Minecraft-Overviewer is a minecraft mapcreator and viewer for webpages.

In this guide we setup an automatic rendering server based on:

• Fedora 28
• My copr repos enaut/minecraft-overviewer-weekly
• systemd
• systemd.timer

When the server is set up with systemd and rcon it is still quite cumbersome to connect to the command promt.

To get a nice and slick command center I created a bash script that opens up a tmux session with two panes. The first pane contains the the already logged in command promt of the minecraftserver and the second pane contains the last 40 journal entries and updates live if anything new is coming.

Minecraft is a well liked sandbox game that can provide hours and days of gaming fun especially if it is on a server with multiple players.

In this article I will describe the setup I used. The important parts of the setup are:

• spigot as the server
• Fedora 28 is the OS I'm on
• systemd including service file and "sandboxing"
• firewalld to block and open ports
• mcrcon for connecting to the running instance
• java-openjdk for - you know - minecraft

Git is a nice tool to manage one's source code as well as tons of other files. There are hundreds of git HOWTOs already out there but this one is mine. I just setup my git as I'm used to it.

When printing the labels for books the barcode is smaller than expected. It does not cover the width of the page and is left-aligned. This is a note to my future self and maybe to someone else how the barcodesize can be increased.

Beim Ausdrucken der Label für die Bücher wird der Barcode nicht über die volle Breite des Etiketts gedruckt. Das führt dazu, dass der Scanner den Code schlecht ablesen kann weil er zu klein ist. Dieser Artikel ist haupsächlich für mich selbst, dass ich nach einem update die Änderungen erneut machen kann. Aber vielleicht hilft der Artikel ja auch jemand anderem.
