Set up a Minecraft Bedrock server on Linux

Install HaruHost

On Ubuntu (x86-64), run:

curl -fsSL https://haruhost.com/install.sh | sudo bash

HaruHost installs as a service. Sign in with the QR code it shows in your SSH session, then open the web panel from any browser.

What HaruHost does for you

• Docker: on Ubuntu, HaruHost installs and sets up Docker with one click when you create your first server.
• systemd and screen: not needed. HaruHost runs as a service and keeps the server running without an open SSH session.
• Settings: the start script opens on Manual Config, and server.properties is on the Files page.
• Version: the server stays on the version you picked.

Step by step

1. Run the install command and sign in.
2. In the web panel, choose Add → New game server, pick your Linux server, then Minecraft Bedrock, and pick the version.
3. Create the server. If Docker isn't installed yet, HaruHost asks first; press Install, then Create Server.
4. Open your port range for UDP in your VPS provider's firewall; HaruHost shows it under Devices → Manage device → Network Settings.
5. Start the server and send friends the Server Address from the Details tab.
