Sure, no problem, just for you two to play and explore and for me to hack the stuff :) But wait, these days almost anyone can follow the steps online and do this. Let’s make it my way :) I’ve written a set of Ansible playbooks enabling me to create Minecraft Java Edition Server on Debian 9 (Stretch).
The playbooks will:
- add limited user account
- install all required packages
- secure the server
- automatic security updates
- hardening SSH access
- using Fail2Ban for SSH login protection (TODO)
- configure a Firewall with UFW
- install and configure Minecraft Server
- install and configure McMyAdmin for Minecraft
With the help of Ansible, you’ll get your server up and be running in a matter of minutes.
