Cant get RCON to run in itzg

Hi, Newb here, I'm running the itzg Bedrock server locally on my network to play with kids. We're trying to get RCON set up so we can build an Arduino project to transport around with buttons. I'm told that RCON can be configured to receive commands that we need and we can do the rest. RCON is in theory already inside of the itzg server but must be configured however I have tried all avenues I can find and it's just not working, it isn't running on the port and doesn't respond to commands, I think it is never initialized. There is the everpresent confusion about formats between Java and Bedrock which is crazy making. I think I have it right below but any tips appreciated!

Here are the things I have tried:

System: itzg:latest running in Docker on Ubuntu server local network, Windows and iPad clients

  • Use environment variables in the Docker file to set
    • -e ENABLE_RCON=true
    • -e RCON_PORT=25575
    • -e RCON_PASSWORD=myPassword
  • Delete existing server.properties
  • Ensure my xuid is permission : "operator" in permissions.json
  • Run Docker file to have container recreate server.properties
  • (listen for activity on port but none found - actually none of the listening tools are installed in the container so this is itself a chore)
  • Edit the newly created server.properties to add the following:
    • enable-rcon=true
    • rcon.port=25575
    • rcon.password=myPassword
  • Restart minecraft container
  • Check with exec -it that container has actually accepted the server.properties and it has.
  • I've checked the ubuntu firewall isn't on, not trying to access it yet, just trying to turn it on and get a heartbeat.

After all of the above and countless variations, RCON is just dead. Does it still exist in this container? Reason I ask is that itzg has another container called "itzg/rcon" which obviously is designed to support RCON but seems like it is intended to solve a different problem with multiple containers that could be hosted in different locations etc. I don't need to run any mods or crazy stuff or host from multiple locations just want to TP around by pushing buttons.

My 10 year old is getting impatient with my messing around, if anyone can shed light on what I'm doing wrong above or what's missing or even an alternative at this point I would be appreciative!

Thank you for your patience and insight
