMD one

\- we have around 15 mods installed, nothing major just small QOL stuff, nothing to change the map or zombies.

\- have tried toggling uPNP in the server setting with no changes.

\- everyone's ping is fine and connection to the server doesn't drop.

\- the lag only effects fast vehicles and players movement, characters seem to slide around and rubber band, no issue with interacting with items or fighting zombies.

Really not sure what else I can trouble shoot, I've played around with a few server settings but nothing seems to help.
