minecproxy Developer David Härdeman minecproxy.conf 5 minecproxy.conf Basic settings for minecproxy minecproxy.conf minecproxy.conf provides the ability to control some basics of minecproxy. The file is expected to be in the main configuration directory of minecproxy (see minecproxy1) and uses a plain text ini-style format simlar to what systemd uses. The file has a single section titled [MinecProxy], and comments can be prefixed with #. The defaults should be fine for the majority of users, meaning that no further configuration is necessary and this file can be omitted. The following options are understood: IGMP= Instead of constanly announcing the configured Minecraft servers, listen to the multicase messages sent by Minecraft clients when they are looking for servers (i.e. joining a certain multicast group) and only then start sending announce messages on the local network. This cuts down on the network traffic (this feature should be considered experimental). IGMPIface= The name of the network interface (e.g. eth0 to use when listening for IGMP messages (default: all). AnnounceIntervalSec= The number of seconds to wait between sending successive announce messages on the local network. ProxyConnectionIntervalSec= The number of seconds to wait between performing connection attempts when a client is connecting to a proxy type server (see minecproxy.mcserver5 for a discussion of server types). Mostly useful when minecproxy is in the process of starting up a server. ProxyConnectionAttempts= How many connection attempts to perform (with a wait of ProxyConnectionIntervalSec= seconds in between each attempt) before giving up. SocketDefer= Takes a boolean argument specifying whether to set the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT option on proxy sockets. Said option allows minecproxy to defer accepting connections until the client starts sending data, which conserves resources (see tcp7 for further details). SocketFreebind= Takes a boolean argument specifying whether to set the IP_FREEBIND option on proxy sockets. Said option allows minecproxy to listen to addresses which are not configured at the time minecproxy is started, which allows minecproxy to be started before the network has been configured, at the cost of not being able to catch incorrectly defined addresses (see ip7 for further details). SocketKeepalive= Takes a boolean argument specifying whether to set the SO_KEEPALIVE option on proxy sockets. Said option allows minecproxy to detect dead clients earlier, which might conserve resources (see tcp7 for further details). SocketIPTOS= Takes a boolean argument specifying whether to set the IPTOS_LOWDELAY option on proxy sockets. Said option informs the kernel that delays should be minimized, as the Minecraft traffic is interactive (see ip7 for further details). SocketNoDelay= Takes a boolean argument specifying whether to set the TCP_NODELAY option on proxy sockets. Said option allows packets to be forwarded as soon as possible, which should benefit interactive traffic, such as Minecraft connections (see tcp7 for further details). minecproxy1, minecctl1, minecproxy.mcserver5
