I am currently attempting to run a minecraft server using an old phone using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8ryI-NYIq4&t=349s
After finishing this tutorial, I am trying to use playit.gg to allow my friends to connect to my server, although I am unsure on how to install it using my phone (samsung note 10 lite). I have seen the "raw binaries page" but am unsure on how to import these into the server, if I have to do that at all. I am very sorry as this is my first time working with a server, and I can easily assume that this is very hard to understand or read.
Linux version might be Linux localhost 4.9.191 (I am so genuinely sorry)

Running a Minecraft Server on WHAT???

Got old Android phones? Spare phones? Nothing to do with them? With this, you can run a completely local Minecraft server on the latest version of Minecraft! No root required!

To download the binary, run
wget https://github.com/playit-cloud/playit-agent/releases/download/v0.15.13/playit-linux-aarch64

#

then to run it you just run the file

#

i.e ./playit-linux-aarch64

#

this isn't related to it being a server

#

This is just the equivalent of downloading and running an .exe file on windows

wild rose
#

im trying it now thank you so mcuh

#

it just seemed so complicated

solar lichen
wild rose
#

well the video didnt cover making it an online server

#

for the purposes it did pretty well, bar messing up and not editing it out

solar lichen
#

The problem is port forwarding

wild rose
#

yeah but not port forwarded i gotchu

solar lichen
#

The server is online, as in it can connect to the internet. But the problem is players can't connect to the server.

#

Its a oneway street

#

Sometimes it's impossible to make it a two way street because of ISP being shitheads

wild rose
#

hopefully mine isnt

solar lichen
#

Therefore playit, zerotier, tailscale, etc. and other proxy/holepunching services and programs were made

#

playit works by providing servers that your computer connects to, once its connected, playit servers can send info back to your phone

#

Players can "connect" by going through the playit server when then goes back to your phone

#

See the problem here is there's two jumps so it's laggier than solutions like zerotier or tailscale

Those two work by setting up a connection directly between the user and the server. Only using zerotier servers to exchange information needed to make a direct connection, thus making it faster.

solar lichen
#

Which is what Playit does

wild rose
#

sory to ask but is the version you gave me for ubuntu as well? i know arch linux is also a thing

solar lichen
wild rose
#

😭

solar lichen
#

Alpine, Arch, Debian, Lesbian, Uwuntu, whatever

#

itll work

#

(the last two are real distros, trust me)

wild rose
#

was the mistake on the spelling deliberate?

solar lichen
wild rose
#

lmao

solar lichen
#

Uwuntu is not Ubuntu

#

It's a distro of it's own

#

like Lesbian

wild rose
#

you know i posted this and i was so scared some dude would come in all like "you worded this wrong, im perma banning you now"

solar lichen
wild rose
#

so after I install do i run the command before booting up the minecraft server?

wild rose
solar lichen
#

Should work eitherway

Although I should point out that playit is not technically supported

wild rose
#

erm

solar lichen
#

It's closed source so any issues that arise from it can't really be fixed

wild rose
#

ah okay

solar lichen
wild rose
#

theoretically, if im really dumb, how do i do that?

solar lichen
#

haha it took me 2 weeks to find it even existed, dw

solar lichen
wild rose
#

holy moly

#

goated

solar lichen
#

this has a limit of like 10 or so terminals

#

its not infinite

wild rose
#

right

solar lichen
#

i call it terminal but it could also be console

#

or command line

#

or whatever

wild rose
#

where would I find the command list for playit

solar lichen
#

~~i dunno what its really called ~~

solar lichen
wild rose
#

i tried typing what you sent it sort of just airballed me

solar lichen
#

show pic

wild rose
#

was i supposed to install it here as well?

solar lichen
#

can you send the output of the wget command and do ls as well?

wild rose
#

ah

#

that is in the other one

#

i might install it here as well i am realising now

solar lichen
#

i have no clue what you're talking about

#

the wget command was supposed to download the aarch64 linux version for playit in the directory you're in

wild rose
#

I ran the install on the session/command line/console that i installed minecraft server etc on

solar lichen
#

What is the install?

wild rose
#

for playit

#

sorry

solar lichen
#

There isn't one

#

You don't install playit

#

it also doesn't matter where you run it

#

Just run it

#

and it should work

#

Send the output of what happens when you run it

wild rose
#

i get hit wuith that

#

the wget command did the whole this thing

solar lichen
#

oh

#

what the fuck

#

what is that guide telling you

#

jesus christ

#

what a load of balooney

wild rose
#

i am confused

solar lichen
#

wtf is AnLinux

#

okay what the fuck

solar lichen
#

It wastes like 6gb of storage space and is slower

wild rose
#

😭 i just want to play minecraft with my best friend

solar lichen
#

If you want we can continue with this or you can delete everything the guy told you to download

wild rose
#

without paying a bajillion pounds a month for a server

solar lichen
solar lichen
#

itll be free

#

you just need one

#

do you have one?

wild rose
#

will the render distance be greater than 2 chunks?

#

yes

solar lichen
#

24gb ram, 100gb storage, 4 cores aarch64

wild rose
#

holy moly!

solar lichen
#

30/7/365

#

well

#

except when they randomly decide to turn it off

wild rose
#

oh

#

i mean thats somethig

solar lichen
#

so you'll need to backup the world regularly to google drive or sth

#

oracle offers this free vm

#

it might be too hard for you though

#

Anyways

#

You can continue with the stupid way the guy in the vid says with my help

#

or delete everything that guide said snd follow me instead

wild rose
#

or i can do this one instead

solar lichen
#

or go get the free linux vm from Oracle

wild rose
#

Can i follow you instead

solar lichen
#

(the menu is kinda confusing and broken on mobile)

wild rose
#

but do it later today

solar lichen
#

first

wild rose
#

because I kind of wanna play league

solar lichen
#

delete anlinux

#

2nd

wild rose
#

oh okay

solar lichen
#

clear data termux

#

because its a load of waste of storage space and slower and complicated

wild rose
#

right okay, and then can we do the rest later?

#

I mean I dont really use this phone for anything i dont really care

solar lichen
#

yeah

solar lichen
#

can it even do more than 2 rd

wild rose
solar lichen
#

looks ehhh

wild rose
#

tell me about it

solar lichen
#

I don't think this can do 4rd

wild rose
#

?

solar lichen
#

at least not without going below 20tps

#

the phone is p weak

#

and its an exynos too so

wild rose
#

render distance ohh oay

solar lichen
#

But if its gonna be dedicated solely to this task

#

and with fabric perf mods

#

i think you can do 6rd with a small spawn region

#

the battery is gonna die though

wild rose
#

it would be perma plugged in

solar lichen
#

The battery will be murdered then

#

neat

wild rose
#

😭

solar lichen
#

Hey its not all bad

#

they don't check battery health when trading in phones

wild rose
#

can we do your way later?

solar lichen
#

sure

wild rose
solar lichen
#

wild rose
#

solar lichen
#

its a script that installs the needed shit for an mc server

wild rose
#

solar lichen
#

solar lichen
safe anvil
wild rose
#

@solar lichen is now a good time?

#

actually im going to try it myself

wild rose
#

nevermind i might need your help when you are free

solar lichen
#

lmao 3am

#

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sa1672ndo/vs2termux/main/vs2server.sh

#

./vs2termux.sh

#

run those commands

wild rose
#

i was doing the oracle server actually

wild rose
#

couldnt get the server running in the end

solar lichen
wild rose
#

couldn't make the actual vm

wild rose
solar lichen
wild rose
#

one moment

#

I acnt move the black thing at the end

#

I try on ad2, no shapes are available in that one

wild rose
solar lichen
#

oh yeah rip

#

You kinda have to wait in that case for one of the regions to open up a space

wild rose
#

ah

solar lichen
#

Optionally, delete your account and sign up again but pick a country that is less populated so you can use servers that are less full

wild rose
#

how long is that normally

wild rose
solar lichen
#

depends

wild rose
#

would i have to use a different card though?

solar lichen
#

no

#

it didnt when i last tried

wild rose
#

might do later

#

thank you word man
