Minecraft Pi Server/description

I recently installed Minecraft pi edtition on my raspberry pi and wanted to start a minecraft pi server but found little documentation and had to figure it out on my own. So i created this simple one click installer for pi-apps.

I've fixed all the previous problems with my scripts

theofficialgman · 2023-09-01T19:27:48Z

pi-apps prefers global installation of applications when possible. please refer to many other scripts that install globally

#download server
wget -O server.AppImage https://github.com/NoozAbooz/mcpi-reborn-extended/releases/download/${version}/minecraft-pi-reborn-server-2.4.8-arm64.AppImage || error "failed to download server"

correct URL to use version variable in appimage

theofficialgman · 2023-09-01T19:29:22Z

also please stop closing and opening new issues. that is unnecessary

if you want the github actions automated preview of the zipfile to change (instead of getting a new comment made), you can edit the body of the initial post to use your new zip

alright i fixed the url it should be good to go now

theofficialgman · 2023-09-02T14:18:31Z

again, there are still multiple issues. the use of apt directly inside of scripts is banned for almost all cases (refer again to our official script writing wiki linked to you before). also we prefer that global installations be done when possible (which is the case here) so you need to change to doing that.

what do you mean by that?

theofficialgman · 2023-09-02T15:18:57Z

local to the current user: ~, $HOME, /home/$USER. Don't use these
global: anywhere outside of the users home directory.

just pick any random pi-apps script type install to look at. the majority are global install based (eg: pixelorama https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Pixelorama/install )

Botspot · 2023-09-02T21:51:02Z

It's still saving everything in the user's home directory.
The reason why this matters is for Pi systems that have multiple users. We try to make the app install in a way that all users can run the program.
Your script makes it only possible for the current user to see the program, because other users cannot access files in the current user's home folder.

And that is the problem: All app files are being saved to the current user's home folder, rather than to a global location.
~/.local/share/applications is a local location, which can only be accessed by the currently logged in user.
~/.local/bin/mcpi_server is a local location, which can only be accessed by the currently logged in user.
If my Pi has two user accounts and I login as user etaprime and install Minecraft Pi Server, I should be able to login as leepsp and still be able to run Minecraft Pi Server.

You should find the global equivalents to these locations, like /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/bin. It will require sudo to add files to these locations, but there are many good examples of pi-apps scripts doing it this way. Take another look at the Pixelorama app please. https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Pixelorama/install

oh that makes sense i updated it to work that way thats a good idea to make it global for all users

looks like you have multiple stray logfiles in your zip

Minecraft Pi Server/wget-log.1 looks like you have a stray logfile in your zip

oops sorry i fixed that

theofficialgman · 2023-09-02T22:29:24Z

this is local ~/.local/share/applications

Icon=$HOME/pi-apps/apps/Minecraft Pi Server/icon-64.png this won't work for users that have pi-apps located elsewhere. refer to this again -> https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Pixelorama/install

#update os
sudo apt-get update

again, pi-apps does not allow apps to use apt directly except under specific circumstances.

also your uninstall script needs correcting

also you need to enable the fuse module since this is an appimage. You can look at Musescore to see how to do this https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/MuseScore/install

theofficialgman · 2023-09-02T22:33:50Z

also @Botspot what are your thoughts on the actions bot here. Do you like that it edits the initial comment zip preview when the user edits their initial post or would it be clearer if it always made a new post (which would show up at the bottom)?

If you have other ideas I am all ears.

what is the fuse module for?

theofficialgman · 2023-09-02T23:02:44Z

also you need to enable the fuse module since this is an appimage

-> also you need to enable the fuse module since this is an appimage

using google "fuse appimage" -> "AppImages require FUSE version 2 to run. Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a system that lets non-root users mount filesystems."

@theofficialgman,
I think this issue in particular has shown how effective the bot can be for cases when a PR would be a bit much. I would recommend that in the future we advise the app-submitter to not edit their original post with a new zip, but instead post a new zip, for the bot to then reply with the zip preview. To prevent the page from getting too lengthy, I would recommend wrapping the preview in <details> tags, as seen on the README.

@Botspot there is no reason we need to tell users which method to do.
Before this commit f6defd4 the bot would make a new post every time even if the edited the original post. I can revert to that while also implementing the hidden text

refer again to #2437 (comment) , you can't write to or create a root owned directory as a regular user.

theofficialgman · 2023-09-02T23:44:22Z

also I'd personally prefer if the enable fuse module was placed directly after the version variable. that way if it fails then you aren't left with an unuseable application unless the user does an uninstall.

also you need a purge_packages in your uninstall if you have an enable_module

@kidmakesreal you don't need to edit both the original post and make a new one with the zip. as per botspot's revised recommendations just make the new post.

" > /usr/share/applications/mcpi_server.desktop

still not fixed... refer again -> #2437 (comment)
also you have not updated install-64 to match install-32

I suggest you take a bit longer to digest and understand what we have been telling you to do rather than trying to solve the problem as quickly as possible and messing up. Think through what the commands are actually doing. There is no rush here, it won't be added today (or even this weekend likely) anyway.

ok sorry ill try harder

ok sorry ill try harder

Don't worry about it. Nobody expects someone to become and expert on day one. Just make sure to give yourself time to digest and think about it.

We just have guidelines (some explicitly written down in our documentation and some implied) at pi-apps that we want all new scripts to follow.

kidmakesreal · 2023-09-03T14:07:34Z

i cant get the global installation to work is it cool if i just make it install locally?

kidmakesreal · 2023-09-03T14:18:32Z

i think it would be better if the server folder was located in the home directory anyway due to then fact that to configure the server you have to change the server.properties file in the server folder and it would overcomplicate things for the user to have to be root to access it

theofficialgman · 2023-09-03T14:28:13Z

is there are reason why you chose to use the appimages from the release instead of the armhf/arm64 debs available?

all release types create their configuration files in the home directory as normal so that is a non-issue

i've fixed all the previous errors in my scripts it should be all good now

sudo echo "[Desktop Entry]

no .desktop file is created. this simply echos to the terminal. Writing to a .desktop file in a root owned location can be performed with a combination echo and | sudo tee command as seen in other scripts

kidmakesreal · 2023-10-31T20:43:09Z

it gives me this error unless i run in root "bash: mcpi_server.desktop: Permission denied"

Minecraft Pi Server/description

sudo echo "[Desktop Entry]

/usr/share/applications is guaranteed to exist, there is no reason to make it.
sudo echo, echo does not need to be run with sudo
cd /usr/share/applications, it is better to tee directly to the full path of the file rather than rely on cd and then tee the file

kidmakesreal · 2023-11-02T19:20:50Z

Thank you for helping me make my script better

kidmakesreal · 2023-11-02T19:22:03Z

I've fixed all the issues (that i know of) it should work now

kidmakesreal · 2023-11-04T00:04:51Z

Hello anybody there?

TheBrokenRail · 2024-06-18T01:08:32Z

In the upcoming MCPI-Reborn v3.0.0, the client and server builds have been unified. Running the dedicated server will only require running MCPI-Reborn with --server.

kidmakesreal · 2024-06-18T01:28:36Z

Nice this is a really cool project I’m glad people will now be able to make their own servers and play multiplayer
