So my partner’s iPhone has her Apple ID as the main one, but my Apple ID for Home Sharing – because my Apple ID is the one that is set for Home Sharing on the Mac mini. The confusing thing with Home Sharing that Apple does not explain on its explanation page is that you can use a different Apple ID for Home Sharing than for the main Apple ID on your device. Here, and elsewhere on the net when travelling, “Home Sharing” has to be used, and is explained here – note this must not be confused with Family Sharing.
To other Macs on the network (but not elsewhere) “Share media with guests” works – the Library appears in Music (or, on older Macs, iTunes) on the network. Also as an External DVD Drive is currently connected so as to rip the few other CDs and DVDs I have here, these CDs will then be saved to the Mac mini library and then also accessible to the other devices connected here. This makes an orderly media library on the Mac mini. The setup in the Music App and in Media Sharing in System Preferences is: It all starts with Apple Music on the Mac mini. The answer is initially simple, but there were some glitches to get it just right. But playing this music at home (and on the road as well if possible) – and indeed from multiple devices – is one of the central aims of the server project. I do not want 150Gb of music on my MacBook all the time (note: I will keep some mp3s on the MacBook, but just a few thousand), and I do not want to pay for enough iCloud storage to store them all there too. I have more than 28000 mp3 files, ripped from CDs I got rid of long ago.
#M1 MAC MINI SERVER SERIES#
Hopefully Microsoft eventually offers an ARM architecture version of Bedrock, but I wouldn't hold your breath.This is part 3 of the series about the Mac mini server. Theoretically with the Docker setup, you could run a separate docker container for each of the servers you want to run (hardcore, survival, and creative), but seeing how hard the CPU has to work to run one, I doubt it would run three well concurrently. My guess is that since the server is Intel architecture running in Docker on an ARM architecture, it's not running very efficiently. However, looking at activity monitor I can see that it is absolutely pegging all 4 performance cores. I connected to the server from Minecraft on two iPads and it seemed to work fine, but I did not play for long.
#M1 MAC MINI SERVER INSTALL#
Download and install Docker Desktop for Apple Silicon:.
No version of the server that runs natively on MacOS.įurthermore, Minecraft Bedrock is only offered in X64 (intel) architecture, no ARM/Apple Silicon version.īut, where there's a will, there's a way:
#M1 MAC MINI SERVER WINDOWS#
Minecraft Bedrock server only offers Windows or Linux versions. If you want players to join from various devices like iPads, Xbox, or Switch, you need to run the Bedrock server, not the older Java server.
