docker-minecraft-server

If you want to selfhost and use docker for Java edition, this is the easiest way: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server There’s also a version for bedrock (the version that’s supported on mobile devices).

Looks nice! I have a comprehensive docker compose file with itzg’s image [0] repeated a dozen times. [0] https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

Currently I have a hybrid setup, where stuff that needs more compute or storage (which are cheaper if you buy hardware) runs locally in my homelab, whereas the things that need better uptime or more bandwidth are available in rented VPSes. I've actually played around with what is hosted where, depending on what I need: for example, uptime monitoring currently runs locally, checking whether I can reach the remote sites from my residential connection. LOCALLY (in my homelab) - Startpage, with Heimdall: https://heimdall.site/ - Backups, with BackupPPC: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/ - Twitch stream and YouTube video backups, with PeerTube: https://joinpeertube.org/ - File sharing for larger files, with Nextcloud: https://nextcloud.com/ - Chat solution, with Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/ - Project management, with OpenProject: htt

I manage most of these as Docker containers (with Swarm, though K3s is great too), so thankfully handling data backups and resource limits is pretty easy. Currently, I use Apache as the reverse proxy in front of all of these (lots of modules for a variety of features, as well as Let's Encrypt integration with mod_md). So far it seems to work decently, isn't too expensive, helps me avoid e-waste (homelab nodes run 200 GE CPUs with 35 W TDP), although updates are always a pain. The blog has more information about some of these pieces of software, in case anyone is interested: https://blog.kronis.dev/ For example, previously I ran GitLab, but Gitea + Drone + Nexus proved to be a better solution for my needs and workloads.

You can host Bedrock servers, in fact, it is a single argument in my docker-compose.yaml to flip between a Java or a Bedrock server [0]. Not sure about the plug-in situation. [0]: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

I only ever saw my son make his own worlds locally and we play together on my own server [0], where I have 2 worlds currently. Sometimes Bedrock friends join, I installed GeyserMC for that (as you also mentioned) [1]. It was indeed a great pain to get the girls from next door to join with their Android tablets, it required multiple back and forths between me and their father... So that was why. To be honest it does annoy me that they had to give up so many private details to get the benefits of this "outsourced protection". Well, my philosophy is to be there, check in on them, educate them about dangerous stuff but also to let them explore. I'll handle more difficult stuff through AdGuard when the time comes. The kid knows not to do weird things on their own. I regularly explain to them that the internet is like a jungle. Don't just wande

r off without me and my digital machete by your side, I tell them ;) [0] https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server [1] https://geysermc.org/

+1 for Paper, also works well with GeyserMC [0] so your Bedrock friends can join. BTW, the GeyserMC community is really great, top notch support via Discord with a fancy integrated bot and automated builds that you can just drop into you plugins folder. I use this Docker image with Docker-compose: [1] [0] https://geysermc.org/ [1] https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
