minetest-server-docker

A minetest docker image and toolset for comfort setup.

Description

This project aims to automate minetest server deployment.

To be precise, these are the aims:

Fully automated game and mods installation, using description from .env file [done]
Comfort server TUI, detachment and attachment to server console [not done, see notes, 1]

To deploy this server setup, follow these steps:

Clone this repo: git clone https://git.foxarmy.org/leca/minetest-server-docker/
Copy sample environment file and edit it to your needs: cp sample.env .env && nano .env.
Execute installation script. It will download game and mods you specified in .env file.
Build docker image and launch it: docker-compose up --build
Read logs and ensure that everything works properly. If everything's ok, stop the container and start it detached: docker-compose up -d

As far as I can see, minetesetserver --terminal is a kind of poor working thing, I couldnt get it to work under both tmux and just docker. I think someone needs to rewrite minetest's server TUI (maybe me)
