MineCraft Community On-line Activity Log

• A Minecraft Server
• Python 2.7
• psutil (Optional: Needed by the agent to report server status)

1. Create an app engine application for the COAL installation. Take note of the application id you select.
2. Fork this repository.
3. Clone (or copy) the fork into the minecraft server directory (the directory containing the minecraft-server.jar and server.log files).
4. Change mc-coal in the first line of app.yaml to the application id from above.
5. Edit appengine_config.py installation-specific settings (whitelisted users, app title, etc.) as desired.
6. Deploy the application to app engine using oauth2. This is the first and only time you'll need to deploy the application yourself.

[~/minecraft-server/mc-coal] $ appcfg.py --oauth2 update .

7. Find the refresh_token in ~/.appcfg_ouath2_tokens. You'll need it to allow drone.io to deploy the application for you.
8. Set up a drone.io account.
9. Link a new drone.io project to the mc-coal fork. See drone.io settings below.
10. Link a new drone.io project deployment to your app engine application. You'll need your refresh token.
11. Test build/deploy.
12. In the mc-coal directory, run the agent:

[~/minecraft-server/mc-coal] $ python mc_coal_agent.py
2013-03-05 16:48:07,772 : main     INFO   Monitoring '../server.log' and reporting to 'my-app-id.appspot.com'...

13. Copy the mc-start.sh script into the minecraft server directory. Edit java configs as desired.
14. Start the minecraft server with the mc-start.sh script:

[~/minecraft-server] $ ./mc-start.sh
2013-03-05 16:49:18 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.4.7

15. Go to the new COAL installation at http://[my-app-id].appspot.com where [my-app-id] is the application id.
