This week’s episode of Destination Linux is all about the past meeting the present. We have the famous Jill’s Treasure Hunt, where Jill will take us through her museum of computers to share one of her favorite tech toys. We’re also going to discuss the past and present with a Unix based OS that’s making a comeback. Then we cover some news on Wayland that’s going to be making a lot of content creators very happy. Plus we’ve also got our famous tips, tricks and software picks. All of this and so much more this week on Destination Linux. So whether you’re brand new to Linux and open source or a guru of sudo. This is the podcast for you.
This week we’re continuing our coverage of ‘easy’ projects you can do at home with your $35 Raspberry Pi.
In prior weeks we talked about how to setup digital signage, a home VPN and Docker.
This little device has thousands of potential use cases but this week let’s turn it into a fun project for the family as a Minecraft Server.
All you need for this project is to:
Go to www.minecraft.net/download/server
Download the .jar file
Go into yourfolder where the .jar file is and right click on the file and select copy path
Next open up a terminal window and type “sudo su” then type navigate to the server folder” .
Then type “java -jar minecraft_server.1.11.2.jar” this will run the server.
When it is running an error will pop up saying that you must agree to the eula.
So in your server folder there should be a file that was created called “eula.txt” double click on it and change “eula=false” to “eula=TRUE” and save it.
That’s it, you now have a Minecraft server the whole family can join running on a $35 computer.
