Customisation
Update for newer Bedrock Server version
When Mojang update the Bedrock Dedicated Server to a new version (current version 1.9.0) update the docker-compose.yml file to point to the new URI and change the tag number in the image node to reflect the new version.
Modify server settings
The quick start above will automatically create a default set of server settings. You can customise this by copying the server.properties.default file to server.properties and edit it to your preferences.
Adding existing Worlds
You can put an existing Bedrock world file in the data/worlds folder and point to it using the level-name= setting in the server.properties file.
Building the docker image manually
Change to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run:
docker build -t bedrock_server .Running docker-compose
If you are used to using docker-compose, you may be used to using docker-compose up don't do this here, because you want to attach to the server with an interactive session.
Instead, use:
docker-compose run --service-ports --rm bedrock_serverThis will also remove the container after running. Run docker-compose down to remove the remaining network setup. --service-ports is required to expose the ports when using run. This command is in the startserver.sh and startserver.cmd files for convenience.
