Command Line Option for Listen IP

[Pugmatt]

Yes, I could do this. Only reason why I didn't add this at first is because the local IP can occasionally change, but I'll add the option for people who know what they're doing.

My use case is that I want to run it in docker on a rasbpi... This was the first issue I ran into.

[MarcProe]

I just realized that there is no ip input if you omit generatedns. I don't need that, since I have my own DNS, so I have it now running on my Raspberry Pi in Docker.

Here's the Dockerfile, for anyone interessted.

FROM hypriot/rpi-java
RUN mkdir /brc
COPY BedrockConnect-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /brc
WORKDIR /brc
EXPOSE 19132/udp
CMD ["java", "-Xms1G", "-Xmx1G", "-jar", "BedrockConnect-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar", "nodb=true"]

Build it:

docker build -t bedrock-connect .

Docker command line:

docker run --name "bedrock-c" -d --restart always -p 19132:19132/udp bedrock-connect

Ah okay, I didn't realize you were trying to do a solution outside of the video tutorial. The generatedns is done specifically for the DNS software used in the video tutorial I have for setting BedrockConnect locally, so in cases like yours where you already have a different DNS software, it would not be required. Glad to see you got it working!

@MarcProe I was working on the same container setup today today. If you set it to nodb, it's supposed to save the serverlist to a file. Have you figured out a way to make that persistent in the container with a volume?

[MarcProe]

@cjr222 yes.

Change the mkdir command in the Dockerfile above to
RUN mkdir -p /brc/players

and mount that directory as volume:

docker run --name "bedrock-c" -d --restart always -v /opt/bedrockconnect/:/brc/players -p 19132:19132/udp bedrock-connect

This will store the "nodb" files in /opt/bedrockconnect (create it first)

Ah okay, I didn't realize you were trying to do a solution outside of the video tutorial.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.
This issue is a little bit derailed now, feel free to just close it unless you intend to implement the static ip swich nevertheless (I don't think it is needed).

Thanks for your great work! Now my son, his friend and the dads can play on one server using a Switch, a PS4 and two Laptops.
