docker run \
-it \
--name spigot-server \
-d \
-v path/to/dir/minecraft-files:/opt/minecraft \
-v /path/to/dir/minecraft-data:/var/lib/minecraft \
-p 0.0.0.0:25565:25565 \

Start a Server with Rcon
Rcon is disabled by default as it is a security risk for your server if not secured properly.
Replace DEFAULT_OP=notch with your Minecraft username.
Add -e ENABLE_RCON=true \ to the docker run command to enable rcon on the server.
You will also need to add an rcon.password with -e RCON_PASSWORD=CHANGE_ME! \
Replace CHANGE_ME! in the previous statement and the example code below with a unique very secure password.
Use https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm to generate a unique very secure password.
docker run \
-it \
--name spigot-server \
-d \
-v path/to/dir/minecraft-files:/opt/minecraft \
-v /path/to/dir/minecraft-data:/var/lib/minecraft \
-p 0.0.0.0:25565:25565 \
