Self-Host Unlimited Game Servers on a Mini PC (MCSManager + Docker)

Описание: In this video I set up a self-hosted game server panel (MCSManager) and deploy multiple servers on one machine. This demo includes Minecraft (Java) and Terraria, but the same setup works for other games your hardware can handle.

Beginner-friendly: if you’re new to Linux/self-hosting, I’ll walk through the Docker setup, ports, and common fixes.I stopped paying monthly game server hosting fees and built my own self-hosted Minecraft and Terraria server at home.

No monthly fees.
No shared hosting.
You own the server.
