feat: docker compose

[heggland]

While setting up my server again, I created a docker compose file for my own server using your dockerfile.

I have some other ideas in mind to implement on my own server- if one downloads the paper server .jar file on the server and place it in the directory- then the dockerfile will copy it to the container, if the bash script finds a .jar file then it uses that one- skipping the download from papermc.

Below is a brief documentation for Docker Compose, which can be included either in the main README.md file or in a separate
.md file

Docker compose

This is a simple setup for running a PaperMC Minecraft server using docker compose.
This docker Compose configuration stores a persistent volume alongside the server data in the specified directory. To switch to Docker's volume management, edit the docker-compose file, remove the relative path under volumes: ./papermc:/papermc to papermc:/papermc

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup

1. Generate a .env file with the following command:

• echo -e "MC_VERSION=latest\nPAPER_BUILD=latest\nEULA=true\nMC_RAM=2G\nJAVA_OPTS=" > .env
• modify these values if needed

2. Run

• docker-compose up -d

Docker Compose Commands

To build the server:

• docker-compose build

To run the server:

• docker-compose up -d

To stop the server:

• docker-compose down

View the server logs:

To view the server logs, run one of the following commands:

• docker logs <container-name> -f
• docker-compose logs -f - requires you to go into the papermc directory
