Adding A Web GUI to Minecraft Server?
Just recently set up a Minecraft Java server for some friends and I to play remotely.
It's been difficult to operate the server without being able to configure ops. Even when going in and editing the ops.json file with WinSCP has provided zero results.
This won't even work when trying to change the game mode through the server.properties file. No adjustments I'm making work!
I believe this probably has to do with whether or not I have accessed this server with the root account? Even then, I would much rather install a user interface that I can access without using Putty or WinSCP. Is this possible with Linode servers?
What interface do people use? Any recommendations?

The solution provided in this other Community Site post may be helpful:
tldr;
./mcbserver console
op $username

If the files you mention require super-user privileges to edit, then a web interface (running in a web server which, typically, does not have super-user privileges…for security reasons) is not going to help you.

It's possible…if such a beast exists… However, you're still back to my first point.

Logging in with the root user doesn't change the outcome.
I'm not really sure how else I can directly edit the server through its console.
