I don’t know if the critique is well deserved, considering that “we” probably don’t “want people switching to”… a minecraft server management utility built in nodejs that’s also barely mantained.
Yeah, I think it’s clear that I really didn’t get the reasoning behind “we want people switching to”.
We’re talking about a server side utility, and whoever is using that should either have a bit of knowledge about servers, or be versatile enough to learn even if just by getting their hands dirty - on that regard, one should use a virtualisation system so that they can freely manage their OS and package versions without breaking everything in the meantime.

To contribute to this discussion, I tried CubeCoders AMP and never looked back.

Installation was relatively easy as it’s a one-liner installation script, but you have to purchase a license to set up a game server.

Mod management isn’t the best, as there is no real utility other than the file manager, but I understand that’s an almost impossible issue to solve because of how many configuration variants exist.

I had three instances running on three different systems at one point, even if just to host other game servers since it’s not limited to MC.

While I use LibreNMS as it uses SNMP for monitoring (which is pretty much available everywhere), I don’t believe it has http alerts, but I know for a fact that it can send Telegram messages.

Ironically, stowman is a bash script whose only purpose is to wrap git and stow so that you only need a couple of very simple commands in order to manage dotfiles, the automation (i.e. the synchronization task) doesn’t seem to be a part of stowman.

This and the “Cast youtube video to TV” without an external bridging software

I have been using exfat since it has support for big ISOs and is compatible with Linux.

The ST400 does NOT support ext4, but I didn’t care much: I wanted a partition scheme that was accessible from both Windows and Linux.

I don’t recall ever having to change the firmware for that, nor for NTFS which I have used the very first time when testing it out.

For my use case, I am using a cheap 120G ssd on which I only keep ISOs, so I never found myself needing multiple partitions…

Edit: The documentation does say that it supports multiple partitions, but again, I never tested that out, so YMMV…

Hope this helps.

Take a look at the IODD ST400.

It’s a hardware solution to your problem: you put multiple isos on an ssd, plug your ssd into the ST400, then plug the ST400 into the computer you want to live boot from (through USB).

From the ST400 you can quickly swap the active ISO, and it acts like a virtual DVD drive to the target computer, and you’re basically ejecting and inserting a new DVD every time you do so.

You can also mount it for RW operations (ie. for inserting new ISOs without having to remove the SSD), for which it acts like a regular usb disk - but I recommend using it usually in RO mode to avoid data corruption.

It’s not that user friendly, but once you get used to it, it’s a perfect multiboot tool to have in your belt.
