Server Container

This is the tooling to build a full-featured Minecraft server container. It downloads everything as part of the build process, so the resulting image launches immediately. (Note: This does not absolve you of the distribution restrictions of Mojang's licenses.)

This process is customizable via build arguments.

Example:

$ docker build --build-arg eula=yes .

Build Args

• eula: Set this to accept the Mojang EULA
• type: Set this to the type of server, one of: bukkit, curse, paper, forge, ftb, multimc, spigot, sponge, vanilla, custom (default: vanilla)
• version: Set this to the Minecraft version you want, or latest or snapshot (default: latest)

Note: Only type=vanilla is implemented

Contents

In addition to a basic Minecraft server (in /mc), this container holds:

• cmd: A program to run commands via rcon. Automatically reads connection information from server.properties (Fails if rcon is not enabled)
• Healthcheck: A healthcheck via rcon (TODO: Implement direct server query)
• Entrypoint: An entrypoint is implemented that will gracefully stop the server on container shutdown
