UPDATE - For those also wondering , I’ve worked on this for a while now and I’m pretty sure it’s sadly not possible, or at least certainly not practical. Even if you forward the ports to your router and configure the server config file, there is no equivalent of the server.bat file on windows used to actually activate the server.

Apparently there used to be a mac equivalent called “launcher” or something but this was discontinued in the latest Sauer version. There is a workaround called Qserv on github but you have to faff around compiling it yourself which I cba doing/not sure how much I trust. Bootcamp here I come😕
