Piqueserver is a Minecraft server software implemented in Python. In this tutorial, we will look at how to install Piqueserver on nixOS Latest. Piqueserver can run on different operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. The process of installation is the same on all platforms, except for some platform-specific steps.
Before installing Piqueserver, we need to ensure that the following dependencies are installed:
Follow these steps to install Piqueserver on nixOS Latest:
git clone https://github.com/piqueserver/piqueserver.git
cd piqueserver
nix-build -A piqueserver
The above command will generate a binary file named piqueserver
. Copy this file to a location where you want to store the Minecraft server files.
Create a configuration file for the Piqueserver by copying the example configuration file provided in the examples
directory.
cp examples/config.cfg .
nano config.cfg
./piqueserver -d
The -d
flag is optional, and it starts the server in daemon mode, allowing you to disconnect from the terminal without stopping the server. If you don't use the flag, the server will run in the foreground, and the terminal will be attached to it.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Piqueserver on nixOS Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
