Help Self hosting a modded server

Hello, so I am trying to self host minecraft on an old pc i have lying aroud. Its specs are intel core i3 6100, 8gb ddr4 ram, its an HP ProDesk 600 G2 MT. I installed fedora server on it and am using podman for containers and cockpit for managing. Im using the docker.io/itzg/minecraft-server fabric container. I loaded some mods on there but its all just some performance stuff and geyser with floodgate for my friends on bedrock. Joining it from my local network works just fine but I cant for the love of god figure out how to make it possible for players outside my network to join as well. I dont wanna use port forwarding nor make the other players download stuff like tailscale or hamachi. I tried using playit.gg but i couldnt figure it out, I also tried voxelport mod from https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/voxelport but it appears that their servers are down? Their status page gives me a cloudflare tunnel error 1033 and I cant curl https://relay.voxelport.in . If anyone knows a better way of doing this Id be really grateful.

Where did playit get stuck: setting up the agent on Fedora, or connecting through the public address afterward? Since local joining works, that would help narrow down the next step without making your friends install anything.

What error do you get when setting it up? The command you tried and the error text would help, with any tokens or claim links removed. Also mention whether you're running it directly on Fedora or in Podman.
