# One-time setup for the LAN party's dedicated box: installs a Forge 1.20.1
# Minecraft server, wraps it in lazymc (auto-sleep when empty / auto-wake on
# connect), and serves the client install scripts + modpack.zip over HTTP —
# all as systemd services so the box can run unattended for the 3 days.
#
# Target: a Linux machine (Debian/Ubuntu/etc with systemd) at the venue.
# Run as a normal user with sudo rights: ./setup-server.sh
