Thanks I get what you’re saying. I’m thinking more in line of “update hype has died down, everyone goes on vacation - we probably won’t play for a few weeks”. Either way I’ll be able to start it up from my smartphone at anytime so all it takes is a quick chat message to have me start it up :)

Interesting, thanks. Although the guide says roughly 10$ for t3.medium (2vCPU 4gb RAM) and I’m paying half of that at my current hoster for comparable specs. Still a cool guide!

It’s running! I had to use the same Java version but that was basically it. Maybe I’ll share the start-up/persistence scripts if they’re done soon-ish.

Thanks, that’s what I assumed. I’m hoping it’ll be easy to switch to better specs in the cloud and still affordable, especially if it’s easy to spin down the server on demand. We’re usually playing “in bursts” of a few weeks…

Oh thanks a lot for that recommendation, I was looking for docker images but nothing seemed just right.
