spigot-server

A spigot Minecraft server built in a docker container with volumes mapped to the local filesystem.

Server Quickstart

Get started with some defaults out of the box with the following command, or use my Spigot Server Controller script for some pre-configured commands out of the box.

docker run \
    -it \
    --name spigot-server \
    -d \
    -v path/to/dir/minecraft-files:/opt/minecraft \
    -v /path/to/dir/minecraft-data:/var/lib/minecraft \
    -p 0.0.0.0:25565:25565 \
    -e DEFAULT_OP=notch \
    -e MINECRAFT_EULA=true \
    -e MINECRAFT_VERSION=1.12.2 \
    -e MOTD='A Spigot Minecraft Server' \
    -e MAX_PLAYERS=10 \
    sk33lz/spigot-server:latest

Start a Server with Rcon

Rcon is disabled by default as it is a security risk for your server if not secured properly.

Replace DEFAULT_OP=notch with your Minecraft username.

Add -e ENABLE_RCON=true \ to the docker run command to enable rcon on the server.

You will also need to add an rcon.password with -e RCON_PASSWORD=CHANGE_ME! \

Replace CHANGE_ME! in the previous statement and the example code below with a unique very secure password.

Use https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm to generate a unique very secure password.

docker run \
    -it \
    --name spigot-server \
    -d \
    -v path/to/dir/minecraft-files:/opt/minecraft \
    -v /path/to/dir/minecraft-data:/var/lib/minecraft \
    -p 0.0.0.0:25565:25565 \
    -p 0.0.0.0:25575:25575 \
    -e DEFAULT_OP=notch \
    -e MINECRAFT_EULA=true \
    -e MINECRAFT_VERSION=1.12.2 \
    -e ENABLE_RCON=true \
    -e MOTD='A Spigot Minecraft Server' \
    -e MAX_PLAYERS=10 \
    -e RCON_PASSWORD=CHANGE_ME! \
