Hi Spigot, I wouldnt consider myself a Systems Administrator by any means. But I'm a server owner venturing into the world of dedicated machines and its been quite overwhelming. I purchased the MC-32 from OVH. I'm looking to run two separate Minecraft servers off of the same machine. Different IPs, no bungeecord or anything. Two completely separate servers. I've purchased a second IP from OVH and its listed as a failover IP. I'm not sure if this is what I will need. After watching a number of setup videos I'm confident I can setup my current server on the dedicated machine. But how do I launch a second one totally separately?
So setup my server folder on the machine twice and assign each folder to a different IP in the server.properties file?
Yes, or you could do it by port. Code (serverproperties (Unknown Language)): generator-settings= op-permission-level=4 allow-nether=true resource-pack-hash= level-name=world enable-query=false allow-flight=false announce-player-achievements=true #change port here: server-port=25565 max-world-size=29999984 level-type=DEFAULT enable-rcon=false level-seed= force-gamemode=false #put your 2nd ip here server-ip= network-compression-threshold=256 max-build-height=256 spawn-npcs=true white-list=false spawn-animals=true snooper-enabled=true online-mode=true resource-pack= pvp=true difficulty=1 enable-command-block=false gamemode=0 player-idle-timeout=0 max-players=20 max-tick-time=60000 spawn-monsters=true generate-structures=true view-distance=10 motd=A Minecraft Server
You will need to configure the IP address on the server. OVH have articles on their site to setting up their failover IPs.
If I'm following the OVH guide correctly, I'm going too need two nsxxx servers from OVH to do this with completely separate IPs? Or can I simply just change the bind.ip to my failover IP and be done no configuration nessecary? My reason behind not wanting to go the port route is advertisement purposes. I've already posted on a few server lists and I don't want to be unable to post my second server too.
Gotcha. Do I do infact need two services like the guide suggests in the prerequisites? Or am I not understanding it correctly. I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Just read the guide, nowhere does it say that you need 2 different servers, All you need is a single server and to get failover IPs.
