Self hosting minecraft (self.minecraft)

Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).

I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?

TIA

To join from a client you have to go to the "Servers" tab and if you scroll down the featured servers in the bottom you will find a "Add server" button or something like that where you can add a custom server.

Rant: They made sure it's hidden down there because they have partnerships with the sponsored servers which cash in a lot of money from kids going there. They use predatory and aggressive in-game marketing to try and squeeze every cent possible from kid's parents credit cards. I'm glad to see people host their own local servers instead.
