This image replace the old image: ashdev/docker-spigot
This docker image is ready to use the latest version of Minecraft (1.15 Nether Update)
All available tags are always listed in Docker Hub:
1.15,latest: Latest server for Minecraft 1.15.1.15-alpine,alpine: Latest server using Alpine for Minecraft 1.15.
The plugins are using the latest version. In case of issue, disable them.
To use the version 1.15 of docker run
docker run -d -e REV=1.15 -p 25565:25565 ashdev/minecraft-spigot:latest
This docker image provides a Minecraft Server with Spigot that will automatically download the latest stable version at startup.
To simply use the latest stable version, run
docker run -d -p 25565:25565 ashdev/minecraft-spigot:latest
where the standard server port, 25565, will be exposed on your host machine.
If you want to serve up multiple Minecraft servers or just use an alternate port, change the host-side port mapping such as
docker run -p 25566:25565 ...
will serve your Minecraft server on your host's port 25566 since the -p syntax is
host-port:container-port.
Speaking of multiple servers, it's handy to give your containers explicit names using --name, such as
docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name mc ashdev/minecraft-spigot:latest
With that you can easily view the logs, stop, or re-start the container:
docker logs -f mc
( Ctrl-C to exit logs action )
docker stop mc
docker start mc
In order to attach and interact with the Minecraft server, add -it when starting the container, such as
docker run -d -it -p 25565:25565 --name mc ashdev/minecraft-spigot:latest
With that you can attach and interact at any time using
docker attach mc
and then Control-p Control-q to detach.
For remote access, configure your Docker daemon to use a tcp socket (such as -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375)
and attach from another machine:
docker -H $HOST:2375 attach mc
Unless you're on a home/private LAN, you should enable TLS access.
You can send commands in the server by calling
docker exec mc /spigot_cmd.sh <command>
example:
docker exec mc /spigot_cmd.sh op AshDevFr
You can disable the console to reduce the CPU usage but you will loose the ability to send commands to the server
docker run -d -e NOCONSOLE=true ...
Mojang now requires accepting the Minecraft EULA. To accept add
-e EULA=TRUE
such as
docker run -d -it -e EULA=TRUE -p 25565:25565 ashdev/minecraft-spigot:latest
In order to readily access the Minecraft data, use the -v argument
to map a directory on your host machine to the container's /minecraft directory, such as:
docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/minecraft ...
When attached in this way you can stop the server, edit the configuration under your attached /path/on/host
and start the server again with docker start CONTAINERID to pick up the new configuration.
In order to add mods, you will need to attach the container's /minecraft directory
(see "Attaching data directory to host filesystem”).
Then, you can add mods to the /path/on/host/mods folder you chose. From the example above,
the /path/on/host folder contents look like:
/path/on/host
├── plugins
│ └── ... INSTALL PLUGINS HERE ...
├── ops.json
├── server.properties
├── whitelist.json
└── ...
If you add mods while the container is running, you'll need to restart it to pick those up:
docker stop $ID
docker start $ID
To add more "op" (aka adminstrator) users to your Minecraft server, pass the Minecraft usernames separated by commas via the OPS environment variable, such as
docker run -d -e OPS=user1,user2 ...
A server icon can be configured using the ICON variable. The image will be automatically
downloaded, scaled, and converted from any other image format:
docker run -d -e ICON=http://..../some/image.png ...
If you want to create the Minecraft level with a specific seed, use SEED, such as
docker run -d -e SEED=1785852800490497919 ...
By default, Minecraft servers are configured to run in Survival mode. You can
change the mode using MODE where you can either provide the standard
numerical values or the
shortcut values:
- creative
- survival
For example:
docker run -d -e MODE=creative ...
The message of the day, shown below each server entry in the UI, can be changed with the MOTD environment variable, such as
docker run -d -e 'MOTD=My Server' ...
If you leave it off, the last used or default message will be used. The example shows how to specify a server message of the day that contains spaces by putting quotes around the whole thing.
By default servers are created with player-vs-player (PVP) mode enabled. You can disable this with the PVP
environment variable set to false, such as
docker run -d -e PVP=false ...
You can either switch between world saves or run multiple containers with different saves by using the LEVEL option,
where the default is "world":
docker run -d -e LEVEL=bonus ...
NOTE: if running multiple containers be sure to either specify a different -v host directory for each
LEVEL in use or don't use -v and the container's filesystem will keep things encapsulated.
docker run -d -e VDIST=10 ...
docker run -d -e OPPERM=4 ...
docker run -d -e NETHER=true ...
docker run -d -e FLY=false ...
docker run -d -e MAXBHEIGHT=256 ...

The Java memory limit can be adjusted using the JVM_OPTS environment variable, where the default is
the setting shown in the example (max and min at 1024 MB):
docker run -e 'JVM_OPTS=-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M' ...
DYNMAP=true ESSENTIALS=false ESSENTIALSPROTECT=false PERMISSIONSEX=false CLEARLAG=false
