Docker image for Minecraft Spigot Server

Run the Image

docker run -dit -p {PORT_ON_YOUR_MACHINE}:25565 --name spigot checker8763/spigot

-dit : -d run with detached console, -i interactive otherwise you can not write to console, -t something with tty that is recommended

-p {PORT_ON_YOUR_MACHINE}:25565 : open the port for access to the server, can be the same as the container one or another

Example Docker-Compose

version: '2.4'
services:
    spigot:
        image: checker8763/spigot
        container_name: spigot
        ports:
            #Game Port
            - "{PORT_ON_YOUR_MACHINE}:25565"
            # OPTIONAL: only if you use rcon -> needs rcon enabled
            - "{PORT_ON_YOUR_MACHINE}:25575"
        volumes:
            # with a volume
            - "{VOLUME_NAME}:/home/spigot"
            # Or with bindmound
            - "{PATH_TO_FOLDER}:/home/spigot"
volumes:
    {VOLUME_NAME}: {}

Access the console

docker attach -it spigot

To detach without stopping press: CTRL-P CTRL-Q

Thats the standard shortcut by docker

Build it yourself

1. Clone this repo
2. Switch to the newly created folder
3. Build by executing docker build --build-arg SPIGOT_VERSION={INSERT_VERSION} --force-rm -q -t spigot:{INSERT_VERSION} .

"--build-arg SPIGOT_VERSION={INSERT_VERSION}" : set the spigot version that should be built

"--force-rm" : always remove intermediate containers

"-q" : no text output

"-t spigot:{INSERT_VERSION}" : the tag for the created image

Build fails

Remove intermediate images:

This will remove every unused image!!!

docker image prune -f

Build inside a screen

For experienced people

You can build the image inside a screen so you can log off. Only use if you are familliar with the screen command.

1. cd /server/Docker/Spigot
2. screen -S dockerbuild docker build --build-arg SPIGOT_VERSION={INSERT_VERSION} --force-rm -q -t spigot:{INSERT_VERSION} .
