Getting started
Fargolia Panel runs a Minecraft server. It can create one on this computer, or take control of a server that already runs somewhere else — on the machine in the next room, or on a rented VPS.
The sections of the program are the same either way. They follow whichever server is chosen at the top of the window, so there is no separate place for "everything about the remote one": pick it above, and every section shows its core, its players, its backups.
Two ways to begin
| Create server | a new server on this computer, world and all |
| Attach folder | a server that is already on this computer |
| Remote server | a server on another machine, over RCON and SSH |
The first two are described in A server on this computer, the third in A server on another machine.
The sections
| Section | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Overview | processor, memory, players and the latest events |
| Install and run | core, version, memory, Java options, start and stop |
| Remote server | the connection to a server on another machine |
| Console | everything the server says, and a line to answer it |
| Players | who is in the game and what can be done about them |
| World and rules | time, weather, difficulty and the game rules |
| Server settings | server.properties in plain fields and as a table |
| Backups | copies of the world, by hand or on a schedule |
Overview
Overview is the screen you leave open. It shows the processor and memory the server is using — Normal, High or Overloaded, with the peak since start — how many people are in the game, and Latest events: what has happened recently, without reading the console.
The status line above says what the server is doing right now: Ready to start, Starting, Server running with how long it has been up, Stopping or Stopped. For a server on another machine it says Remote server and whether the connection is up.
When nothing is running the panel says so plainly — the server is not running, nobody is in the game — rather than showing zeros that look like measurements.
Next
If the server is to live on this computer, go to A server on this computer. If it already runs elsewhere and you were given SSH access to it, go to A server on another machine.
