Run services as separate users at the same time - Ubuntu Server - Minecraft/OpenVPN : <p>I'm running an OpenVPN server on Ubuntu Server as user <code>fredrik</code>. I want to install a Minecraft server on the same machine and according to this tutorial:
<a href="https://www.linode.com/docs/game-servers/how-to-set-up-minecraft-server-on-ubuntu-or-debian/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How to set up Minecraft Server</a>,
I need to create a user called <code>minecraft</code>.</p>

<p>I would presume that this is not necessary and that I can run the Minecraft server as <code>fredrik</code>, but, it might be nice to have those separated into two accounts? </p>

<p><strong>I wanted to check if I can, in fact, run a Minecraft server and an OpenVPN server on the same machine? And if I can/need/should create a second user?</strong></p>

<p>Thank you for your input! </p>
