A simple kubernetes deployment of a minecraft server
This project works well for a simple deployment, such as a DIY homelab setup, where you'd like to run a minecraft server on a kubernetes cluster. This deploys the latest itzg/minecraft-server, which is a Java Edition Minecraft server. By running this engine in a container, it offers better isolation from its host filesystem and networking. And by running it on kubernetes, it provides a declartative deployment and rohbustness features, such as liveness probes.
To run this deployment on the kubernetes cluster, simply:
kubectl apply -f minecraft-server.yaml
Note, This minecraft server deployment currently assumes it's persistent data is kept in the /volumes/minecraft-home/server host directory. And the web-client is currently explosed through a cluster nodePort: 25565
