As it says, you need to accept the Eula, edit the /srv/papermc/eula.txt file and set eula=true (if you accept of course) run papermc start again.

I ran into the following problem when started the server again.

[15:00:44 WARN]: **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
[15:00:44 WARN]: The exception was: io.netty.channel.unix.Errors$NativeIoException: bind(..) failed: Address already in use
[15:00:44 WARN]: Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
[15:00:44 ERROR]: Encountered an unexpected exception

Got this error, this is because I had another Minecraft server running on the same port. So the guess from papermc was correct.

To install Geysermc i followed the wiki. To get it working you shall download the Geysermc to the plugins-directory of the papermc server. Get the download from the build-server. I downloaded it using wget by browsing to the local server folder of the papermc server, and downloaded Geysermc directly into the plugins folder.

In /srv/papermc/plugins run wget https://ci.opencollab.dev/job/GeyserMC/job/Geyser/job/master/1227/artifact/bootstrap/spigot/build/libs/Geyser-Spigot.jar

Floodgate is needed so that Bedrock users can join without an Java Minecraft edition, Floodgate should also be downloaded to the plugins-directory In /srv/papermc/pluginsrun wget https://ci.opencollab.dev/job/GeyserMC/job/Floodgate/job/master/73/artifact/spigot/build/libs/floodgate-spigot.jar

restart the server with papermc restartAnd you are done.

Tested it, two players with IPad and one with java-edition could join and cross play.
