Installer for Arch Linux

[ectokooler]

I have been using Arch Linux to host my Minecraft servers in the past, as it is a lightweight distribution that is as powerful and robust as you make it. I have managed to get it installed on Arch, but still have troubles creating a server via the msm commands. Mainly, apt-get poses a problem, and while a user was created upon executing "create new server", it did not provide the /home/minecraft folder on install. If this is not feasible, it would be helpful if I could find a document which explains alternate methods of getting MSM properly installed and functional.

Well, I would like to first of all not encourage using an Arch host as a server. Arch's updates sometimes are bound to break a system and can be time consuming to repair. I would personally use something like Ubuntu server or something else.

If you would still like to install it on Arch, you could follow up the install script and run the equivalent on Arch.

ex.

$ sudo apt-get install screen rsync zip

to

$ sudo pacman -Syu screen rsync zip

I actually started working on the arch.sh script that would make this work on Arch. The updating and installing is easy of course. I will need to research how to properly write a systemd service file so we can enable automatic start and shutdown at boot.

Done!
