$ docker buildx install

Next, build the image:

$ docker build -t your_desired_image_name:and_tag

Using the image

The repository contains an example docker-compose.yml file for how one might run/configure a container running the image.

1. /config: this contains the configuration files for the dedicated server
2. /worlds: this contains any worlds created on the server

Ports

By default the server listents on UDP port 19132.
