# lazymc
|
|
|
|
`lazymc` puts your Minecraft server to rest when idle, and wakes it up when
|
|
players connect.
|
|
|
|
Some Minecraft servers (especially modded) use an insane amount of resources
|
|
when nobody is playing. lazymc helps by stopping your server when idle, until a
|
|
player connects again.
|
|
|
|
lazymc functions as proxy between clients and the server. It handles all
|
|
incoming status connections until the server is started and then transparently
|
|
relays/proxies the rest. All without them noticing.

## Features
|
|
|
|
- Very efficient, lightweight & low-profile (~3KB RAM)
|
|
- Supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.6+, supports modded (e.g. Forge, FTB)
|
|
- Transparent join: hold clients when server starts, relay when ready, without them noticing
|
|
- Customizable MOTD and login messages
|
|
- Automatically manages `server.properties` (host, port and RCON settings)
|
|
- Graceful server sleep/shutdown through RCON (with `SIGTERM` fallback on Linux/Unix)
|
|
- Restart server on crash
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Linux, macOS or Windows
|
|
- Minecraft Java Edition 1.6+
|
|
- On Windows: RCON (automatically managed)
|
|
|
|
_Note: You must have access to the system to run the `lazymc` binary. If you're
|
|
using a Minecraft shared hosting provider with a custom dashboard, you likely
|
|
won't be able to set this up._
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
_Note: these instructions are for Linux & macOS, for Windows look
|
|
[here](./docs/usage-windows.md)._
|
|
|
|
Make sure you meet all [requirements](#requirements).
|
|
|
|
Download the appropriate binary for your system from the [latest
|
|
release][latest-release] page.
|
|
|
|
Place the binary in your Minecraft server directory, rename it if you like.
|
|
Open a terminal, go to the directory, and make sure you can invoke it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod a+x ./lazymc
|
|
./lazymc --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When `lazymc` is set-up, change into your server directory if you haven't
|
|
already. Then set up the [configuration](./res/lazymc.toml) and start it up:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Change into your server directory (if you haven't already)
|
|
cd server
|
|
|
|
# Generate lazymc configuration
|
|
lazymc config generate
|
|
|
|
# Edit configuration
|
|
# Set the correct server address, directory and start command
|
|
nano lazymc.toml
|
|
|
|
# Start lazymc
|
|
lazymc start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Everything should now be running. Connect with your Minecraft client to wake
|
|
your server up!
|
|
|
|
_Note: If a binary for your system isn't provided, please [compile from
|
|
source](#compile-from-source)._
|
|
|
|
_Note: Installation options are limited at this moment. More will be added
|
|
later._

|
## Compile from source
|
|
|
|
Make sure you meet all [requirements](#requirements).
|
|
|
|
To compile from source you need Rust, install it through `rustup`: https://rustup.rs/
|
|
|
|
When Rust is installed, compile and install `lazymc` from this git repository
|
|
directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Compile and install lazymc from source
|
|
cargo install -f --git https://github.com/timvisee/lazymc
|
|
|
|
# Ensure lazymc works
|
|
lazymc --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or clone the repository and build it yourself:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone repository
|
|
git clone https://github.com/timvisee/lazymc
|
|
cd lazymc
|
|
|
|
# Compile
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
|
|
# Run lazymc
|
|
./target/release/lazymc --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
