    • About

    Hi I'm Ethan, me and my dad built a Minecraft server to allow me to connect with my friends over Covid lockdown.

    Our solution consists of two virtual guests both runing Ubuntu Server one on vSphere and one on Hyper-V.

    On Server 1 (Minecraft) we use CubeCoders AMP software to install and manage our gaming servers. On Server 2 (Web) we use Apache HTTP Server and have configured the server to serve this website and to act as a reverse proxy for secure access to the Dynmap website.

    Server 1

    The first server to be built was the Minecraft server and is a guest in Hyper-V.
    Operating System: Ubuntu Server 22.04
    CPU: 4 cores (Intel® Xeon® E-2224)
    RAM: 16GB

    Server 2

    The second server to be built was the Web server and reverse proxy and is a guest in vSphere ESXi.
    Operating System: Ubuntu Server 22.04
    CPU: 4 cores (Intel® Xeon® E3-1220L V2)
    RAM: 2GB
