Server Installation (docker)

Initially run the following command to accept EULA terms:

docker run --rm \
-v skyfactory4:/var/lib/skyfactory4 \
mikenoethiger/skyfactory4 ash -c 'echo "eula=true" > eula.txt'

This will create the docker volume where all the skyfactory data will be persisted and then write eula=true to eula.txt which is the whole eula-terms-accepting magic. The container is automatically removed after the command terminates (ensured by --rm).

Now run the server as a container:

docker run -dit \
-p 25565:25565 \
-v skyfactory4:/var/lib/skyfactory4 \
--restart always \
--name skyfactory4 \
mikenoethiger/skyfactory4

Run docker attach skyfactory4 in order to use the interactive minecraft shell. Hit CRTL+P+Q to exit attached mode.

Run docker volume inspect skyfactory4 in order to get the volume path on the host system, where all the world data and so forth is stored.

Server Installation (manual)

1. Downlod and unzip Server Files
2. Run install.sh
3. (Optional) Update max memory usage in settings.sh
4. Run ServerStart.sh to start the server (will initially fail)
5. After intial server start failed, set eula=true in eula.txt
6. Run ServerStart.sh again and wait until server startet
7. In the interactive shell type help to get a list of available commands.
8. Type stop to save data and stop server.

Load Backups

Skyfactory automatically creates backups and stores them in the backups folder. My common routine to load a backup is as follows (make sure to cd to the skyfactory4 volume beforehand):

mkdir archive
mv world archive
mkdir world
cp backups/world/Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip world
cd world
unzip Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip
rm Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip

This routine is summarized in the loadbackup.sh script provided in this repository. Usage example:

./loadbackup.sh Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip
