12:00 - COMPLETE EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS VIDEO DOESRunning a server all the time? Well, you can keep it completely off, and when a player attempts to connect to the server it will startup. After some time passes with no players on the server, it shuts down, waiting for the next player to connect. This way you can always “keep a server running”, but only have it use RAM/CPU when there are players online. The rest of the time it’s in a ’low power’ mode, waiting for someone to connect.
This video explains the entire process from start to finish.
