servers in hyper-v

[OrangeTurtle]

is there a way to run a server in hyper-v for use outside of the vm?

if you say to just run it on a host machine, then no, i don't want to run it on a host machine.

my use cases are:

• minecaft servers
• discord bot hosting
• anything i plan to set up in the future

Sure, that's kind of the point. You can either use NAT or set it up to be directly connected to your LAN as a physical device and devices on your LAN will see it like any other PC, for external access you need to do port forwarding like any other physical machine.

 

Obviously you need to keep the host running for the VM to be running though.
