I spun-up a Minecraft server with my phone in a WinCo parking lot

• Friend messaged me on Discord.
• Opened Dockge and started a new stack.
• Added Itzg's images for mc-router and minecraft-server.
• Added Caddy labels to redirect web traffic to mcstatus.

Features:

• Reverse-proxied to an easy-to-speak address (mc.jafner.net).
• All yaml configuration. No SSH. No .env files.
• Uptime monitoring, downtime notifications, and web traffic redirection to mcstatus.io.
• Easy to expand to additional servers.
