Web UI or Console on Unraid

[BorgusBorg]

New to unraid and docker, set up an unraid server and have had Minecraft running nicely for a while now. Only thing I can't figure out is how to access the Server/Admin console so I can put in commands (for example). I can see live logs by using the logs item in the context menu in unraid, but I can't interact, and I can open the docker console, but that doesn't let me connect to rcon-cli. What i'd like is to be able to use the "web UI" option from the context menu like my other dockers to access the server/admin console, to let me see the logs live as well as to pass commands to the server without being in-game.

Let me know what, if any, info you need from me to help out please.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the Unraid interface, so I was wondering if you could provide a screenshot of what it gives you when choosing the docker console?

Hi, I attached what I think you are looking for?

When I try and connect to the rcon in that console, I get this in the logs (I had tried many times in a row here, not just the one time like above)

as well as my docker setup

If I try and access the webUI, I get the same error in the logs and it never loads.

Thanks, yes that helped. That is an usual behavior for the console, but then it seems like each of the NAS vendors each re-invent parts of Docker.

It looks like their console is not propagating the environment variables, which is actually a reasonable security measure. You can pass the rcon password on the command as

rcon-cli --password <password>

Hi itzg,

Thank you for taking the time to respond and look into this. I just tried this with no luck unfortunately.

Would you have any other thoughts by any chance?

Thanks!

I figured it out - I had set a different password in server.properties than I had in the docker setup, because the docker doesn't overwrite the server properties, the password I was using was the wrong one! This thread of yours helped me out! https://gitter.im/itzg/dockerfiles?at=5c55c5c878e1ed4103ce811b

My next step is trying to figure out how to get the interactive/color console, would you have any thought on that?

That will mainly depend on Unraid's support of the equivalent of docker attach.
