    You've probably heard of the Raspberry Pi, the $25 computer that has take the Electronics/Programming world by storm. While you can make a Raspberry Pi Bitcoin miner, you can also make a Raspberry Pi Bukkit Server. While this has been done before, but I have found that many guides are not very helpful, and do not describe how to set up the server. This guide assumes you have a Model B Raspberry Pi, ample space for the server(8GB SD card recommended), and that you have a server premade. If you don't have a Pi, now's the time to get one!

    You must install the JRE(Java Runtime Environment), or else Bukkit will not work.
    Open up LXTerminal, and type in:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
    Then press enter. It will install automatically.

    Then, make a .sh file that says:
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
    cd "$BINDIR"
    java -Xmx256M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
    Open up LXTerminal again, and type in
    Code:
    sudo chmod +x
    But after the +x, put your directory of your start.sh. Ex.
    Code:
    sudo chmod +x /media/SANDISK/Server/start.sh
    (You can see that I'm running the server off a flash drive)

    Lastly, type in yourstart.sh/file/directoryhere/start.sh, and press enter, and enjoy your new Raspberry Pi Minecraft Server.

    This little server can hold about 5 people, with no lag(After 5, it starts to get a little laggy/crashy)!

    Did I miss anything? Catch a mistake? Post in the thread below!

    EDIT: Pictures coming soon!
