Hosting a Minecraft Server on Synology DSM
Overview
Instructions for hosting a Minecraft server on Synology DSM.
Viewing server status
- Synology DSM > Package Center > Docker < Open
- Container tab
Containers named minecraft-server serve for Minecraft Java Edition, i.e. desktop, laptop.
Containers named minecraft-bedrock-server serve mobile editions of Minecraft, i.e. iPad.
Nintendo Switch consoles can't connect to either of these servers, I think.
Click on a server, then click Action > Details at the top to view the server details, e.g. the port on which the server is running.
Upgrading server version
View the server container in Synology DMS. Stop the server with the icon in the rightmost column, then start the server again. It will upgrade automatically.
