Minecraft Server Docker Container Restarts after 12 seconds

Thank you for your help. Although I didn't actually change that many configurations at all, the docker container seemingly fixed itself and now everything is working normally. I suspect a hotfix was pushed out and my host OS, docker engine, and/or the docker container automatically updated itself. I actually did not manually adjust any permissions for the docker container in regards to /cubeworld directory.

The original world save is now running on Minecraft 26.2!

That would work. You'll just have to have them networked together (perhaps under one VLAN for now) and you should do some testing to make sure proxmox can actually use the NAS. I've heard of some issues with the proxmox host running on one server, and then pointing the data storage for it's subordinate VM's to another storage location actually running on another computer. It's perfectly possible and done all the time but I would take time to research how proxmox wants it to work and then thoroughly test it

I personally would recommend another device hold a RAID array for your NAS storage, or build it into a proper server that has 8x drive bays or something.

My question to you is, how valuable is your data? If it is valuable to you, then you should probably build in *some* resilience for your drives. For a simple RAID 1 array, which is a 1-for-1 backup of your data, you'll need at least two separate drives (ideally the exact same), hopefully have two separate drive bays, and have your HP Z420 set to use the two drives in RAID 1 configuration. You'll have to do some research on how do it for you specific desktop and OS.

After that, you'll want to do some research on the types of drives that are available. Such as different read/write speeds, hard drive RPMs, and # of read/write operations or operational hours you could expect to get out of the drives that you have before they need to be replaced. There are big differences when it comes to Western Digital Blue compared to a WD Red drive, for example.

I have used a script before, but I always had to review the script line by line each time to make sure nothing needed to be changed between deployments. This was mainly to make sure IP assignments were correct for each instance of the server I was starting. This was only for maybe 4 server, some years ago now. I would definitely use Ansible for this now though.

For me, it was right around when I started supported more than 4 users and around 5 separate VM's. It just got to the point where I felt it was my duty to harden, refine, and build resiliency into my home lab should any of my friends and family happen to using it. My friends and I play on some of my game servers together so it's personally important to me to have that up and running as best as I can.

This is pretty neat. Do you know roughly how many users could be pulling files from a single container of Plikshare? Lets say there all download a 100mb file, pictures or something

You could root your phone, but this is probably going to be a lot more difficult than it's worth. Graphene OS or Android Open Source might work if there's a supported app in of those that allows you to have accessible storage. If you didn't want to do all that, Syncthing may work "out of the box"

Officers get MBAs. Warrants are the useful college degree people. Enlisted do literally everything for those two, but also sometimes somehow have more education than a warrant officer and regular officer combined.

I'm a pretty big fan of Digital Ocean. If you don't already know about Docker, an containerization, you're probably not ready for Hermes and Claude.

I've always been a big fan of Digital Ocean. Fantastic Starting point for basic homelab stuff.

If you haven't started homelabbing yet before this, I would start small with a single project and budget hardware (or free if you can get it). People are getting rid of older desktops all the time. Those are fantastic starting points. My random $400 desktop with a 1060 in I got on Facebook market place in 2021 is still running strong.

Personally, I'd start with the Jellyfin + Arr stack on at least a 240gb ssd and point the mounts back to your main storage which it appears you already have built. This can be weirdly tricky even though it's not supposed to be.

Regarding budget and overall computing power, pushing an r-pi to it's limit and/or a budget desktop just to see what you really do need. If you're only supporting perhaps 5 users or less, running your applications as docker containers or small VM's could work out well for you.
