`minectl ๐Ÿ—บ`๏ธ๏ธ is a cli for creating Minecraft server on different cloud provider.

It is a private side project of me, to learn more about Go, CLI and multi-cloud environments.

### Supported cloud provider โ˜

+ Civo (https://www.civo.com/)
+ Scaleway (https://www.scaleway.com)
+ DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/)
+ Hetzner (https://www.hetzner.com/)
+ Akamai Connected Cloud (https://www.linode.com/)
+ OVHCloud (https://www.ovh.com/)
+ Equinix Metal (https://metal.equinix.com/)
+ Google Compute Engine (GCE) (https://cloud.google.com/compute)
+ Azure (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/)
+ Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (https://www.oracle.com/cloud/)
+ Ionos Cloud (https://cloud.ionos.de/)

### TL;DR ๐Ÿš€

#### Installing `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ`

Download the latest binary executable for your operating system.

##### Installation Script

```bash
curl -sLS https://get.minectl.dev | sudo sh
```

or without `sudo`

```bash
curl -sLS https://get.minectl.dev | sh
```

This will install the `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` to `~/.minctl/` and add it to your path. When it canโ€™t automatically add `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ`
to your path, you will be prompted to add it manually.

##### Mac OS X

- Use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
```bash
brew tap dirien/homebrew-dirien
brew install minectl
```

##### Windows

- Use Powershell

```powershell
#Create directory
New-Item -Path "$HOME/minectl/cli" -Type Directory
# Download file
Start-BitsTransfer -Source https://github.com/dirien/minectl/releases/download/v0.7.0/minectl_0.7.0_windows_amd64.zip -Destination "$HOME/minectl/cli/."
# Uncompress zip file
Expand-Archive $HOME/minectl/cli/*.zip -DestinationPath C:\Users\Developer\minectl\cli\.
#Add to Windows `Environment Variables`
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path",$($env:Path + ";$Home\minectl\cli"),'User')
```

##### Source install

You need to have [go](https://golang.org/) installed, and need to checkout
the [Git repository](https://github.com/dirien/minectl) and run the following commands:

```bash
make build
```

This will output the `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` binary in the `bin/minectl` folder.

### Architectural overview

You can find a high level architectural overview [here](docs/architecture.md)

### Usage โš™

#### Access Token ๐Ÿ”‘

`minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` is completely build on zero-trust. It does not save any API Tokens, instead it looks them up in the ENV
variables.

##### Civo

```bash
export CIVO_TOKEN=xx
```

##### Digital Ocean

```bash
export DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN=xxx
```

##### Scaleway

```bash
export ACCESS_KEY=xxx
export SECRET_KEY=yyy
export ORGANISATION_ID=zzz
```

##### Hetzner

```bash
export HCLOUD_TOKEN=yyyy
```

##### Akamai Connected Cloud

```bash
export LINODE_TOKEN=xxxx
```

#### OVHCloud

You need to create API keys per endpoint. For an overview of available endpoint
check [supported-apis](https://github.com/ovh/go-ovh#supported-apis) documentation

For, example, Europe visit https://eu.api.ovh.com/createToken to create your API keys for `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ`

![img.png](docs/img/ovh_create_token.png)

For the proper `rights` choose all HTTP Verbs (GET,PUT,DELETE, POST), and we need only the `/cloud/*` API.

```bash
export OVH_ENDPOINT=ovh-eu
export APPLICATION_KEY=xxx
export APPLICATION_SECRET=yyy
export CONSUMER_KEY=zzz
export SERVICENAME=
```

#### Equinix Metal

```bash
export METAL_AUTH_TOKEN=xxx
export EQUINIX_PROJECT=yyy
```

#### Google Compute Engine (GCE)

```bash
export GCE_KEY=/key.json
```

See [Getting Started - GCE edition](docs/getting-started-gce.md) for details on how to create a GCP service account for
minectl ๐Ÿ—บ`

#### Vultr

```bash
export VULTR_API_KEY=xxx
```

#### Azure

> Please select a Hypervisor Generation '2' VM Size. As `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` use only Hypervisor Generation 2 Image

You need to set the subscription Id via the `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` environment variable.

```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=xxx
```

##### Option 1: Define environment variables

###### Service principal with a secret
```bash
export AZURE_TENANT_ID="
fingerprint=
key_file=>path to PEM file>
tenancy=
region=
```

Please follow the instructions under -> https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm

#### Ionos Cloud (limited support)

> I can offer only limited support for Ionos Cloud, as I don't have access to the API anymore. Ionos Cloud is a B2B only
> cloud service.

```bash
export IONOS_USERNAME=xxx
export IONOS_PASSWORD=yyy
export IONOS_TOKEN=
```

#### Amazon AWS

`minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` looks for credentials in the following order:

- Environment variables.
- Shared credentials file.

##### Credentials file

The credentials file is most often located in the `~/.aws/credentials` and contains following content:

```bash
cat ~/.aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = xxxx
aws_secret_access_key = zzzz
```

##### Environment variables can be set in the following way:

```bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
export AWS_REGION=
```

#### VEXXHOST

It is recommended to store OpenStack credentials as environment variables because it decouples credential information
from source code:

So download the `OpenStack RC File` from the Horizon UI by click on the "Download OpenStack RC File" button at the top
right-hand corner.

To execute the file, run source `xxxx-openrc.sh` and you will be prompted for your password.

Thats all.

#### Multipass

> โš ๏ธ Set the plan to cpu-memG. For example: 1-2G

Multipass is a mini-cloud on your workstation using native hypervisors of all the supported platforms (Windows, macOS
and Linux), it will give you an Ubuntu command line in just a click (โ€œOpen shellโ€) or a simple multipass shell command,
or even a keyboard shortcut. Find what images are available with multipass find and create new instances with multipass
launch.

To install multipass, just follow the instructions on [multipass.run](https://multipass.run/) for your platform.

#### Exoscale

Go to the IAM section in the Exoscale Console and create a new API key. You can restricte the key to just perform
operations on the `compute` service.

```bash
export EXOSCALE_API_KEY=
export EXOSCALE_API_SECRET=
```

#### Fuga Cloud

To get the `OpenStack RC File` from the Fuga Cloud UI, follow this steps:

1. Log in to the Fuga Cloud Dashboard
2. Go to Account โ†’ Access โ†’ Credentials
3. You can choose a user credential or team credential.
4. If you havenโ€™t already, you should create one of these credentials. Hold on to the password.
5. Click on download OpenRC. This file contains all necessary configurations for the client.

```bash
source fuga-openrc.sh
```

Enter the password which matches the username of the contents of the OpenRC file.

#### Minecraft Server Versions ๐Ÿ“š

> โš ๏ธ `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` is not(!) providing any pre-compiled binaries of Minecraft or download a pre-compiled version.
>
> Every _non-vanilla_ version will be compiled during the build phase of your server.

Following Minecraft versions is `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` supporting.

##### Vanilla (Mincraft: Java Edition or Bedrock Edition)

The Vanilla software is the original, untouched, unmodified Minecraft server software created and distributed directly
by Mojang.

##### CraftBukkit

CraftBukkit is lightly modified version of the Vanilla software allowing it to be able to run Bukkit plugins.

##### Spigot

Spigot is the most popular used Minecraft server software in the world. Spigot is a modified version of CraftBukkit with
hundreds of improvements and optimizations that can only make CraftBukkit shrink in shame.

##### PaperMC

Paper (formerly known as PaperSpigot, distributed via the Paperclip patch utility) is a high performance fork* of
Spigot.

##### Purpur

Purpur is a drop-in replacement for Paper servers designed for configurability and new, fun, exciting gameplay features.

##### Forge

Forge is well known for being able to use Forge Mods which are direct modifications to the Minecraft program code. In
doing so, Forge Mods can change the gaming-feel drastically as a result of this.

##### Fabric

Fabric is also an mod loader like Forge is with some improvements. Its lightweight and faster and it may is being the
best mod loader in the future because its doing very good.

#### Minecraft Proxy Versions ๐Ÿ“š

Network proxy server is what you set up and use as the controller of a network of server - this is the server that
connects all of your playable servers together so people can log in through one server IP, and then teleport between the
separate servers ingame rather than having to log out and into each different one.

A server network typically consist of the following servers:

1. The proxy server itself running the desired software (BungeeCord being the most widely used and supported). This is
the server that you would be advertising the IP of, as all players should be logging in through the proxy server at
all times

2. The hub (or main) server. When users connect to the network proxy server's IP, it will re-route those users to this
server.

3. All additional servers beyond the main server. Once you have at least one server running the proxy and one as the
hub, any other servers will be considered extra servers that you can teleport to from the hub.

##### Bungee Cord

BungeeCord is a useful software written in-house by the team at SpigotMC. It acts as a proxy between the player's client
and the connected Minecraft servers. End-users of BungeeCord see no difference between it and a normal Minecraft server.

##### Waterfall

Waterfall is a fork of BungeeCord, a proxy used primarily to teleport players between multiple Minecraft servers.

Waterfall focuses on three main areas:

- Stability
- Features
- Scalability

#### Velocity

A Minecraft server proxy with unparalleled server support, scalability, and flexibility. Velocity is licensed under the
GPLv3 license.

- A codebase that is easy to dive into and consistently follows best practices for Java projects as much as reasonably
possible.
- High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
- A new, refreshing API built from the ground up to be flexible and powerful whilst avoiding design mistakes and
suboptimal designs from other proxies.
- First-class support for Paper, Sponge, and Forge. (Other implementations may work, but we make every endeavor to
support these server implementations specifically.)

#### Server Configs ๐Ÿ“‹

##### Spot Instances

When you want to run a Minecraft server on a spot instance, you can use the following configuration options:

``` yaml
...
spot:
...
```

This will enable the server to be run on a spot instance. At the moment, this is only supported by AWS, Azure and GCP.

##### MinecraftProxy Config ๐Ÿ“ก

If you want to start a server with a Minecraft Proxy, you need to define a MinecraftProxy proxy.

```yaml
apiVersion: minectl.ediri.io/v1alpha1
kind: MinecraftProxy
metadata:
name: minecraft-proxy
spec:
server:
cloud:
region:
size:
ssh:
port: 22 | or your custom port
publickeyfile: ".pub"
fail2ban:
bantime: ""
maxretry: ""
port:
spot:
arm:
proxy:
java:
openjdk:
xmx:
xms:
options:
- "-XX:+UseG1GC"
- "-XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled"
- "-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200"
rcon:
password:
port:
enabled:
broadcast:
```

##### MincraftServer Config ๐Ÿ•น

You need a MinecraftServer manifest file, to describe the underlying compute instance and the Minecraft Server:

```yaml
apiVersion: minectl.ediri.io/v1alpha1
kind: MinecraftServer
metadata:
name: minecraft-server
spec:
monitoring:
enabled: true|false
server:
cloud: "provider: civo|scaleway|do|hetzner|akamai|ovh|equinix|gce|vultr|azure|oci|ionos|aws|vexxhost|multipass|exoscale"
region: "region see cloud provider for details eg. fra1"
size: "see cloud provider docs for details eg. g3.large"
volumeSize: 100
ssh:
port: 22 | or your custom port
publickeyfile: ".pub"
fail2ban:
bantime: ""
maxretry: ""
port: "25565|19132 are the defaults for tcp/udp"
spot:
arm:
minecraft:
java:
openjdk: "8|16 use jdk 8 for <1.17 java server version"
xmx: 2G
xms: 2G
options:
- "-XX:+UseG1GC"
- "-XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled"
- "-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200"
rcon:
password: test
port: 25575
enabled: true
broadcast: true
edition: "java|bedrock|craftbukkit|fabric|forge|papermc|spigot|purpur"
version: ""
eula: true
properties: |
level-seed=minectlrocks
broadcast-rcon-to-ops=true
...
```

> Attention: Please lookup the correct service size if you are setting the `arm` attribute to `true`

I created some example configs in the [config](config) folder for currently supported cloud provider and Minecraft
editions.

#### EULA โš–

You need to set explicitly the EULA as new property in the MinecraftServer manifest to indicate your agreement with the
Minecraft End User License. See -> https://minecraft.net/terms for the details.

- Node exporter (https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter)

The `edition:java` has on top following exporter included:

- Minecraft exporter (https://github.com/dirien/minecraft-prometheus-exporter)

You can acces the `prometheus` via

```bash

```

#### Volumes ๐Ÿ’ฝ

With the `volumeSize` property, you can provision an extra volume during the creation phase of the server.

It is always recommended using the provided volume of the server, but in some cases (large mod packs, community server,
etc.) it makes sense to provision a bigger volume separately.

When a separate volume is defined, `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` is automatically installing the Minecraft binaries on this volume.

```yaml
apiVersion: minectl.ediri.io/v1alpha1
kind: MinecraftServer
metadata:
name: minecraft-server
spec:
server:
cloud: akamai
region: eu-central
size: g6-standard-4
volumeSize: 100
ssh:
port: 22 | or your custom port
publickeyfile: "/ssh"
fail2ban:
bantime: ""
maxretry: ""
port: 25565
minecraft:
...
```

#### Headless Mode ๐Ÿ‘ป

With the global flag `headless`, it is now possible to run `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` in a less human-readable output version. This is
very helpful, if you want to run `minectl ๐Ÿ—บ` in workflow.

The flag `verbose` sets the level of logging and with `log-encoding` you can decide between `json` and `console` as
encoding format.

#### Security ๐Ÿ”’

##### SSH Port

Now you can use the `port` property under the `ssh` object, to define the SSH port of the server. Per default, the SSH
port is 22. This helps a lot, to avoid hackers to bruteforce your server.

##### SSH Key

With the `publickeyfile` property, you can define the location of your SSH public key on your local machine.

With the `publickey` property, you can define the content of your SSH public key.

```yaml
...
publickey: "ssh-rsa AAAAB3 ... xxx"
```

If you need to update or upload a plugin to your server, you need to provide the SSH private key in the command with the
new flag `--ssh-key`.

##### Fail2Ban

Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention software framework that protects computer servers from brute-force attacks. With the
property `bantime` you can define the ban time in seconds. With the property `maxretry` you can define the max retry.

If `maxretry` is reached, the IP is banned for the defined time (`bantime`).
