# Networking
|
|
|
|
## Ports
|
|
|
|
| Port | Service | Exposure |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| 25565/tcp | Minecraft | Internet (port-forward this on your router) |
|
|
| 8080/tcp | Dashboard | **LAN/VPN only — never port-forward** |
|
|
| 25575/tcp | RCON | Docker-internal only (not published at all) |
|
|
|
|
## Letting friends connect
|
|
|
|
1. Give the server machine a static LAN IP (router → DHCP reservation)
|
|
2. Router → port forwarding → external `25565` → `<server-lan-ip>:25565`
|
|
3. Friends connect to your public IP (`curl ifconfig.me`), or set up free dynamic DNS
|
|
(DuckDNS et al.) so they can use a stable name like `yourname.duckdns.org`
|
|
|
|
Whitelist + EasyAuth handle the "random people found my server" problem — that's what
|
|
they're for.
|
|
|
|
## Keeping the dashboard private
|
|
|
|
The dashboard is deliberately not hardened for the open internet (it controls Docker).
|
|
Reach it from outside your LAN with **Tailscale** (free, ~5 minutes):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# on the server
|
|
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
|
|
sudo tailscale up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install Tailscale on your phone/laptop, log into the same account, and the panel is at
|
|
`http://<server-tailscale-ip>:8080` from anywhere — encrypted, invisible to everyone
|
|
else. (WireGuard works just as well if you prefer to self-host the VPN.)
|
|
|
|
Optionally pin the port binding to specific interfaces in `.env`/compose, and firewall
|
|
the host:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ufw allow 25565/tcp
|
|
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/16 to any port 8080 proto tcp # LAN only
|
|
sudo ufw enable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## If you later want the panel on a domain
|
|
|
|
Put Caddy (or Traefik/nginx) in front for TLS + an extra auth layer, and keep 8080
|
|
unpublished. This repo doesn't ship that by default — open an issue with your domain
|
|
setup and add a `caddy` service; the panel works fine behind a reverse proxy
|
|
(plain HTTP upstream, cookie auth).
|
|
|
|
## "Is it my internet or the server?"
|
|
|
|
Performance & Lag page. Server-side lag shows as low TPS / high MSPT (affects everyone
|
|
equally); player-side lag shows as high ping for that player only. The page gives a
|
|
plain-English verdict and per-player ping history so you can settle the argument.
