You should start with a fresh install of your chosen operating system; in this case, we are using Debian 7.

Install The Needed Dependencies

apt-get update
apt-get -y install screen python-cherrypy3 rdiff-backup git openjdk-7-jre-headless

Create A Directory And Download MineOS.

mkdir -p /usr/games
cd /usr/games git clone git://github.com/hexparrot/mineos minecraft cd minecraft git config core.filemode false chmod +x server.py mineos_console.py generate-sslcert.sh

ln -s /usr/games/minecraft/mineos_console.py /usr/local/bin/mineos

Copy files and set up permissions.

cp /usr/games/minecraft/init/mineos /etc/init.d/
chmod 744 /etc/init.d/mineos
update-rc.d mineos defaults
cp /usr/games/minecraft/init/minecraft /etc/init.d/
chmod 744 /etc/init.d/minecraft
update-rc.d minecraft defaults
cp /usr/games/minecraft/mineos.conf /etc/

Create A Self-Signed Certificate For HTTPS

cd /usr/games/minecraft ./generate-sslcert.sh

Start MineOS

service mineos start

Create A User

adduser <somename>

Log in to the Web UI

Navigate to https://yourip:8888. Your browser will ask if you want to connect due to the self-signed certificate. Accept the connection. Log in using your root credentials.

Configure Minecraft

In the left pane, click Manage Profiles and create at least one server profile.
Click “update” profile.
Log out as root.

Create A Server

Log in as the user you created before.
Click Create New Server on the left pane.
Fill in your Minecraft server settings.
Click “Dashboard” on the left pane.
Select your server.
Click Start.

If everything is working, then your server will start. For a few moments, you will see -1 for Players Online. This will go to 0. Then, you can log in with your Minecraft client.

Play Minecraft

Connect to your server with its IP or domain name (if you created one) and the port from the server settings. The default port is 25565.
