Welcome to my series called "Running Minecraft in Production". The goal of this series is to teach people how to run an application, such as Minecraft, similar to the way applications would run in a production environment.
This series will have you installing Minecraft on and learning Docker and Docker Compose, Prometheus, Grafana, Promtail, Loki, and more.
This video is all about deploying a metrics gathering application called Prometheus to gather our minecraft server's metrics and then deploying an application called Grafana to query those metrics. We will setup a dashboard to show us information about our server. We will also configure alerting to send a discord message when minecraft goes down.
