Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a preconfigured software image running on Ubuntu 26.04, hardened by Hanwei. Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type, so you pick the compute size that fits your workload. Pricing scales with the instance you choose: options range from small burstable and general-purpose types to large memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage-heavy, GPU, and bare-metal machines. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators cost more per hour. You only pay for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment or fixed term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a preconfigured software image running on Ubuntu 26.04, hardened by Hanwei, deployed on the EC2 instance type you select. The image bundles the libraries, databases, and runtimes needed to run. The instance name sets the CPU, memory, storage, and any GPU or accelerator resources you receive.
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. However, underlying AWS resources such as attached storage may still bill separately while the instance is stopped. Restarting the instance resumes hourly software charges automatically.
Each instance type carries its own hourly rate. Switching to a type with more CPU, memory, storage, or accelerators raises your per-hour cost. There is no tier that spans instances, so the rate changes fully to the new type's rate. You pay only for the hours each instance runs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
SSH to the instance and login as the default user 'ubuntu' using the key specified at launch.
Luanti (Minetest) server is pre-installed via Flatpak under the root environment. Since it does not run as a background system service by default, follow these steps to switch to root, launch it manually, check logs, and manage saves:
Switch to Root User: Before running any game commands, switch to the root environment: sudo su
Launch the Server in the Background: Execute the following command to start the server safely. This ensures the game environment runs silently in the background even after you disconnect your SSH session: nohup flatpak run org.luanti.luanti --server --gameid minetest_game > /root/luanti_server.log 2>&1 & (After running, a process ID will appear on your screen. Press 'Enter' to return to your standard terminal prompt).
Verify and Check Server Logs: To monitor real-time server connections, player chats, or check for runtime bugs, view the active log file: tail -f /root/luanti_server.log Tip: To exit the log viewer safely without affecting the running game server, simply press 'Ctrl + C'.
Locate Game Worlds and Saves (Critical): Your default game save files, maps, and world configurations are strictly isolated under the root Flatpak data directory. You can locate them here: cd /root/.var/app/org.luanti.luanti/.minetest/worlds/world/
Safely Shut Down the Server: When performing server maintenance or safely saving game progress before an instance reboot, execute this command to stop the background process gracefully: pkill -f org.luanti.luanti
Note: By default, the Luanti game server listens on UDP port 30000. Ensure this port is correctly opened in your AWS Security Group.
