Multiple port-restricted docker containers on the same host (Minecraft Bedrock Server) The Tinker Dad 2021-04-23 | As a dad with a home lab, I ended up running multiple Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Win10, XBOX) Docker based servers on the same Docker host. These things are restricted to a single port (otherwise the XBOX won't be able to connect to them via the LAN), so the default "bridge" networking of Docker won't cut it this time.
