I came to this video looking for a quick way to spin up a Minecraft server to test my new hardware and I left with a deeper understanding of docker cli. Thank you
really appreciated this video. Simple, easy to follow, and not super complicated assuming viewer already knows everything. I especially love the captions!!!
I love this series bc I am trying to start a server but also interested in learning containerization and docker. I'm on mac but am following along well. Thanks!
hey this is awesome! i love software dev, sysadmin things, and minecraft in general and it's really nice seeing someone try to help other people get into the space, specifically around Minecraft so I'm glad you made this video! side note, but the github repo in the description is either private or the link is broken
@@jadelily18 it depends on the content of the contribution, but yes I welcome it. If you find some edge cases or troubleshooting steps needed for particular situations I would especially welcome that!
I'm attempting to run this on a standard user account, although I have access to the local admin account. I'm using a standard user for more security, but I suspect this may cause some issues. Firstly, after installing WSL it would not launch, I had to (from a standard user powershell) run "wsl --install -d ubuntu" and THEN WSL would launch. I'll add any other issues I face running this as a standard user...unless this fails miserably for me lol
Hi, first of all great series. I have encountered a problem that i dont know how to fix. i believe it has something to do with my firewall. Im trying to connect to the localhost:25565 but i haven´t been able to do so. so far i´ve tried to allow connections to and from the port 25565 on that pc, to connect to the ip directly, and i have tried to open the port on my router but nothing
when connecting to localhost, i believe the router settings means nothing. on my end, i cant connect to the localhost:2556 because of the free minecraft, i confirmed these when i try connecting to the localhost:2556 using my not free minecraft.
@@Stonned16 I was able to fix the problem. First of all my problem was not exactly the localhost, I was trying to o connect from a different pc on the same lan. So I needed the specific ip for that pc. Also i was trying to run it on a docker container on an arch based system (docker needs to be manually installed and configured on arch based systems and I made a mistake on the configuration) after instaling ubuntu, also It was a weird way in which my router works but i had to look the IP on it and connect to it using the port
Hello , i'm beginner with docker ,i tried to deploy a minecraft server to play with friends. can i put the containers in my "local network" instead localhost ??
I have a docker Minecraft server running on a Linux machine that I set up using another tutorial. I was wondering if you would be able to help me install mods on it. I watched a good portion of the second video in this series about installing mods but I'm not familiar with docker at all so I don't know if I can apply the same commands your using on my Linux machine. Thank you!
Interesting series but, unless its in video 3-5, you never show us how to get other people, I.E. other computers, to connect to the server to play with us. Would be a great help if you or someone could reply because I can't find a solution anywhere else on the internet and would rather not have to start over with a different method. Yes, I have port forwarding enabled.
Hey! I won’t make a video just for that, but if you follow the part of the video centered around docker volume mounting you can mount your own server properties file.
Is it possible to host the docker server from a user without admin privileges? I'd like it to be more secure when port forwarding. Sorry if that's covered in a future video
I’m sure there’s a way on windows to install docker without admin permissions, but I have never tried this. On a Linux based distro it’s possible to lock it down for sure.

Thank you so much man I'm not great at programming and this video helped me lots to understand Docker, concise helpful and informative
You sir get a subscribe from me
Great stuff 😊
Absolutely perfect guide! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful tutorial, even for someone who uses docker on the daily!
I can't seem to get it running. Keep getting a 'Failed to start minecraft server' error.
I k now it's old but at the "docker compose up -d" I get "Service volume services.minecraft.volumes. (0) is missing mount target" Any idea?
great video series
I think I’ve hit .5k of your stats at this point. Any chance of a video on optimizing windows for a server role? Or adding a bedrock server?

localhost just resolves to the IP of your PC. You can port forward like you normally would for a minecraft server that is not running in docker.
Amazing !!!

You've port forwarded 25565? If it still doesn't work, check your firewall to ensure the port isn't blocked by Windows or something.
buen video, gracias, saludos!
could you show how to edit the server properties files? When I change something in it the server crashes on boot.

how do i put commands to minecraft server?

@@TheSudo I actually got it to work eventually using rootless docker. No gui but your command line tutorial points helped
cant fix empty compose file what to do?
I believe you just needed to save the docker-compose.yml file
if only there was tutorial on hosting this docker minecraft server as a multiplayer server without port forwarding
