Hi all, I'm trying to connect to my minecraft-server container via TCP as shown bellow: ![mc_bug_reseau](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/containo/original/2X/9/9d47ae12f68862a6b3137651803896e880fcb7c2.png) Here is my traefik docker-compose ```auto traefik: container_name: traefik restart: unless-stopped image: traefik:rocamadour command: - --log.level=INFO ports: #Liste les ports a exposer - 80:80 - 443:443 - 2565:25565/tcp volumes: #On décrit les volumes a monter dans le container - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock - /home/louison/turbonas/traefik/acme.json:/acme.json - /home/louison/turbonas/traefik/.htpasswd:/.htpasswd - /home/louison/turbonas/traefik/traefik.yaml:/traefik.yaml - /home/louison/turbonas/traefik/traefik_dynamic.yaml:/traefik_dynamic.yaml environment: - TZ=Europe/Paris ``` And here is entryPoint configured: ```auto entryPoints: minecraft: address: ':25565/tcp' ``` And finally here is my container: ```auto vanilla: container_name: vanilla restart: unless-stopped image: itzg/minecraft-server volumes: - /home/louison/turbonas/minecraft/vanilla/data:/data environment: EULA: "true" DEBUG: "true" labels: - traefik.tcp.routers.vanilla.rule=HostSNI(`my.domain.fr`) - traefik.tcp.routers.vanilla.entrypoints=minecraft ``` When I try to access my container I can see using `sudo tcpdump -i any -vv tcp port 25565` that some packets are incorrects: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/containo/original/2X/4/4defae4754dbb7c979050300b0735e2aafb44f4a.png) I think that Traefik is reading or alter packets while sending them to my container. Is there a way to configure Traefik not to read or not to alter packets? **Thanks all** _P.S.: Sorry if it's not really clear, I'm a French network newbie._ ---

As far as I know, Minecraft doesn't use TLS, so you can't use HostSNI as a rule since there is no SNI header. ---

Oh thanks, ok I can see my mistake now! So since Minecraft doesn't need TLS I cannot use any rule like `my.domain.fr` or is it possible to configure a specific rule? Thank you ---

No, you'll have to go port based. Each entrypoint = 1 route to a minecraft server. To attach a hostname to it, you want to look into SRV records (DNS); SRV records can have pointers that if you visit [my.domain.fr](http://my.domain.fr) it will look up not just the IP, but also the port for Minecraft. That's why if you want to host multiple minecraft servers you don't really need Traefik at all, just need SRV records in DNS and that'll do the trick. ---

Thanks, it's much more clear. I think I will go without Traefik for Minecraft for now. Have a nice day ! ---

I'm a french guy too... Here is how I setup Docker/Pterodactyl/Minecraft behind Cloudflare/Traefik: > **[Pterodactyl](https://blog.zogg.fr/fr/blog/docker/stacks/pterodactyl)** > > Mise en place d’une stack Docker pour faire tourner Pterodactyl sous une machine ARM64.Connaissances requises pour ce tuto :..Linux (shell, script, Bash, pig, gid, uid, systemd, ip, port).Docker With this you'll need to have setup before: - Docker - Portainer - Traefik And you'll get: - Pterodactyl - A subdomain for the panel and another for a node - SSL - Cloudflare protection & caching I realized that I need to update my tuto as I also works on amd64 😛 ---

Can't update my previous post. I switch from Grav to Ghost and changed my subdomain... So, article is now here: [Pterodactyl](https://infos.zogg.fr/pterodactyl/) My apologizes. ---

I tried it in private browsing mode to make sure it worked... no luck :frowning : I'm writing in French because there are few detailed articles in French compared to all those written in English. It's a conscious choice of popularization 🙂
