linuxserver/minetest

Minetest (server) is a near-infinite-world block sandbox game and a game engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft, and the like.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/minetest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v6-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=minetest \
  -e PUID=1001 \
  -e PGID=1001 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 30000:30000/udp \
  -v <path to data>:/config/.minetest \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/minetest

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  minetest:
    image: linuxserver/minetest
    container_name: minetest
    environment:
      - PUID=1001
      - PGID=1001
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config/.minetest
    ports:
      - 30000:30000/udp
    mem_limit: 4096m
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
`-p 30000/udp`	Port Minetest listens on.
`-e PUID=1001`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1001`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-e TZ=Europe/London`	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
`-v /config/.minetest`	Where minetest stores config files and maps etc.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Application Setup

You can find the world maps, mods folder and config files in /config/.minetest.

Client and server must be the same version, please browse the tags here to pull the appropriate version for your server:

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/minetest/tags

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it minetest /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f minetest
container version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' minetest
image version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/minetest

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Run/Create

Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/minetest
Stop the running container: docker stop minetest
Delete the container: docker rm minetest
Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
Start the new container: docker start minetest
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

Update the image: docker-compose pull linuxserver/minetest
Let compose update containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
