Discussion Pocketmine not supporting CromeOS

I bought a laptop it has CromeOs i spucifile bought to to host a server turns out Pm dosent support CromeOS with adding java sqript to the laptop and its extremly hard add java to CromeOS will you add anything for it?

If we could run PocketMine on Chrome OS, we could run PocketMine from web hosting.

We use PHP, not Java

Not true. ChromeOS can easily run PocketMine. The only issue is that this person assumes PocketMine runs on Java and Javascript somehow.

You are correct. Sorry, for some reason, I thought Chrome OS wasn't Linux.

With some Chromebooks you can run Ubuntu and then through that you can run Pocketmine.

He didn't say he wanted to install another operating system.

Yes you are right, I was just giving him an alternative way.

how do i install it on chromebook os?

You can't. The only way to host a PocketMine server on ChromeOS is to dual-boot Linux using ChrUbuntu or crouton.

So, overall it is not easy to create PocketMine software for ChromeOS.

ok thank you for replying

No, it's very easy as long as you know how to use Linux.

Do you know how to get ifconfig to work? On chromebook. Linux.

It should work the same way as any other Linux distro. Why do you need it?

it says command not found. Also on a different note im having issue when i run server on chromebook it doesnt show up in MCPE. Im not sure what the issue is. I dont get any errors when running the server.

EDIT: Nvm got ifconfig to work. Still need help with server not showing up.

Are you using crouton/dual-boot or are you running the server directly from ChromeOS shell?

The server might not be showing up because you aren't port forwarded. Can you at least connect to the server directly using the IP address?

Im running on crouton and i cant connect using lan ip as thats all i want to do. I dont wanna open it up. Or do i still need to portfoward?

I forgot.. ChromeOS blocks almost all ports even in crouton. Let me look up the commands you need to run to open these ports.
