Hello everyone i build a Minecraft server for my friends and me because we only had a multiplayer was launching on a Playstation 4 pro the problem there is we are 7 people so its really lagging hard sometimes and we only can join when this one friend is playing Minecraft so a server would be great that everyone can join al time!! I followed the instructions and i clicked the button deploy with balena everything went great the application was been created i downloaded the software flashed it with balena Etcher on my SD the Raspberry booted up and appeard on the Dashboard In the next step I connected like it stands in alexProgrammerDE’s Github I typed the name: balena… .local the server was been found and then there was this problem: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/balena/original/2X/0/0b152daab4802b59fca596d3cbcaaa27b8d04fbe.jpeg) Is this because i have the version 1.12.2 or is it also the cracked Titan Launcher another Question can i connect to the server on bedrock edition? and I don’t think that this is normal: in the logs there is standing service exited 'mc server can somebody please help me sorry for my Englisch im from Austria ---

Hello @Ferdi Thank you for writing your questions on the forums! It’s great you are building this for your friends! First of all what Raspberry Pi are you using? Second, did you try with your local IP? I have seen similar issues like this in the forums, and when the users re-start the system or similar it works 🙂 Keep us updated! ---

Try to delete your paper jar via scp or just set `ENABLE_UPDATE` to true in the dashboard. It should pull the latest jar.
