Currently, if I need to add plugins, I have to stop the server, pull down the latest backup, modify it, and then upload it again, manually updating the flag to point to the latest backup.

Instead, build code to check for a key called "patch.zip", which will download a zip file containing just the differences and apply them to the server before launch.

Currently AWS credentials must be passed to the backup script via environment variable. However, when hosting a server on ECS, the backup script should be able to take advantage of IAM Roles for Tasks

Allow remote execution of admin server commands using siegebot-client and a custom built plugin.

Server admins should be able to provide a Discord bot access token, along with a whitelist of users, channels, and roles that are allowed to send commands to the sever via Discord.

Optionally, admin should be able to specify a channel for logs from the Minecraft server and the scripts to be echoed to.

Here is an article on administrating Minecraft servers using SMS that can be adapted for this purpose.

Currently, the Discord bot grabs logs from the Minecraft server and outputs them, 2000 characters at a time every 5 seconds, to a Discord channel.

Logs come in faster than 2000 characters every 5 seconds, especially during startup, so the discord.js script holds them in a string that is appended to when new logs arrive, and the oldest 2000 characters of this are chopped off and sent to Discord.

let logCache = "";

function appendLogs(logData) {
   logCache += logData.toString();
}

...

setInterval(() => {
   var newLogs = logCache.substring(0, 2000);
   logCache = logCache.substr(2000);

   if (newLogs) {
       outputChannel.send(newLogs);
   }
}, 5000);

However, strings are immutable in Javascript, and so all of this appending and chopping is actually kind of a nightmare memory-wise. Should use something like stream-buffers instead.

Tag the S3 Uploads so that they can be lifecycled properly, and allow them to be made more frequently. Uploads should be marked as:
Quarterhourly
Hourly
Daily
Weekly
Monthly

This will allow for lifecycle rules to be set accordingly to delete the items on a reasonable schedule to lower costs.

Currently the backup script only backs up to us-west-2. Should allow user to specify.
