Installation

Automated installation

1. Install Termux from their GitHub Releases (IMPORTANT: The Play Store version is not supported and could cause issues).

2. Open Termux and run the following command to install git:

   pkg install git -y
   

3. Clone the repository and cd into it

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/redmicraft.git
   cd redmicraft
   

4. Launch install.sh

   ./install.sh
   

NOTE: This will also launch the server. You can stop the server by pressing Ctrl + C in the Termux app and run it again by executing java -Xmx2G -jar server.jar nogui or using the run.sh script.

Manual installation

1. Install Termux from their GitHub Releases (IMPORTANT: The Play Store version is not supported and could cause issues).

2. Run the following commands to install dependencies:

   pkg update
   pkg add openjdk-17
   pkg add curl
   

3. Setup storage

   cd
   termux-setup-storage
   cd storage/shared
   mkdir redmicraft
   cd redmicraft
   

4. Download the server files

   curl -OJ https://meta.fabricmc.net/v2/versions/loader/1.20.4/0.16.5/1.0.1/server/jar
   mv fabric-server-mc.1.20.4-loader.0.16.5-launcher.1.0.1.jar server.jar
   

5. Launch the server

   java -Xmx2G -jar server.jar nogui
   

NOTE: To stop the server, press Ctrl + C in the Termux app. To start the server again, run the above command once more.

TIP: You can easily save the above command as a script by creating a file named run.sh with the following content:

#! /bin/bash

cd
cd storage/shared/redmicraft
java -Xmx2G -jar server.jar nogui

Compatibility

This setup is designed to work with Termux on Android devices. It may work on other Android terminals, but this is not guaranteed.

Requirements

• Termux (not the Play Store version)
• Android 5.0+
• At least 3GB RAM (4GB recommended)

Tips

NOTE: While not required, it is highly recommended following the below steps for a smoother experience.

Keep the server running in the background

It is advised to use an utility like screen to keep the server running in the background.

```bash
pkg install screen -y
screen -R redmicraft
[the command to launch the server on your setup]
```

You will then be able to detach from the screen by pressing Ctrl + A followed by D.

To reattach to the screen, run screen -r redmicraft.

Use SSH to connect to the server

You can use SSH to connect to the server from your computer.

```bash
pkg install openssh -y
sshd
ifconfig
whoami
```

Running the above command will start the SSH server and print the IP address of your device (usually starting with 192.168.) followed by your username. You can now connect to the server with SSH from your computer.

TIP: You can run the SSH server automatically on startup by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc file (or the corresponding file for your shell if it does not exist):

```bash
# ...
# Start the SSH server on startup
sshd
```

NOTE: You will need to set up a password for your user, if you haven't already. You can do this by running the following command:

```bash
passwd
```

You can now connect to the server with SSH from your computer.

```bash
ssh yourusername@your-device-ip -p 8022
```
