Phase 11

Crafty

Crafty is a web UI for managing one or more Minecraft servers.

1) Docker Compose

Create: ~/docker/compose/minecraft/crafty.compose.yml

services:
  crafty:
    image: registry.gitlab.com/crafty-controller/crafty-4:latest
    container_name: crafty
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
    ports:
      - "8443:8443"   # Crafty UI
      - "25565:25565" # Minecraft server
    volumes:
      - ~/docker/appdata/crafty/backups:/crafty/backups
      - ~/docker/appdata/crafty/logs:/crafty/logs
      - ~/docker/appdata/crafty/servers:/crafty/servers
      - ~/docker/appdata/crafty/config:/crafty/app/config
      - ~/docker/appdata/crafty/import:/crafty/import
    restart: unless-stopped

Start:

docker compose -f ~/docker/compose/minecraft/crafty.compose.yml up -d

Open:

  • https://<debian-ip>:8443

2) Port forwarding (only if you want public access)

Forward on your router:

  • TCP/UDP 25565 → Debian VM IP

Safer alternative: Tailscale

If your friends can use Tailscale, you can avoid exposing ports publicly.
