Configure Bungee

Bungee is a Minecraft server proxy that can let users connect to a multi server network though one connection.

Configuring Bungee

The First things you need to do to configure Bungee is switch both of the game server to online mode.

This can be easily accomplished with enviornment varriables.

Add the following enviornment varriable and value to smp and hub.

ONLINE_MODE=FALSE

Networking

In Openshift everytime a new pod is created it gets a new ip address. When configureing interpod communication you should use the domain name instead. For out services the internal domain names are:

App	Domain Name
bungee	bungee.minecraft-server.svc.cluster.local
hub	hub.minecraft-server.svc.cluster.local
smp	smp.minecraft-server.svc.cluster.local

Using these we give the bungee proxy server targets

• Go to a terminal and type minishift ssh

• Navigate to the local bungee volume directory

  cd /mnt/sda1/var/lib/minishift/openshift.local.volumes/pv/minecraft-server/bungee

• Now edit the config.yml file

• Change this

servers:
  lobby:
    motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
    address: localhost:25565
    restricted: false

• To this

servers:
  hub:
    motd: 'Welcome to the Hub Server!'
    address: hub.minecraft-server.svc.cluster.local:25565
    restricted: false
  smp:
    motd: 'Welcome to the SMP Server!'
    address: smp.minecraft-server.svc.cluster.local:25565
    restricted: false

Expose the Bungee App

Now that you have comfigured bungee it is time to expose the service so that you can connect to it.

• Go to Applications -> Routes
• Click Create Route
• Name The Route Bungee and ensure that bungee is selected as the service

Since our service is not HTTP based we need to create a NodePort Service to expose it so that we can connect.

The way we do this is by exposing it as the type LoadBalancer

oc expose dc bungee --type=LoadBalancer --name=bungee-ingress

Now see what port the server is exposed on.

oc get svc/bungee-ingress the second port is the one you need to connect

Now you should be able to connect to the server
