How do I Host an Online Minetest Server?
I want to host a minetest server on my computer, but I don't know how.
So basically, I just want to know how to, in layman's terms, how to host a server that would run off of my internet service. That way I can decide what settings and mods are on.

The easiest solution I've found is to use Docker.
I hosted a few Minetest servers using LinuxServer.io's Docker image. All the info on how to run them is here: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/minetest
I've run them without issues for about three years even on really cheap VPS servers with less than 1GB of RAM (but for 2-3 players).
You have the option to simply run using Docker CLI, but I prefer using docker-compose, as I sometimes have more Minetest servers on the same machine.
Recently I noticed that there's an official set of Minetest Docker images that you could try.
