I am felt up with my Game Service shared provider’s billing policies and I seriously trying to consider all options/help i might be able to get. Including trying to just rent a suitable VPS instead…

Does anybody know anything else that might help me runs Minetest gaming servers? Or anybody here who might be able help me sort this out?

Thanks you very much in advance!

    If you usually make the same changes, or edit the same files, you can automate the deployment with Ansible. Then the steps are basically:

    1. edit file locally (with graphical editor or whatever you want)
    2. commit to git (optional)
    3. run ansible-playbook your-playbook.yml

    You can also write a playbook to start/stop the service (and even add a desktop shortcut to execute that).

    How Ansible works

      Indeed, still when I need to edit that one mod or whatever it can be complicated as is already to set this up. Thanks for sharing this interesting approach though.
