Getting Started
You can download the Lodestone client from our release page.
We also have a webapp for remote access.
For any troubleshooting, see our wiki.
For developers, check out the Setup guide for developers.
After opening Lodestone, click on Setup Lodestone Core.
Select an existing core; press continue and complete the signup/login procedures.
In the dashboard, click on New instance.
Pick the instance you would like to use.
Complete the configurations for the server.
Congratulations, you have created your first server!
In your dashboard, click the server you would like to start
Click the power button beside the server name on the left panel, and press Start.
Congratulations, you have started your server!
First make sure docker is installed. If it's not you can check here if your os is supported and how to install it.
Open your preferred terminal and run the following command:
docker run -d --name lodestone --restart unless-stopped -p 16662:16662 -v lodestone:/home/user/.lodestone ghcr.io/lodestone-team/lodestone_coreThis will download the lodestone image, expose port 16662 on your system and create and use a volume so lodestone can store its data like instances.
You will probably also want to open port 25565 for minecraft, This can be done by adding -p 25565:25565 to the command.
If you did that it should look something like this:
docker run -d --name lodestone --restart unless-stopped -p 16662:16662 -p 25565:25565 -v lodestone:/home/user/.lodestone ghcr.io/lodestone-team/lodestone_coreNow you can run docker logs lodestone to access the logs and get your setup key. This will be important later.
It should be noted that when doing this on a linux system you will need to run all docker commands with sudo. This is done by just typing sudo before the command.
Go to https://lodestone.cc, Click on connect a new core and enter localhost in the Ip address input.
Get the local ip of that system. If this is a windows system you can run ipconfig in a terminal and look for something that starts with 192.
If its a linux system you can run ifconfig in a terminal and look for something that starts with 192.
Then go to https://lodestone.cc, Click on connect a new core and enter the ip you got from the command in the Ip address input.
Get the public ip of the system. If you are renting a server this is probably somewhere on the dashboard.
If you cannot find it you can run curl ifconfig.me in the terminal (does not matter what os you are running) and get the ip from there.
Then go to https://lodestone.cc, Click on connect a new core and enter the ip you got from the command in the Ip address input.
Then enter your username, setup key you got from the logs, and a password.
Make sure not to use autofill since it sees the setup key input as a password input.
When saving your credentials, check the password it says it's saving. It will most likely be your setup key and not your password.
