Hi HN,

(Disclaimer: I'm the one-man-band behind Wormhole Network)

As part of my work on overlay networking I'm developing a series of examples on how this technology is a disruptor.

On this specific example, you could spin up a private Minecraft server and get your friends to connect to it with very easy steps for everyone and avoiding complex VPN solutions, working with NAT, routing and firewall configurations (plus exposing port on Docker itself).

A tiny Minecraft hosting business could be built around this Docker image. Offer private Minecraft servers and spin as many as you can on one single server. As you don't need to tweak network configuration nor expose ports on Docker, all the servers could run on the same default port, making it very easy for your customers.

The possibilities are endless :) hope you enjoy it!
