    image: itzg/minecraft-bedrock-server
    environment:

      - ./data:/data
    stdin_open: true

Remote Access

Mnecraft server doesn't use HTTP, so there is no need for a reverse proxy. You need to forward the UDP port from your external server to your internal (home) server (see here):

# on external server! nft add rule wg prerouting iifname "enp1s0" dnat ip to udp dport map { 19132 : 10.70.0.1 . 19132 } /etc/init.d/nftables save 
 

Autostart

Using my user-containers OpenRC script just link it: 

cd /etc/init.d
ln -s user-containers user-containers.minecraft

Create /etc/conf.d/user-containers.minecraft:

user-containers.minecraft
USER=minecraft
DESCRIPTION="Minecraft Server"

And set it up for autostart:+ 

/etc/init.d/user-containers.minecraft start
rc-update add user-containers.minecraft default
