Hello, I was just wondering if there was any possiable way to make my server online 24/7 so players can connect any time wivout the console being turned on all the time. I would appriciate anyones suggestions on how to do this, thanks.
If you're on Linux you can install screen or tumx. They allow you to exit the terminal or SSH session without killing the server.
@jasonwynn10 So I must use a whole different pc to run in and never turn it off? Is that the only way?
If you're using Windows, than you should be able to simply minimize the console. You don't have to use another PC, you could just use your normal one. But whatever you do, you can't turn it off.
@Edwardthedog2 Ok thanks but my pc turn off by itself after a certain amount of time so is there no fix?
still using that is not very ideal... nor good in anyways, just like how keeping an SSH connection alive to keep your server alive is not very good solution as you buy a server because you dont want to rely on your own PC begin on 24/7
What's the problem on hosting a server at home when you have a decent internet connection? Right, nothing!
Then what's the question? Do you think your PC can magically process stuff without being turned on or what?
