running docker compose up -d exampleService will activate a container that tries to look for the nightly specified in the VERSION environment variable. If an artifact associated with said nightly is found and the attached volume does not have a server under /server/VERSION it will download and extract both zip files. It will then add eula=true to eula.txt and run startserver-java9.sh and an sshd server. The container will create a console1024 user under which you can connect to sftp on the 2222 port.

Requires a github access token to be defined in secret.txt and an ssh key located under ftp_key.pub, both located in the same directory as compose.yaml

The downloading process is skipped if there's a server in that location.

To edit the container find its name with docker ps, then run docker attach [NAME] if you want to access the console, or docker exec -it [NAME] bash to access the container itself. The server should be located under /server/data

Root image is alpine:3.21.3 (tags prior to 1.1.3 use fedora:41)
