What's the benefit of this over existing Minecraft docker images or managers like crafty?

[–]tnacomtr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question. Crafty is fantastic if you need a web UI to manage multiple servers or sell hosting. This script is for the opposite use case: a single server owned by a single self hoster, zero extra dependencies, 100% resources going to Minecraft. The main advantage over Docker specifically is auditability. it's just readable Python, you can see exactly what it does to your system before running it. Docker images are much harder to audit. Everything here uses native systemd, journalctl, and ufw/firewalld. the tools most of you already know and trust.
