This project was created as a way for me and a few friends to play Minecraft with one another without having to pay a monthly subscription to a hosting service. The project utilizes one of Oracle's free-tier cloud VM instances running Ubuntu 20.0.4 to host a Minecraft server along with a small Nginx site for the Pterodactyl Pane, an open-source hosting solution for games like Minecraft, Rust, and CS:GO.
