Can't login to Oracle MC server all of a sudden
This is a server I've used extensively before. I've been testing modded mc servers on this for a few days now, but like a day ago the server cannot be connected to. I get a getsockopt error in MC. I've tried deleting everything and reconfiguring a clean vanilla server on the SSH Oracle server. The ports say they're open, the server starts fine there's no error in the terminal. but the same IP i used before does not work. I'm not using Pterodactyl or a UI, just straight SSH into the server since I lost my auth keys after resetting my phone.
Has this happened to anyone, any fixes?

Oci firewall must be fucking with you
Go into the security groups and fix it up
If there's no issue, oracle just hates you in particular. They've done this to me dozens of times over the years I've been using them
is there a way for me to check it from the ssh server itself. thing is i no longer have access to the oci because as i said i reset my phone and lost the auth keys. i do have the server ssh keys though
Somehow I think the issue is with your OS firewall though
You cannot.
ight. ok so i have another server. and the problem with that is that it just randomly dces or times out. like the terminal stops responding and winsco loses connected. this is usually after i start the server or maybe it's just me noticing it then. I know it doesn't shit down because the uptime says it's been on for like 100 days yet i lose ssh and winsco connections and ofc the Minecraft server stops working
oh yeah that happens to me occasionally just kill it π
tried that multiple times doesn't work
Disable the vcn firewall on port 22 (permit all) and use oracle virt console
Iβve accidentally locked myself out of ssh access in iptables once, thatβs how I fixed it
Oracleβs virt console server can connect to the VPS for you and you can run commands in there
Once connected I suggest going straight for the firewall and make sure itβs not doing anything funny, as itβs kinda a process to use virtual console
does it disable automatically or through the terminal? because it has been working fine before. only recent stopped working
dude, if you wanna use a server just for testing i can help you out?
I got a windows vps i'm not really using rn
ill let you use it for free, but cant guarantee any rescources
as in, if i need system resources, they will be prioritized to me
but thats about it
I can set you up with your own user account so you can RDP into it and everything
@shingshing
just lemme know if your interested
It should just bring you to a standard ssh shell
Where you can log in with their virtual console (like an ssh server) with our own key to the vps
Then you need to run the regular commands to disable ufw or iptables, whichever you are using
Remember to disable all SSH rules in VCN to permit all traffic
by testing i mean i wasnt ot test modpacks to see if i can play them. i wanna play a few modpacks with friends, just frustrating both the servers i have, have completely different problem that i cannot understand
hm well as i said i dont have access to the oci so i just ssh into the server from my ubunut vm
yeah i can provide that still np
ill see if i can solve this, ill let you know ty
just weird because my brother and i ahve been runnigna server ont hsi for ages without any downtime
tbh i dont mind letting you run a small private server on my vps for free
so long as you keep player count to 10 or lower i got zero problems with that
I'll cap you at 8-12gb (depending on availability) of ram but thats really the only restriction
@shingshing you wanna start transfering over?
thatd be awesome. ive been using an aternos server for the past couple of days. were only gonna be like 3-6 players so prolly wotn need more than 6 gigs. I dont wanna get into modpacks becasue i have no experience running em.
lemme fidn the world files
aight, i'll start you off at 6 but i'll monitor your ram usage the next few days and bump you up to 8 if you need it.
however i would prefer if you used either paperMC or fabric so you dont hog too much of my cpu.
Good with you?
yeah im cool with fabric 1.16.5, that fine?
Sure
you want a new world or nah?
can i send u a world zip
yeah sure
just give me everything
if you can
i just downloaded the world.zip from aternos
i can upload it to file.io
sure
dm it to me
oki
yall can ignore this thread now, i'm hosting shingsing on my vps
yikes...?
not a big issue, i got 4 ip's.
i mostly did this as a proof of concept for myself since im still new to server hosting in general
windows vps? π
it's not that bad actually
sure it has it's quirks but i learn from said quirks
i've learned more about windows in the past few days than i have in the past few months doing this.
Even Microsoft switched from windows server to linux π
Personally, I wouldn't use something that even their creators swithed from.
:pray: please don't put your server on random people vps
1 they have access to your files
2 they are random people
it just screams sketch
yea give ME all ur files instead
π₯Ί
Ok second
thank you β€οΈ
Remember to install rootkit and back door
Low-key I might report this user to a staff member it seems too sketchy he just tells everyone to move their files on his shady vps
Dew it
well, he did. I aint in trouble though since i proved i'm doing it with good intentions.
Doesn't change the fact, you should not share your files to random in their vps.
yeah in hindsight i can see the issue.
So please stop trying to get people's files.
I was just trying to be nice was all
but yeah i do see the issue and i wont be offering free hosting anymore.
i wasnt after their files, i was more so after the experiance of setting up various kinds of servers.
