Awesome thank you!

I’ve been wanting to start ansible, maybe this will push me over the edge

Chunky is amazing. I do have a good bit of free space on my server, so this might just be the best option

I have nginx proxy manager already, can I use it for Minecraft? I don’t know which protocol it uses.

I’m using tailscale for remote connection, so no port forwarding.

Hmm that’s a good point.

Aws also can cost a good chunk if you restore un-optimally

Yup! This is what I do! Love it so much

Thank you. It really was that simple

Oops you are right.

A quick search said mc uses tcp

Yes, and Minecraft is TCP not http

Anything.

Personally I use Debian. But Docker doesn’t care. I chose Debian because it is very stable and simple

Thanks for the help. This is enough to get me started

With Crafty you can bind a specific port.

I use tailscale for public access, and have set it up so tailscale users can access the domain.

I guess what I’m asking for is NPM but for tcp.

No I’m not.

I have tailscale setup for external access. (I have dns records already in my domain provider pointing to a tailscale ip, so a device on my tailnet can access my domain. ie an authorized tailscale device can access nginx.example.com)

I want to know what I have to do to get minecraft.example.com to resolve interenally.

Oh fascinating. I’ll have to look into that

Cool okay.

What about the CNAME one?

For 4 II, its CNAME Name: @ Target: ???

What is the target supposed to be?

Edit: putting “@” for name on the A record, once saved, it changes to my domain instead of @, in your screenshot

A good dashboard helps with not remembering port numbers also. And can look slick

Holy crap thank you so much. I was literally thinking of figuring out how to do exactly this EARLIER TODAY!

Thank you again for this write up. I have almost all of what you wrote already done (cloudflare, NPM and tailscale setup) but haven’t hooked Tailscale and NPM together yet.
