Docker Minecraft PaperMC server 1.16.x, 1.15.2, 1.14.4 (legacy) or 1.13.2 (legacy)
docker pull marctv/minecraft-papermc-server
docker run \
--rm \
--name mcserver \
-e MEMORYSIZE='1G' \
-v /homes/joe/mcserver:/data:rw \
-p 25565:25565 \
-i marctv/minecraft-papermc-server:latest
docker attach mcserver
You can use volumes to store data persistantly, for example:
docker run --rm \
-p 25565:25565 \
-v <full path to folder where you want to store the server files>:/data:rw \
marctv/minecraft-papermc-server:latest
If you prefer to use docker-compose
, use the following commands:
Start the server:
docker-compose up
Stop the server:
docker-compose stop
Issue server commands after attaching to the container:
docker attach mcserver
# then you can type things like "list"
list
# which will show the current players online or
help
# to see all the commands available
Additionally, a Makefile
is provided to easily start, stop, and attach to the container.
make start # equivalent to `docker-compose up -d --build`
make stop # equivalent to `docker-compose stop --rmi all --remove-orphans`
make attach # equivalent to `docker attach mcserver`
make help # prints a help message
MEMORYSIZE = 1G
Not more than 70% of your RAM for your Container! This is important! This is the RAM your Minecraft Server will use within the container WITHOUT the operating system.
TZ = Europe/Berlin
Sets the timezone for the container. A list of valid values can be found on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
