Created and started on Playkeeper 0.4.4 on 28 Sep 2026: ready in 3 seconds, with nothing failing to load.
The versions the template pins, as they installed when we started it, so your dashboard installs the same.
With Docker and the itzg image Playkeeper runs servers in, sized the way Playkeeper sizes it and with the pinned versions. Open TCP 25565 in your provider's firewall.
