[Tutorial] How To Setup Your Free Amazon Server

#1
Special thanks to Sless, Asy7um, Paxil, and Amazon.

Intro: Amazon has a free tier usage that you can use to host your small, but very own Xonotic server. I'm not very tech savvy, but I still managed to get 3 servers running so it shouldn't be too hard for you too!

Let's get started:

1) Sign up & follow instructions.
2) Once your done go to aws.amazon.com and login if you already haven't.
3) Then go to your AWS Management Console.
4) Click on the Amazon EC2 Tab.
5) Select your desired region.
6) Now click "Launch Instance".
7) Fill in the blanks! Make sure you select "More Amazon Images" since it isn't chosen by default.
8) Download Your Keypair.
9) Click "Continue".
10) Filter for Debian and 64-bit (I Heart Debian).
11) Depending on the region you will have various images that you can choose from. I personally chose "debian-squeeze-amd64-ebs-beta2.img". You can pretty much pick whatever you want.
12) Now initialize your image!
13) Box will disappear and you should see something like this.
14) Except in your case the status will say Initializing and Status Checks will still be running.
15) Wait until it's finished/green like mine.
16) Then right click your instance and press connect.
17) Make sure you select "Connect with a standalone SSH Client".
18) Fire up your terminal and change to the directory where your keypair was saved to.
19)
Code:
chmod 400 your keypair
20) Then copy and paste that ssh command into your command line.
21) It'll say some error message blah blah type "yes"
22) Boom your in.
23) Now do the following:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install vim p7zip-full wajig
24) Once your done installing do:
Code:
wget http://dl.xonotic.org/xonotic-0.6.0.zip
25) Afk until it's done downloading.
26) Now do:
Code:
7z x xonotic-0.6.0.zip
27) Once it's done extracting do:
Code:
cd Xonotic/server
mv server.cfg ../data
mv server_linux.sh ../
cd ..
28) Now you want to edit your server.cfg with vim (Keep in mind, it's a free server! So you may want to host a duel server with 3-4 slots like I did just to be safe.):
Code:
vim data/server.cfg
29) Once your done configuring you wanna open your ports. Follow my sample.
30) Now make sure your instance is using this security group.
31) Now launch your server with:
Code:
./server_linux.sh &
32) If everything was successful it should appear on Xonotic's Server List.
33) To see your server usage stats or fees (there should be none), you can find it in your "Account Activity" located in the drop down menu in the top right corner. (I'm getting lazy to post screenshots).

Enjoy!
