Any free ngnix alternative that allows custom domains? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- plushiesarepog · 2023-09-29 20:39 Specifically, it has to support TCP 25565 because that's what I need it to do (mc java) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-09-29 20:46 nginx is free? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- realorangeone · 2023-09-29 20:46 HAProxy will do plain TCP reverse proxying. What issues are you having with `nginx`? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- plushiesarepog · 2023-09-29 20:58 I can't use my own domain with it though ---------------------------------------------------------------------- plushiesarepog · 2023-09-29 20:59 I can't use my own domain with it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-09-29 21:00 You can use any FQDN with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ScribeOfGoD · 2023-09-29 21:07 Nginx is a web server? You point DNS to the server and the server is configured for your domain name..? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- realorangeone · 2023-09-29 21:08 What are you talking about? You can use any domain you like. Just point the domain to your server and it's done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FroSSTII · 2023-09-29 21:09 Are you looking to host multiple MC servers/instances? if so why not use one of the many MC proxies like [BungeeCord](https://github.com/SpigotMC/BungeeCord) If you are running a single instance you could always just open port 25565 (hopefully restricting it only to you local server ip), in combination with a public DNS record that should be all you need to able to connect to the server with a [mc.mydomain.com](https://mc.mydomain.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam956 · 2023-09-29 21:11 I think the confusion here is coming from the fact that Minecraft doesn't use domain names the same way that HTTP does, so reverse proxies like NGINX don't usually know how to deal with them. I haven't looked too hard but I find it hard to believe that there's no Minecraft-specific reverse proxy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quique1222 · 2023-09-29 21:18 I don't think nginx is relevant in routing a MC server, and nginx is free and open source what are you talking about ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Antonaros · 2023-09-29 21:18 You need a reverse proxy specifically made for minecraft. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mosaic_hops · 2023-09-29 21:25 So will nginx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nerdiestnerdballer · 2023-09-29 21:28 Use a duckdns free subdomain ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-09-29 21:49 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_error ---------------------------------------------------------------------- edvauler · 2023-09-29 21:50 Post the config you tried, we don't believe you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- throwaway43234235234 · 2023-09-29 21:57 MC Java is it's own service, you don't need anything in front of it. Just setup a dns service record properly and make sure you're listening on a public IP and allowed ingress. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ecker00 · 2023-09-29 22:02 Sounds like you have a configs issue, this is possible but need more details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vogete · 2023-09-29 22:05 Of course you can. Even if you didn't purchase a domain, as long as you're using your own DNS server, you can use any domain with it. You won't be able to get proper signed certificates though (only self signed ones). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessHiway · 2023-09-29 22:09 Ive been doing it for months. Wish you would have told me sooner ---------------------------------------------------------------------- justinhunt1223 · 2023-09-29 23:04 What domain can you only use it with?
