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.
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 | arm32v6-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=1001 \
-e PGID=1001 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-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=1001
- PGID=1001
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- <path to data>:/config/.minetest
ports:
- 30000:30000/udp
mem_limit: 4096m
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=1001 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1001 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
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=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(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
