Minecraft Server in Docker

Run your minecraft server in a docker container.

Usage

Create any of the following files if you want to customize your server:

server.properties

banned-ips.json

banned-players.json

ops.json

whitelist.json

Depending on the files you created, start the server:

Bare minimum:

echo "eula=true" > eula.txt
docker run --rm -it -d \
-p 25565 \
--name my-mc-world \
-v $(pwd)/eula.txt:/mc/eula.txt \
halandar/minecraft-server-docker:latest

With custom files and settings:

echo "eula=true" > eula.txt
docker run --rm -it -d \
-v my-mc-world:/mc/world \
-p 25565 \
--name my-mc-world \
-v $(pwd)/eula.txt:/mc/eula.txt \
-v $(pwd)/server.properties:/mc/server.properties \
-v $(pwd)/banned-ips.json:/mc/banned-ips.json \
