linuxserver/minetest
Minetest (server) is a near-infinite-world block sandbox game and a game engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft, and the like.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/minetest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker
docker create \
--name=minetest \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-e CLI_ARGS="--gameid minetest" `#optional` \
-p 30000:30000/udp \
-v <path to data>:/config/.minetest \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/minetest
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2"
services:
minetest:
image: linuxserver/minetest
container_name: minetest
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
- CLI_ARGS="--gameid minetest" #optional
volumes:
- <path to data>:/config/.minetest
ports:
- 30000:30000/udp
restart: unless-stopped
Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Ports (-p
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
30000/udp |
Port Minetest listens on. |
Environment Variables (-e
)
Env | Function |
---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
CLI_ARGS="--gameid minetest" |
Optionally specify any CLI variables you want to launch the app with |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config/.minetest |
Where minetest stores config files and maps etc. |
User / Group Identifiers
When using 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 any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Application Setup
You can find the world maps, mods folder and config files in /config/.minetest.
Client and server must be the same version, please browse the tags here to pull the appropriate version for your server:
https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/minetest/tags
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it minetest /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f minetest
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' minetest
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/minetest
