probably a 2GB 1core VPS is fine, of course more is better - faster for some stuff… Our Gitea instance run on a 4core 6GB VM…

yes, and that command I pasted will run that /stop command inside the docker container. The same way you can list files or do any other commands on a running container:

# docker exec heimdall ls -la /
total 148
drwxr-xr-x   1 root root  4096 Jul 14 07:09 .
drwxr-xr-x   1 root root  4096 Jul 14 07:09 ..
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root     0 Jul 14 07:09 .dockerenv

just run docker exec mcbe-world /stop then just wait a bit till it shuts down cleanly and then start it again…

Well, wet bug meat are actually tasty, those land bugs are mostly chitin shells and not much protein, also the taste is not good.

Hey, you can edit config files in GUI 😄

Thats why Element(Matrix) is the way. Ideally selfhosted+federated, but even the default matrix.org is much better than most other chat apps.
