Setting up a temporary server not on the default port

Ok, so I have a velocity/paper setup working as expected - no issues. With tomorrow being April Fools, if its a good joke update, I want to set up a temp server for my players, but as its the April Fools, it has to be a vanilla jar. I know its not possible without more work than its worth to put it behind velocity, but I cant set up the temp server on 25565 BECAUSE thats currently being used by velocity, and all my DNS just points to the dedicated server via A record and then velocity does the rest of the work. So basically the question is - is there a way for me to set up a vanilla server using a proper domain like aprilfools.domain.com and have it point to IP:<port that isnt 25565>, or would I be forced to give players IP:Port to connect to the temporary server?

Luckperms change group name and bulk edit permissions

Just want to make sure I have this right - I want to update "tier1" to "tier1donator" so this would be what I want to do, right? To change the group name then update all associated permissions (command format assumes im running it on the velocity server) /lpv group tier1 rename tier1donator /lpv bulkupdate all update permission group.tier1 "permission == group.tier1donator"

Best way to lock chests on a whole server

Right now I have world downloads from previous seasons of our SMP. We want to make museum worlds, and intend to put everyone in adventure mode. However, this does not stop them from opening up containers. What would be the best way to achieve this, on a server wise scale? I feel like world guard would end up crashing because of how large the server is.

Recommendations for bare metal servers

Ok so right now our server is on Pebblehost dedicated (bare metal). Fairly inexpensive, but on two separate machines now we're having some issues with crashes. Its getting ridiculous. We used to be on interserver, but support was absolute garbage. We're looking at bloom maybe but im looking for suggestions on bare metal hosts. Current specs are 128GB DDR5 RAM | AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU | 1Gbps Network | 2TB NVME Storage for $134.99/mo i think. We have flexibility to pay a little bit more, but should be within reason and we'd like to stay around our current specs or better of course

Issues with Patreon & Ko_Fi bot roles through discord

Paper 1.21.3 Java Ok so, when I sync the discord server with my account to link the server for Ko-Fi and set up the role sync, it seems to assign the roles in discord, but when a player logs in or relogs, it removes the roles. It feels like something in discordsrv or luckperms is taking away the roles and superseding discord, but I can't figure out what.
The only major change was I changed out the custom bot in the developer portal used for discordsrv, as the old bot was from the previous owner and I didnt have any control over it - but I followed the instructions on discordsrv's setup page exactly. and I dont know where else to go with this

Setting up dynmap thru NGINX and getting 502 Bad Gateway

So I followed this: https://docs.phoenixnodes.com/advanced-guides/install-nginx-reverse-proxy-on-ubuntu-18.04-for-dynmap Everything seemed to run but when I try to go to my map link, it passes thru cloudflare without an issue but im getting bad gateway.

Land Claim vs Chest claim plugin - Java Paper 1.21.1

Having a discussion amongst our server's staff and we're looking at land claim vs chest claim plugins - just need some suggestions for vote examples.
Should be straightforward - dont need any wild features, or if it does have extra stuff I should be able to disable it easily.

Ok I know that title is weird just…work with me here lol. 1.20.1 Java server. Is there a command that users can have that would show them all commands they have access to ? Something I suppose that would read off their role group from luckperms and list them what they have and what it does.

getting a villager spawn egg with specific trades

So, 1.19.4 purpur server. I may have accidentally scuffed someone’s villagers (will know after the restart in an hour) and in case I did i basically just wanna kill and replace them. I have OP so I went in creative and held left ctrl and middle click on the villager to try to pick it up with the nbt data like you would a container, but it didn’t work and I just got a normal villager spawn egg. Is there something else I need to do so I can basically copy a current villager into a spawn egg? Note that the way I may have accidentally scuffed it is when I updated this plug-in: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/antivillagerlag.102949/ Some of them are basically stuck with their AI disabled when it shouldn’t be

help with wandering trades plug-in

So when entering custom trades, it obviously allows you to set % chance for certain trades to happen. The issue we’re having is this: For 1.20 we’re wanting to set up where the wandering trader has a chance to trade a smithing template. We want to have different % chances for each template, but it only take up one potential slot, so they would need to be in the same yml file. For example: We want to have 5 armor templates have a higher chance of being on a wandering trader than another 5 templates, but they take up the same slot in the wandering trader. So only 1 armor trim spawns at a time.
