This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

To make a server public:
1: Go to your router settings and make sure port 30000 (or whatever port you're actually using) is forwarded to your computer
2: Decide whether you want to run the server from the GUI or from the CLI. GUI is easier but it only runs when you are logged in.
If GUI:
3: Go to the "Advanced" tab. Leave the host name blank. Check the "public" checkbox. Done.
If CLI:
3: make a copy of minetest.conf (I call mine server.conf)
4: Edit server.conf so that server_announce = 1
5: (optional) Continue editing server.conf, adding the fields server_name and server_description
6: run "minetestserver --config <full path to server.conf> --gameid minetest --worldname <name of your map>"
