Re: Auto start Minetest server with Ubuntu
I think you can create a shell script or .desktop file, that you put in /etc/xdg/autostart. This is for a desktop system.
Maybe editing the init script (/etc/rc.local) will work, try at your own risk.

This should do what you want. I never tested it but as long as you point to the right place for minetest it should work.

Re: Auto start Minetest server with Ubuntu
Personally i really like to use cron for that.
Just add the line
It works on desktop and server and the great thing is that cron is per user. And you don't mess with rc.local.

Just add the line
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
@reboot minetestserver
