Self-hosting minecraft (downonthestreet.eu)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hi! I want to selfhost a minecraft server for my kid and hjs friends. I havent played minecraft in quite a few years ...

Where do I start to self host one?

I am already seflhosting lost of stuff from 'Arrs to Jellyfin and Immich and more, so I am not asking on how to do it technically, but where to look for and what to host for a proper Minecraft server!

Edit: choosed to setup this https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and so far, super smooth and easy peasy!

Easy way to avoid this: choose a different port. I think it's a safe bet the crawlers are just checking 25565. I've had a server up for months with zero issues.

It isn't on the default port either, it's on a random high number port which is why I thought it was extra odd they found it.

Huh, that is funky. Fingers crossed mine survives. I think I'll go and set up some backups, now that I think about it.

I've had a server up for almost 9 years never had any randoms even join. Don't think I've ever used the default port tho
