🎯 ARM64 Performance Revolution

Why FEX Matters

Traditional ARM64 emulation (QEMU) is slow and resource-heavy. Our FEX integration changes everything:

Platform	Boot Time	Memory Usage	CPU Usage
ARM64 + FEX	~2 minutes	~1.2GB	~15%
x86_64 Native	~2 minutes	~1.0GB	~12%
ARM64 + QEMU	~8 minutes	~2.1GB	~45%

Optimized FEX Configuration

# Automatically applied in our container
FEX_ENABLE_JIT_CACHE=1
FEX_JIT_CACHE_SIZE=1024
FEX_ENABLE_LAZY_MEMORY_DELETION=1
FEX_ENABLE_STATIC_REGISTER_ALLOCATION=1

📊 Advanced Features

🔄 Smart Idle Management

# Automatically restart server when empty
IDLE_RESTART_ENABLED=true
IDLE_RESTART_MINUTES=30

# Discord notification in your language
🇺🇸 "⏰ No players for 30 minutes. Restarting server (My Server)."
🇰🇷 "⏰ 30분 동안 접속자가 없어 서버(My Server)를 재시작합니다."
🇯🇵 "⏰ 30分間プレイヤーがいなかったため、サーバー(My Server)を再起動します。"

💾 Enterprise Backup System

backup:
    enabled: true
    interval_seconds: 3600 # Hourly backups
    retention_days: 7 # Keep daily for 7 days
    retention_weeks: 4 # Keep weekly for 4 weeks
    retention_months: 6 # Keep monthly for 6 months
    compress: true # Gzip compression
