A brief overview of BZFS with links to more in depth guides and tutorials elsewhere.

BZFS Use Cases:

BZFS use cases tend to fall into one of the following:

Type Description
localhost Most commonly used for map or plugin testing, or taking screenshots or previews of a world.
LAN Frequently done with the -passwd option or by setting up a private list server.
Private Usually done via the -advertise option to VERIFIED to keep servers hidden from unauthenticated players or via NONE keeps it unlisted for all players.(Servers can be made visibile to specific groups however.)
Public The standard servers made visibile to regular players. (Specific requirements can be made for players however.)

Generally, the permissions and categories used for them increase as the server moves to from LocalHost to Public on the category.

LocalHost:

It is generally recommended to either use the -g option or -passwd option when running servers as localhost. This is because the -g option will cause the server to shutdown when all players leave, while the -passwd option permits using /password with the associated password set and either running the /shutdownserver command or running /superkill in combination with -g being enabled as an option (which would cause the same effect).
