Gotcha, I mean modifying the A record in the hosted zone we manage for the customer is fine since we already do that

So in other words put the IP that api.campfirehosting.com is pointing to into the A record for the apex domain (
testmcserver.xyz)?81 replies

This is fine for the subdomain use case (e.g.
mysubdomain.testmcserver.xyz pointing to api.campfirehosting.com because we can use CNAME) but this doesn't work for just testmcserver.xyz81 replies

The nameservers shouldn't change though, that's static

Right, just for Minecraft. The only stipulation is because this is a "pay by the minute" host we dynamically update route53 records when the server starts and stops so we can't ask the customer to put dynamic information in on their end (e.g. on the namecheap side)

Ahhh right right, that makes sense. And what about at the route53 level since we can't have an apex CNAME. Does it have to be an A record?

Right, sorry, this is currently setup for the subdomain use case. I'm wondering what would have to be modified to make it work for the root domain (e.g.
testmcserver.xyz)81 replies

Sounds good, thanks. After some adhoc tests this has significantly improved performance

Cool. Paper disabling that by default makes me more confident that data loss is rare except in the case of a crash. I think what we'll do is advise our users to disable that property and install a backup plugin

Trying to diagnose performance issues
For performance reasons, presumably? I've read there are possible issues with data corruption on a crash (makes sense considering this is an async write). But I'm surprised Paper would force this to be false considering that possibility.

Maybe setting the sync-chunk-writes property to false would help improve performance? That way we're asynchronously writing instead of blocking the main thread

Trying to diagnose performance issues
Hi, server host owner here. For some context: NFS is definitely not a good solution for MC but unfortunately its sort of the best we've got considering our setup. We're a "pay by the minute" server host so we dynamically start and stop servers when players are online/offline. We also dynamically add and remove nodes depending on how many servers are online. Because of this there's no guarantee that the assigned node will be mounted to the volume that we store the servers on, therefore we use NFS to mount to the "always online" node that has the servers volume. While there are definitely performance issues its not too bad considering all the nodes are in the same data center, but its issues like this that occasionally prop up.
I guess I'm curious if yall have any suggestions for this particular use case. I'm wondering if there's a way to tell MC to more aggressively write chunks to disk rather than all at once so there's not these massive lag spikes where we're blocking the main thread, but I'm not sure that's possible. For some more context we're using Longhorn with RWX volumes https://longhorn.io/docs/1.6.2/nodes-and-volumes/volumes/rwx-volumes/

Minecraft DNS question
Gotcha. I change the SRV port when the server finishes starting so looks like I'll have to just create one hosted zone per customer, but that's okay. Most would be content with the campfirehosting.com subdomain and if they want the custom domain they can pay an extra $0.50 or so per month.
Anyways thanks for the help here!
