docker-whminecraft

A very simple way of getting a Minecraft server that all your friends can connect to, powered by Wormhole Network. There's no need to know networking or open ports on any firewalls.

1. Sign up for a free account on Wormhole Network, create a hub and a hub user.

2. Clone this repo on your server.

    git clone https://github.com/pjperez/docker-whminecraft
   
    cd docker-whminecraft
   

3. Download your config and linuxconfig files from Wormhole Network and place them in docker-whminecraft

4. Build docker-whminecraft

    sudo docker build -t wormhole/minecraft .
   

5. Make sure you've created mkdir -p /mnt/docker and run the Docker image. It will automatically connect to your hub in Wormhole Network and show you your server's IP address.

    sudo docker run -t -i --privileged=true -v=/mnt/docker:/data wormhole/minecraft
   

6. Connect your and your friend's machines to your hub in Wormhole Network with the SoftEther client: Windows, Linux.

7. Play multiplayer Minecraft by using direct connect and Wormhole's assigned IP address for the server

The Minecraft server will show clients connected through the overlay network:

It works out of the box on every single hosting, vps and cloud providers. There's no other configuration to be done, anywhere.
