This is needed for servers using bump in the line firewalls where the server has public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses bound to its interface.

Although, its technically not a bug, it is a glaring omission for a dedicated server instance to be unable to bind to a specific IP address.

This definitely needs to be added, without this, it is almost impossible to host correctly with docker on a server with multiple IP addresses.

This is not an bug/issue. You cannot change the IP of your server. You could use https://freedns.afraid.org/ or some other web forward tool. It would forward anyone who typed it in to your server. 

 

When you use your IP, use your PUBLIC OR EXTERNAL IP. The one you have provided is local. Check your public IP by searching up "whats my ip" right in google chrome. 

I hope this helped in some way.

Having this same issue, can't seem to allocate the server to a different IP other than my computers default IP address. The server-ip option needs to be added to server.properties like with Java Minecraft so we can set the IP the process binds to.

You can't set a server-ip from server.properties. Your computer is handed an ip-adress from you router, so if you want to change the ip set to your computer, you'll have to do that in the routers settings. 127.0.0.1 is just a handle for "This machine" and corresponds to whatever ip you computer currently has, but only localy.

(This is not a bug, just trying to be helpful. But I get the feeling that you don't really know what you are getting yourself into)
