Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).

I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?

TIA

I've been unable to get a clear answer if the Switch version can join LAN servers without Switch Online. I assume you can't, but are you able to verify that?

Depends on the situation.

Multiple Switch players within the same network (LAN) can play together without an NSO sub. You are limited to only Switch consoles.

Cross play however requires a Microsoft account. So even if you're in the same network with different devices to play Minecraft you'll still need to be able to make an online connection to Microsoft because of the cross play. That requires an NSO sub.

Thank you. I've been trying to find an answer to that for months.
