Minecraft Overviewer

[Thorin]

I miss the Overviewer   Do you need to upgrade the VM to be able to run Overviewer on it as well?  If so, how much would it cost you?  I'm willing to pitch in for it.

I think the issue is that the most current overviewer no longer supports 1.5 so Tom wants to upgrade the server first then Overviewer if I understand correctly.

[Tom]

I'll probably stick with the current overviewer if I get time/drive to get it back up and running. I have my doubts as to how well it'll run on the current vm along side minecraft itself. I'll try it, but I have my suspicions that I'll have to rig something up locally to run overviewer here, and sync it back up.

[Thorin]

Well all I'm saying is don't be afraid to get a bigger, better, faster VM if you need it. Given how much time I spend on the server, I'm happy to throw ten or twenty bucks a month your way to cover costs.

[Tom]

I don't know that that is the best solution. Its mainly a cpu issue, and overviewer performs best with more cores. I have my quadcore here that can work on it, and a "new" dual quad 2u box I picked up for $200 that could probably more than half the time. All it'll add doing it locally is a couple rsync jobs.

Cloud->local-backup->generate static Overviewer tiles->upload to host.

Is the plan unlimited bandwidth?

As unlimited as it gets. 2TB/mo for the vm on a GbE connection. my home connection gets me 500GB/mo+.

The mc map itself is pretty small per change. the overviewer tiles are quite a bit larger. shouldn't be a huge issue though.

[Tom]

Overviewer is back up.

Interesting note, the overviewer dir is 9GB in size. took 4 hours to upload the initial map. crazy.

HOORAY

Here's our new place: http://mc.tomasu.org/#/4501/64/5/max/0/0

And someone's been busy

Maaaaaybe

So does the overviewer update regularly again?  What's the length of the update cycle, ie how long do I have to wait before advertising a new build?

I suspect Tom is doing it manually right now.  He has to pull the latest map down from the cloud and run overviewer on it

[Tom]

It should be auto updating every couple hours.

I just tweaked (half rewrote) the existing cron job.

Thanks man!

It still doesn't appear to be updating.
