Hello maybe I am the only one witht his problem but my console does not update when a player types something in the chat. The console on the web gui only updates when I type a command in it. So when a player types in game “Hello world”, It does not show up in the console until I execute a command in the console.
Is there maybe a setting like “Console-update:false” that I need to set to true.
Due to technical limitations of the webserver that drives the MineOS scripts (Python Cherrypy webserver), auto-updating is not available.
Sending a command will update the page, as will clicking on the ‘console’ button on the left (which is preferred over the refresh button of the browser).
The web-ui–by design–is restricted to asynchronous polling, which makes making a live-updating console impractical. If you’re interested in live consoles, consider connecting via PuTTy to your gameserver’s screen, which is live and interactive.
To connect to your running server, with your non-root user (such as mc):
$ script /dev/null
Script started, file is /dev/null
$ cd /usr/games/minecraft/
$ ./mineos_console.py -s zing console
replace zing with the name of your running server. You’ll drop right into the command-line based console that the minecraft server jar offers.
Please note, you’re in what’s called a screen instance/virtual terminal. As such, you may want to brush up on dealing with screen and navigating your way around virtual terminals.
