im not sure how to set up a vps

so i run a server and i want it to be up all the time. but i not sure how to set it up can someone give me a link to a guide or something that will help? by the way do all vps work with pocketmine?

 

It depends on where you buy it. DigitalOcean seems to be really popular, along with OVH. Both of those would work. As for setting it up and running PocketMine, you should learn the basic Linux commands. You don't need to know all of them, but just the basics. I suggest that you read the instructions for Linux at https://pmmp.io/get.html.
You can make your server 24/7 by using screen.

 

but i have windows is that going to be a problem?

 

Do you mean your VPS runs on Windows, or your own computer?

 

im saying im useing a windows computer. But i cant keep my server up 24/7 so im going to buy a vps and i need a guide how t setup everything.

 

Either get a Linux VPS (they are cheaper) or stick to your PC and don't turn it off lol

 

Or you can buy a server from a mcpe hosting service.

 

Simple steps:
1. Buy a $5/month Digitalocean plan, on ubuntu 16
2. Login with your credentials emailed to you by digitalocean (use the web console)
3. Set up a new user (google how to use the commands)
4. create a new directory for pocketmine, and cd into it
5. run

Code:

curl -sL https://get.pmmp.io | bash -s -

6. Done! the server installation setup should show up
if you use the web console, you don't have to worry about the server closing when you disconnect from your vps. if youre using ssh then get screen
and use filezilla to sftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx user pass to graphically upload/change your server files

 

And that will work for my windows labtop

 

try this

 

EDIT: I didn't realize the video was about digitalocean.
but i doubt that method works anymore. unless they're absolutely stupid, they would patch this loophole.
Whats wrong with $5 a month anyway? I spend more on coffee every day.
Heres a better tutorial with more detailed instructions that I personally made for this community. I actually cared enough to add an instructional voice to the video instead of filling it with cheap music

 

First: You don't need to pay extra for plugins or player slots on DigitalOcean because it is a VPS. Not a regular MCPE hosting service. Also, running apt-get update doesn't actually update any software itself, it updates the sources to install software from (when using apt-get).

I don't think it's that he didn't care. Some of us just can't use a microphone. Infact, I think that @Ishan Naik's tutorial is better, because it's more accurate in the long run.

 

Thank you!
