Pocketmine for Docker

This is an implementation of the Pocketmine LAN server for allowing [Minecraft-PE Kindle and IOS clients] to play. This is running the latest version of pocketmine to support the 2.0.0 API to the client protocol that Minecraft-PE uses. This was original under nmarus/docker-pocketmine but his version does not work on kids kindles which is what this is for

To run pocketmine as a docker container:

docker run -d -it -p 19132:19132/tcp -p 19132:19132/udp --name pocketmine magicalyak/pocketmine This creates a new container from the repository, names the container "pocketmine", downloads the latest development build of pocketmine, and maps the ports for client access to the local host. This is not recommend as you will lose your configuration file when th container stops and starts.

The recommended way is to utilize a local directory that is external to the container for your configuration files. This will allow persistent configuration if you remove the container, or if you wish to edit the configuration files manually and restart pocketmine. To do this, first create a foler on the host where you wish to store these:

mkdir /srv/pocketmine Then run the container with these added option:

docker run -d -it -p 19132:19132/tcp -p 19132:19132/udp -v /srv/pocketmine:/data --name pocketmine magicalyak/pocketmine To start the container:

If the container is stoped (run "docker ps -a" to verify), and you wish to start it, run:

docker start pocketmine To stop the container:

If you wish to stop the container in order to rebvoot the host os or updaet configuration files, run:

docker stop pocketmine To interact with pocketmine administration:

docker attach pocketmine This allows you to jump into the pocketmine administration session. Type "help" for options. If you enter the command "stop", this will end pocket mine and stop the container. To restart pocketmine with our stopping the container, enter "restart" in the pocket mine admin session.

To exit the admistration interface, press control-p, control-q. This is in order to maintain the container in service.

To view the logs in realtime run:

docker logs -l pocketmine This allows you to view the logs generated from the pocketmine server in a "tail -f" type format.

Press control-c to exit

To update minecraft pe to latest version:

Simply stop the pocketmine container and then start it. the latest version of pocketmine will be downloaded.

This assumes you are mapping your configuration to a directory external to the container. If not, you will lose your world...

docker stop pocketmine docker start pocketmine
