Self-hosted Linux server
A modded Minecraft server I run on a Raspberry Pi 5, with scripted startup and backups.

- Raspberry Pi 5, Linux, Bash, Java
Setup
- Fabric mod loader on a Raspberry Pi 5, started by a launch script inside a detachable screen session, so it keeps running after I log out.
- A 5 GB maximum Java heap, sized to the Pi's memory.
- A backup script for the world files, and archived old worlds kept separately.
Upkeep
Every game update means a new server jar and mod loader version. I've kept the server current through several of them, with the earlier launchers kept alongside.
