This is a simple docker container for Mojang's bedrock server software.

The startup script will download and unpack the server software from Mojang's site. Update the link in the docker-compose.yml file to get the latest version.

Copy the server.properties.default file to server.properties and edit it to your preferences. You can put an existing Bedrock world file in the data/worlds folder and point to it using the level-name= setting in the server.properties file.

Build the docker image first. Change to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run:

docker build -t bedrock_server .

If you are used to using docker-compose, you may be used to using docker-compose up don't do this here, because you want to attach to the server with an interactive session.

Instead, use:

docker-compose run --service-ports --rm bedrock_server

This will also remove the container after running. Run docker-compose down to remove the remaining network setup. --service-ports is required to expose the ports when using run. This command is in the startserver.sh file for convenience.
