Questions regarding setting up a GGServers private server
Hey there. I'm very much a beginner with this stuff and I'm not looking to set up some complicated server with tons of people, just a thing for me and my friends to play a forge modpack. We're looking to use GGServer to host since we don't wanna deal with the turning on and off the server on my machine any time anyone wants to play. The modpack we're looking at is Minecraft Unlimited, seems like a fun vanilla+ option. I have a few questions:
1. What package should I be grabbing? There's only really gonna be like 6 of us on the server max with it probably mostly being 3 at any one time but I know this is a heavier modpack so I was looking at the gold option (4096 MB of RAM). Any reason why we might want to go higher/lower?
2. When it gives options for modpacks, the one we want isn't under the CurseForge umbrella since it's new. I can install it with the file system no sweat probably but what "modpack" should I choose? I believe Forge: 1.19.2 is the one I want since that's listed as the game version of the modpack in CurseForge.
3. How should we go about implementing limited player resting (ie. only like 25% or 50% on the server need to sleep to pass the night) and auto shutting down the server and auto turning it on when everyone has disconnected/someone reconnects?
4. I'm pretty sure I can find a guide about how to install the modpack on the server myself but if anyone wants to help ahead of time with that (if you're familiar with GGServer) then that'd be appreciated.

1. If it's just a vanilla+ modpack 4096 should be fine. But please tell me what you're payibg for it; you might be getting ripped off
2. Yes, choose forge 1.19.2.
3. Not a big deal imo. Just make the playerSleepingPercentage whatever you want. The server should be on 24/7 if you're paying for hosting.
4. I'm willing to help. But it's possible you've picked a bad server host. Again, please tell me what you're paying so I can tell you if it's good/bad
