SkyNet

Network

• SkyNet is a system that combines multiple Minecraft servers into a unified network using an application called Bungeecord. Bungeecord acts as a bridge, connecting the servers and making them behave as a single entity.
• To function properly, each server connected to Bungeecord requires specific configuration. SkyNet simplifies this process by automatically configuring Bungeecord on the fly using Redis, a pub/sub messaging channel. This eliminates the need for manual configuration of each individual server.
• The entire SkyNet system is run within Docker containers, which provides the advantage of easy scalability. By containerizing different services

WARNING

• Before deploying make sure to change passwords in docker-compose.yml

TODO

• Make it work with docker swarm / kubernetes to make it scalable across machines easily
• Make it be moddable with some sort of plugin system so it can be released as a general solution to minigame based minecraft servers or other applications where you need multiple minecraft servers.
• Automatic scaling based on load - Not entierly sure how this would be implemented, highly configureable or moddable while still being simple this is not trivial.
