Easily use Docker to deploy a basic Minecraft server using Spigot

Docker-Minecraft

Easily use Docker to deploy a basic Minecraft server

Requirements

• Basic knowledge of Docker (not needed, but recommended)
• Docker
• Linux This should now work on Linux, Windows (Docker Desktop can utilize WSL), and MacOS

To use

1. Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/slashtechno/docker-minecraft/
2. Change to the directory with cd docker-minecraft.
3. Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt (pip3 may need to be used instead)
4. Run the script with python3 server-manager.py (you may need to use python instead of python3, and sudo may be required)
   Done!

Roadmap

• Migrate from os.system to subprocess.run
• Allow port changes (save current container as an image, and run image with new ports)
• Use pathlib library
• Possibly migrate to the Docker API or Python on Whales
  • Check names of all existing containers and images when a new container or image is being created
  • Instead of relying on container and image names, rely on the IDs (could be possible without the Docker API)
• Allow name changes to containers and images
• Switch to docker export
