change the tcp port in the config-file to 80,
2 port forward 80 in your router
in your router, set an static ip for your hosting machine
for your domain, set an A-Record to your hosting machines ip

#

when you open a domain in your browser it will default to the http port which is 80, thats why you have to use port 80

#

The Webseite itself is preconfigured by the plugin so you dont need to do anything with that

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

Awesome

#

I’m gonna try it

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

nice. But please be careful with port forwarding, there are a lot of bad people out there

#

when you forward, make absolutley shure that you understand what this port is doing

#

feel free to ping me if you have any more questions

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

I am I work in networking I just could not figure this out

#

are you good with minecraft servers I have another question

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

Maybe xD. Whats your questions

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

So I am able to connect my server and my friend is but on minecraft its saying it cant connect even tho I can

#

and its annoying cuz my MOTD isnt showing up

#

should I forward UDP, TCP or both

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

Yeah thats a problem with ne never minecraft version, I think ther is no other fix for that than spamming refresh xD

#

Tcp should be enough

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

ok

#

it says that for everyone thats the annoying person

#

anything else I need to alter in settings?

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

nothing that would matter for the general setup

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

ok

#

Ugh so I can connect with my internal but when I try my external it just takes me to my router config

#

do I need an SRV record since Im trying to use a specfic port

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:49 PM

#

did you use the ip of your router or your hosting machine for the A-Record?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

yes my static Ip is set on my router and its pointing to to the router using the a record

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

The A-Record should point to the static public ip of the machine which is actually running the minecraft server

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

yeah thats what it is pointing to

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

you just said its pointing to the router

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

I have port 80 forwarding to the same ip that im forwarding the minecraft port to (25565)

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:54 PM

#

ok so you are 100% sure its pointing to the minecraft running machine

#

and people outside your network are able to connect to the minecraft server?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

yes my friend and I are currently connected to the server and hes not at my house. And I am 100% sure that port 80 and port 25565 are pointing to the same IP address (Which is the IP adress of my server)

#

I am 99% sure once I can connect thru my external IP I will be able to do the same thru my domain

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

yeah

#

ok thats wierd

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

I know right

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:58 PM

#

So if you open the externel ip of your server it just defaults to the gateway ip or what?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:59 PM

#

huh

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 10:59 PM

#

did you set "webserver-port" to 80 in your dynmap config?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 10:59 PM

#

yup

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:00 PM

#

and what is happening if you open that external ip in your browser again?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

If I open it on my server it forwards to my router login page

#

and on my pc im playing on its the same thing

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

thats really wierd

#

ok then I guess try the normal webserver port 8123 and a srv record

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

already tried before I contacted

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

same problem?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

hold on let me change it so I can give you exacts

#

_dynmap._tcp for the SRV Name?

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

I guess

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

this is so fucking confusing

#

yeah I changed all the settings and still no

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

have you already tried opening "<externel-ip>:8123" in your browser?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

same error

#

thats what I just tried

#

but again internal IP is working just fine on server so its something with the router

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

I guess something with your firewall/portforwarding is wrong then

#

Have you also opened the port on your servers firewall?

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

Im turning my firewall off to test this

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

Maybe trying reading router logs

#

I dont know either sorry

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

your good thank you

ripe panther Sep 6, 2024, 11:09 PM

#

I am renting a server in a data center for that

prisma mirage Sep 6, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

thats smart

#

it was my windows firewall on the server

ripe panther Sep 7, 2024, 12:04 AM

#

I tought you disabled the firewall?

prisma mirage Sep 7, 2024, 12:49 AM

#

So did I

#

hey another questiop

#

Any idea why the map is blacking out

plain isle Sep 7, 2024, 4:00 PM

#

prisma mirage Any idea why the map is blacking out

Are all chunks existing?

#

Dynmap only renders existing chunks but doesn't generate

prisma mirage Sep 7, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

Oh so in explorered chunks don’t register

plain isle Sep 7, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

Jo

#

The chunks must be existing jn order to render to it is recommended to pregen chunks with worldboarder/ chunky

prisma mirage Sep 8, 2024, 8:34 AM

#

huh

#

is that a command

ripe panther Sep 8, 2024, 12:02 PM

#

Its another plugin

#

You can pregen chunks with the chunky plugin, and then just do a /dynmap fullrender

prisma mirage Sep 8, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

I downloaded chunky

prisma mirage Sep 9, 2024, 5:44 AM

#

Is there an API so I don’t have to use the web server

ripe panther Sep 10, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

for what?
