Server install script fails due to Java download requiring license

[MIchaelMainer]

Just in case it is useful to anyone else, here are the steps I've taken towards getting MineCraft installed using the install_minecraft.sh.

1. Connected to the Ubuntu VM via the Connect instructions in the Azure portal.
2. Got the download URL by accepting the license from the download page.
3. Followed these instructions to setup Java
   https://www.tecmint.com/install-java-jdk-jre-in-linux/
4. Made a Gist of install_minecraft.sh and commented out the part for getting Java.
5. Added my configuration to the script variables $1 through $9. I'm doing this all wrong. Ignorign for now.
6. chmod 0755 on my script
7. ran the script, there's many things wrong.
8. sudo mkdir minecraft-server since that dir didn't exist. Ran it again.

I'm now getting a bad substitution at rawUUID=${mojang_output:7:32}. Will try this more later.

Hi MIchaelMainer, I am having the same issue. Did you ever manage to get Minecraft successfully installed?

[MIchaelMainer]

Hi @pwilliamson . No, I never got back to this. And then I got lazy and bought a Realms subscription. I probably won't get back to this until my kids' modding demands reach a fever pitch.

OK, pity, thanks for the response

seems it's still not working. all the resources are created on the azure side, VM is reachable, but minecraft server is not installed. it ends up with "deployment status unknown" in the azure portal and "unit minecraft-server.service not found" when logging into VM.

Hi guys, very sorry I didn't notice there were issues open until now. The Azure Marketplace Minecraft template is currently working fine in my tests. I realize you've probably moved on to other things by now, but if anyone gets the chance, please give it a try. Thanks!

After a few more test deployments this appears to be fixed. Closing for now. Note: For a future release I want to shift this into containers as a pre-installed package to avoid problems like Java installation errors.

Thank you for the follow up @gbowerman. I actually tried to deploy over a month ago and was unsuccessful. From activity log:

If I recall correctly, there was a script that never completed and I think something timed out. I think I also needed to change the target plan since the plan identifiers have changed. I might need to try this out tonight and capture the entire repro step by step, image by image and post it here.
