CentOS7, Linux, RedHat (I'm thinking about doing Minecraft since I'm most familiar with it)
You are tasked with setting up networked multiplayer GAME SERVER of your choosing on one of your Linux virtual machines. There are some requirements:
1. The game must have a Linux compatible server (do some searching on your favorite multiplayer games to see if a Linux server is available).
Hint: If you have a STEAM client installed on a Linux desktop system you can find quite a bit of these listed there, or just go on the steam site and search for them.
2. Compile the LATEST version of the server software from source code on your CentOS 7 minimal system (go to the game's website and download the source code or installer).
*You will need to find the dependencies and install them as well. You can install dependencies via yum if they are available. If not you will have to compile them from source code as well. Or investigate how to install 3rd party repositories within CentOS for yum in order to get the dependencies if they are available through a separate repo like EPEL or ATRPMS.
*If there is no source code available for the server your are attempting to install use whatever install method the developers provide and document the process.
3. Configure the game server per the documentation .
4. Install the game client on your HOST system.
5. Use your Host-Only network adapter between the host system and the game server to log in and play the game.
6. Take some screenshots as proof that your game server works to include in your documentation.
7. You must also add DNS entries for the game server in your DNS server and setup firewall rules on the game server itself to allow for inbound traffic. Make sure you include this information in your documentation. Be sure to provide a NMAP report for your game server to show the open ports as proof that the firewall was configured properly, and that you verified the security footprint of the firewall from an external perspective.
I'm looking for commands used and steps to help complete. I've been working on this for two weeks and have a good start on one of my virtual machines, but could use assistance.
