How do you publish a server using Chrome OS with Linux enabled (Crostini)

[RainZhang]

I'm trying to make a server using Crostini, please help.

Step 1: install the mono framework
run "sudo apt install mono-complete" in the terminal

Step 2: install and run MCGalaxy
install MCGalaxy from here. https://github.com/UnknownShadow200/MCGalaxy/releases/download/1.9.4.9/mcgalaxy_1.9.4.9.zip
unzip then run it with the command "mono MCGalaxy.exe"

Step 3: port forward
you will need to look up how to port forward for your router model
then forward port 25565 for your ip
To find your ip goto chrome://system in your browser and find ifconfig; hit expand. your ip will be the first number in the "inet" section

Do you really have to port? I heard it's really dangerous

If you want to self-host a public server, it is the only way. Otherwise, you will need to look into renting a VPS (which requires even more technical knowledge) or using Eddynetweb.

I got the discord verified but I didn't receive the email link. UPDATE: It now works.

You also need to go to the crostini settings and set it up to bridge port 25565 (or whatever you're using for the server) from the Debian container to the ChromeOS host system. I've had to deal with that before.

 

And if you're on a school-managed chromebook, things get much more complicated.
