mineos Cookbook

This cookbook installs mineos on a fresh ubuntu system.
Refer to http://codeemo.com/mineoswiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu for further
information.

CAUTION: If you’re upgrading from 1.0.x (mineos 0.5) to 2.x.x (mineos 0.6),
please
- backup your servers (e.g. create an archive via the web ui)
- remove mineos 0.5 or just setup a new host machine
- run mineos::default
- restore your servers (e.g. use the web ui to re-create them from archives)

Known Issues

Right now (2013-10-27) MineOS 0.6 has some issues with Minecraft 1.7:

• The web UI will always show -1 connected players.
• The web UI does not display server logs.

These are general problems with MineOS and not specific to this cookbook.

Requirements

OS

• potentially any debian-based
• written for and tested on Ubuntu

packages

• chef :)

Usage

Just include mineos in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[mineos]"
  ]
}

Then, put all the users that should be granted full access to the webinterface
into the ['mineos']['group'] group.
