@roxeteer reported in #2, about bd72db5:

Didn't actually manage to get the latest version to run on a new Ubuntu server at all […]. Downgraded to the previous version that I already had running on a different server, and that worked without a hitch.

This is what the master version status said:

$ minecraftctl status mine2

Hi,

What permissions does the minecraft user need?

I've got the user set up using useradd --system --no-create-home --home /opt/minecraft -g minecraft minecraft yet when executing minecraftctl start {instance name} either with the user minecraft or root I get the following prompt.

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to start 'minecraft@{instance name}.service'.
Authenticating as: root
Password:

To get around this online sources mention the use of a sudoers entry, which I've tried the below as a catch-all for the moment yet it didn't work.

%minecraft ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

The only way I managed to get the script to run without the prompt is by using sudo and removing the below from minecraftctl

if [[ "$(id -un)" != "$MINECRAFT_USER" ]]; then
  sudo -n -u "$MINECRAFT_USER" "$SAFE_SELF" "$@"
  exit
fi

I'm sure I'm missing something,
Thanks in advance.

Linux version 5.4.0-77-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-028) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04))

I can't find any instructions how to exit the server console.
