Docker-Minecraft-PaperMC-Server VS docker-minecraft-server

I'm hosting a server through an Ubuntu Server using docker and the following image :https://hub.docker.com/r/marctv/minecraft-papermc-server. I originally had 4G set for the server but have since gained a lot more players and want to allocate more, but I really don't know where to begin with this as for I set that 4G when downloading the image. Almost everything is handled through terminal. If anyone has experience with Ubuntu or this image any advice is apricated.

I'm hosting a mc server with some friends and used marctv's paper mc. A new update is coming out soon and I set the version to 1.19 when I was making it. Does anyone know how to update to a newer version? I'm still new to docker and Ubuntu. Here is the link to the docker page: https://hub.docker.com/r/marctv/minecraft-papermc-server . Any info or advice helps.

This is the server I use: https://hub.docker.com/r/marctv/minecraft-papermc-server. I'm using "latest" version.

I've been running this Docker image as my Minecraft server for years.

Whatever you choose, I would recommend running the the server through docker. This one seems to be the most popular image for minecraft: https://hub.docker.com/r/marctv/minecraft-papermc-server

That looks ok. There is a similar issue reported with this image on ARM64, although it looks like it should have been fixed already. I'm not sure how to get this image working, but you could try a different Docker image if you don't need that one in particular? I use itzg/minecraft-server - you should be able to run it using:

Looks nice! I have a comprehensive docker compose file with itzg’s image [0] repeated a dozen times.

This is just from a quick search: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

I'd like something like this that works with the itzg docker image. I usually have 2-3 servers up and running at any given time for me and my kids to play on. Different modpacks, haven't done anything fancy to manage them except portainer.

I have a nephew who loves minecraft (my fault, I introduced it to him). He plays it on PS4 - which I don't have - and he would like to play it together with me. I live a few thousand kilometers away, so I thought I'd host a server he can join to.I decided to host the server via docker, using itgz's repo. The server is unauthenticated and is exposed to the internet, I can join to it using my java instance.

I think that a better option would be to use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server and then use a networking solution like tailscale or equivalent.

using itzg/docker-minecraft-server to host a curseforge modded server that's running all the mods 8 mod pack, though I might look into pterodactyl for future use!

I'm aware of itzg/docker-minecraft-server: Docker image that provides a Minecraft Server that will automatically download selected version at startup (github.com) which makes things pretty easy, but getting any modpack to work still requires quite a bit of fiddling with environment variables (mods to exclude on the server, java version, mc version, enabling command block, etc). Is there something easier, which doesn't require me to search through issues to find working configurations?

Also, as somebody already mentioned, you could run server in a Docker container. I quickly found this: https://hub.docker.com/r/itzg/minecraft-server. You could look into it. For this you will have to setup Docker, but it should be pretty easy (install and add user to group, check Arch wiki). Docker then creates a small "VM" (without kernel) in which Java is installed to run the server itself.

Server is running latest version of PaperMC using the itzg/docker-minecraft-server image on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Ports 8123 and 25565 of the container are exposed. Dynmap with LiveAtlas is installed in the server's /plugins/ directory and can be accessed through [server IP]:8123.
