Bukkit/Spigot¶
GetBukkit site no longer supports automated downloads
The downloads provider https://getbukkit.org seems to no longer support automated downloads. As such, it is highly recommended to switch to Paper instead since it is actively maintained and fully compatible with Bukkit/Spigot plugins.
Run a Bukkit/Spigot server type by setting the environment variable TYPE to "BUKKIT" or "SPIGOT".
If the downloaded server jar is corrupted, set FORCE_REDOWNLOAD to "true" to force a re-download during next container startup. After successfully re-downloading, you should remove that or set to "false".
If you are hosting your own copy of Bukkit/Spigot you can override the download URLs with:
- -e BUKKIT_DOWNLOAD_URL=
- -e SPIGOT_DOWNLOAD_URL=
Note
Some of the VERSION values are not as intuitive as you would think, so make sure to click into the version entry to find the exact version needed for the download. For example, "1.8" is not sufficient since their download naming expects 1.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-latest exactly.
Build from source¶
You can build spigot from source by setting the environment variable BUILD_FROM_SOURCE to "true".
Alternatives¶
Canyon¶
Canyon is a fork of CraftBukkit for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. It includes multiple enhancements whilst also retaining compatibility with old Bukkit plugins and mods as much as possible.
-e VERSION=b1.7.3 -e TYPE=CANYON
Important
Only VERSION=b1.7.3 is supported. Since that version pre-dates the health check mechanism used by this image, that will need to be disabled by setting DISABLE_HEALTHCHECK=true.
Canyon is on a temporary hiatus, so by default the final build from GitHub will be used; however, a specific build number can be selected in some instances by setting CANYON_BUILD, such as
-e CANYON_BUILD=6
-e CANYON_BUILD=26
