June 27, 20206 yr Great. I've done that and it's up and running. Is it possible to have multiple levels on the same server?
June 27, 20206 yr Yea it appears the container isn't properly creating the directory/file but you can manually generate them. Something to fix in the dockerfile?
June 27, 20206 yr https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect On page 4, there was talk of setting up a docker to run a local DNS server for this. Would this allow xbox users that are outside of my LAN to input my WAN IP into minecraft and then connect to the bedrock server? Edited June 27, 20206 yr by jj_uk

You can have multiple levels on the same sever but they won't be accessible at the same time. You would have to change the server.properties to match the level you wanted to play. You can have multiple Minecraft dockers running and with proper port forwarding you can have multiple levels assessible at the same time. There was some talk about doing this early in this thread. I have not done this so I cannot offer specifics. Found this Edited June 27, 20206 yr by Bentunit

Same result as the first time. However, when it was initializing it didn't have to pull the docker container contents again which I assume has to do with that fact that I already have an instance of the container on my server. I am wondering if a truly fresh install (which I would assume means removing previous docker images and appdata?) would create the server.properties. But, from what it sounds like, this shouldn't have happened in the first place anyway. Edited June 27, 20206 yr by planetarymotion

SCRUB THAT - tried it a third time and this time it did not create the server.properties file, so looks like its random, i will take a look. i see you are on a mac using 'finder', i wonder if finder is hiding .properties files for some reason perhaps, thats all i can conclude right now as it just works on my system,. one thing you can do to confirm the file exists (or not) is left click the icon and select 'console' for the container and then type the following and paste the output:- ls -al /config/minecraft Edited June 27, 20206 yr by binhex
June 27, 20206 yr Author i see the problem and i have a fix that im testing, if all goes well then expect a new image in around 40 mins.

Awesome! 2 minutes ago, jj_uk said: The fix will only affect new installs, right? If you are still missing the server.properties file, you could manually create it.

June 27, 20206 yr Ok. I manually created the file and it's all running locally.Now I need to use BedrockConnect to allow external Xboxs to connect to my MC server; but I don't really trust a random dns server and I expect it would be less latency if it was running locally.So any chance of a docker running https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect dns server?

June 27, 20206 yr They're kids using xboxes. I'd need to give them all raspberry pi's and have them connect to that. And explain to the parents why I'm giving their child a device that wants internet access ... A docker on my server would be better. I found this, but I've no idea how to run a docker on unraid, I've always used the apps tab: https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect/blob/master/docker/README.md

And explain to the parents why I'm giving tgeir child a device that wants internet access ... alternatively download phantom (single exe) get them to run it on a pc running windows and you are good, sounds easier to me than dns redirection or any of that funky stuff - keep in mind any solution will need to run on the remote users lan (not your lan), there is no way around this.

June 27, 20206 yr I thought the BedrockConnect DNS server runs on my hardware and the xbox users changes their DNS lookup settings to point to my WAN IP address, which is then forwarded to the BedrockConnect DNS?

Found this I dont think it will work because AFAIK, minecraft expects servers to be on port 19132, and there can only be one server running on that port at a time. Edited June 27, 20206 yr by jj_uk

EDIT: @jj_uk and it should be also possible to enter a port if you are connecting with BedrockConnect DNS Or what is the question here? You can run BedrockConnect DNS on your hardware but there are also servers that you can use, they just forward you to your server.
June 29, 20206 yr I have the xbox working with the bedrockconnect DNS. Yes. You can enter a port on xbox. I'll create a few instances of this docker on different ports and see it'll work. Hopefully LAN games on minecraft searches all ports as I can't see where that can be changed (android).

(it also works inside my lan via port reflection). Edited June 29, 20206 yr by binhex

Here is a screenshot from android when you add a server: I can tell you that this works if you create multiple instances (tested this with another container but not with yours @binhex but should also be no problem. ) EDIT: I think you are talking of the 2nd tab within minecraft. In the 3rd tab on the bottom you can add custom servers.
