Recent thread made me wonder if anybody would want me to host a Minecraft server to play on. Have enough resources after ARK and Plex that I could do 200 players with ease.
If anybody is interested a managing party would be needed. I'd act as a host to keep hardware and internet going but the admin or set of admins would need to run the server itself. This would be in a VM with it's own NIC and port with static IP on my network sharing the same external IP as my ARK server for anybody wondering how I'd set it up. I have a DDNS service but I've just been too lazy to set it up. If there's sufficient traffic I'd switch for ease of address tracking.
Anybody?
For anybody wondering, my server is a dual Xeon 2640 (12 cores, 24 threads) setup with 32GB of RAM. I'd dedicate 16 initially to Minecraft and 4 cores unless we need to up the hardware. My Adobe Media Encoding is worked over with a Quadro K5200 and the first CPU and Plex doesn't use more than 4-6 threads at 3 second intervals.
