Spigot Docker

Lightweight Minecraft Spigot 1.14 server container

Image size	RAM usage	CPU usage
117MB	500MB	Medium

Based on:

• Alpine Linux 3.9
• OpenJDK JRE 8

Setup

Use the following command:

docker run -d --name=spigot -p 25565:25565/tcp \
-v ./spigot:/spigot -e ACCEPT_EULA=true qmcgaw/spigot

or use docker-compose.yml with:

docker-compose up -d

If you have existing server data, simply place it in ./spigot then launch the container.

Environment variables

• ACCEPT_EULA is used to accept the SpigotMC EULA license (required to run the server)
• JAVA_OPTS defaults to -Xms512m -Xmx1800m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC and are options passed to Java to run the Spigot server

TODOs

• Execute commands in server
• Stop server gracefully
• Healthcheck

Other

I recommend using the Hibernate plugin for your Spigot Docker server
