Pocketmine Docker Image

Run a pocketmine server in no time. This docker file builds the latest development version of Pocketmine.

Builds will also be tagged with the build number as reported by http://www.pocketmine.net.

To run a Pocketmine server in a docker container

docker pull bartt/pocketmine:latest
docker run -d -p 19132:19132 -p 19132:19132/udp --name pocketmine bartt/pocketmine:latest

You can now connect to the hosts's IP address (or hostname) at Pocketmine's default port: 19132. Both RCON and game play listen on the same port. RCON on the TCP connection and game play on the UDP connection.

To verify that the Pocketmine server started you can request the container's logs:

docker logs pocketmine

Here's typical response:

The server starts by default in survival mode and generates a new world.

Making a RCON connection

To make a RCON connection you'll need to lookup the autogenerated RCON password, which you can find in the server.properties file in the container. You can use a 2nd instance of the bartt/pocketmine image to read the server.properties file:

docker run -it --rm --volumes-from pocketmine bartt/pocketmine cat /pocketmine/server.properties

Now you can use the reported rcon.password to make a RCON connection. For example with mcrcon.
