    [Support] binhex - MinecraftServer

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    Hey, I've gotten this working under a reverse proxy to play with friends. Is there a way to install minecraft plugins in this docker container though?

     

    The reason I ask is that I have a bunch of friends that play on Bedrock and can't access Java. GeyserMC would solve this but there is seemingly no way to install it on this docker container as there is no plugins folder. 

     

    Any answer would be very much appreciated, thanks!

    yes, that will log all activity on the minecraft console, not really sure what else you want logged?

    Oh, I just want it to log what the ingame console displays when a command is used or when something happens (e.g. someone dying or the output of a command block).

    Hey, I've been using this container to play minecraft with friends and it's been great so far.

     

    But, is there any way to get the server to log more things like command output? At the moment, it seems it only logs who connects and disconnects and their xuid number. My friend is preparing a thing where that would be very useful. 

     

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks.

    Is the i5 8400 overkill for my Media Server needs?

    I know hardware acceleration in Plex requires a supported video card, how does it work with Jellyfin? Is it purely CPU based?

    Jellyfin supports Quick Sync since it is based off Emby 3.5.2

    The i5 8400 has an iGPU that supports QuickSync Video.  Both Plex and Emby (and I assume Jellyfin since it is a fork of Emby) support iGPU for hardware acceleration.  If Jellyfin suport QSV-enabled iGPU then the CPU does not have to be terribly powerful unless you will also be running a lot of dockers, VMs, etc.  I know many Plex/Emby users are getting good hardware transcoding for 2-4 streams with Pentium/i3 processors.  This is mostly for remote/mobile clients.  Your media, if encoded properly, should direct stream locally without transcoding with a decent client.

    I see. I might get off lucky with direct playing through my 4K Samsung TV via DLNA and it'll leave a lot of headroom for what you've just mentioned. 

     

    Thanks!

    Are you going to be just streaming the media internally inside your house, or do you have plans to run something like Plex? If its just for internal use, it will be fine, however if you plan on running Plex check out the requirements below. You need to keep some CPU for unRAID as well.

    The passmark score for your CPU is 11650
    Here are the requirements for a single stream for Plex

     

    Very roughly speaking, for a single full-transcode of a video, the following PassMark score requirements are a good guideline for the following average source file:

    4K HDR (50Mbps, 10-bit HEVC) file: 17000 PassMark score (being transcoded to 10Mbps 1080p)

    4K SDR (40Mbps, 8-bit HEVC) file: 12000 PassMark score (being transcoded to 10Mbps 1080p)

    1080p (10Mbps, H.264) file: 2000 PassMark score

    720p (4Mbps, H.264) file: 1500 PassMark score

    I plan to use Jellyfin for my media server software of choice. It will be internally mostly (depends if I decide to go out or I decide to give access to someone else outside the house). The CPU is just barely below the 4K SDR requirement (I might get away with it without Hardware Acceleration for one stream). But looks like I'll mostly have to use Hardware Acceleration. 

     

    Thanks!

    I am planning to build my own media server with unRAID as the primary OS. I have ordered an i5 8400 and I have only just thought of the question "is it overkill for my needs?" 

     

    My library consists of mostly 1080p HVEC Movies (with some 4K HVEC & 1080p H.264 & 480p movies sprinkled in). And mostly 1080p HVEC TV Shows (with some 4K HVEC and 480p HVEC sprinkled in there). 

     

    It's mostly just going to be my family using my server (haven't organized any connections with my friends yet). It's maybe a bit late now (and I can simply use the excuse that it leaves headroom for other stuff). But I want to know so I can make the best CPU and overall build options next time.

    I have not used unRAID yet because I am going to build my first custom NAS server soon. I plan to use unRAID as my OS of choice because it is easy to setup and has Docker intergrated (which is being removed from FreeNAS soon). 

     

    I am moving from my Synology DS218+ due to it being quite limited and being (argubly) overpriced for the hardware that it has. I also want to experience what building a PC is like (since it's the first time I have ever done something like this). 

     

    I have read through this thread and have seen so many people have fantastic experiences with unRAID and I hope that I will have a fantastic experience too.
