lsiodev/minetest

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

Usage

docker create --name=minetest -v <path to data>:/config/.minetest \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> -e TZ=<timezone> \
-p 30000:30000/udp lsiodev/minetest

Parameters

-p 30000/udp - the port(s)
-v /config/.minetest - where minetest stores config files and maps etc.
-e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
-e TZ for Timezone setting, eg Europe/London

It is based on phusion-baseimage with ssh removed, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it minetest /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data 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 the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

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

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

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

Logs and shell

To monitor the logs of the container in realtime docker logs -f minetest.
Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it minetest /bin/bash
