UPDATES/CORRECTIONS:
- I apologize if you came to this video expecting a computer that was readily available for $50. I wasn’t trying to be misleading, and I’m hoping to get better at making titles and thumbnails.
- The Minecraft server portion of this will probably not run very well on older or low end hardware. I’m currently working on a video to run a much more optimized server on old hardware.
- If you don’t know an available IP address, find the IP of your router and login. From there you can find the DHCP settings. You can probably find your server by name here. If you save or reserve that IP in your router settings, it won’t change.
- It seems like there are some changes to newer versions of Ubuntu Server, so try using the same version I used in the video. I'll try to find time to look into common issues/fixes.
In this one, we're once again taking a look at the HP Pavilion 500-a60, but now we're setting it up as a home server.
