Editing server.properties

[risograph]

Hello! I am wondering how one would go about editing the server.properties in a pod based on a persistent file? This also goes for spigot.yml, ops.json, whitelist.json, and the other player-management JSONs that need to stay persistent. I understand this was planned information for the docs (per discussion #435's 2 and 3), but if someone else has an answer, I'd like to know. Thank you in advance!

For files other then the server.properties you should add patches. A patch is just a tar.gz archive with all the files you want to override (folders included). The patches would get applied to the server's root.

For editing the server.properties, this needs to be done via the YAML that you apply (see example YAML).

apiVersion: shulkermc.io/v1alpha1
kind: MinecraftServerFleet
metadata:
  name: lobby
spec:
  clusterRef:
    name: lobby
  replicas: 1
  template:
    spec:
      clusterRef:
        name: lobby
      tags:
        - lobby
      version:
        channel: Paper
        name: '1.20.2'
      config:
        serverProperties: # <- all the settings you put inside the `serverProperties` key will be passed to the actual `server.properties` file
          difficulty: peaceful # <- example: setting the default difficulty to peaceful.
          enable-command-block: true

You do need to recreate you pods for the changes to take affect.

If you want to know more available YAML values then you can check https://github.com/jeremylvln/Shulker/blob/main/packages/shulker-crds/src/v1alpha1/minecraft_server.rs.

Important

Shulker may override some of the settings inside serverProperties, I'm not sure which but I assume settings like the port or online-mode will be overridden.
