------
We provide Minetest server docker images using the Gitlab mirror registry.
Images are built on each commit and available using the following tag scheme:
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:latest` (latest build)
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<branch/tag>` (current branch or current tag)
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<commit-id>` (current commit id)
If you want to test it on a docker server, you can easily run:
sudo docker run registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<docker tag>
If you want to use it in a production environment you should use volumes bound to the docker host
to persist data and modify the configuration:
sudo docker create -v /home/minetest/data/:/var/lib/minetest/ -v /home/minetest/conf/:/etc/minetest/ registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:master
Data will be written to `/home/minetest/data` on the host, and configuration will be read from `/home/minetest/conf/minetest.conf`.
Note: If you don't understand the previous commands, please read the official Docker documentation before use.
