RCON is enabled by default, so you can exec
into the container to
access the Minecraft server console:

is required for interactive use of rcon-cli.
To run a simple, one-shot command, such as stopping a Minecraft server, pass the command as arguments to rcon-cli
, such as:

Enabling interactive console¶
In order to attach and interact with the Minecraft server make sure to enable TTY and keep stdin open.

or with a compose file:
With that you can attach and interact at any time using
docker attach mc
and then Control-p Control-q to detach.
RCON is required for fully interactive, color console
RCON must be enabled, which is the default, in order to use a fully interactive console with auto-completion and colorized log output.
