MinecraftDockerCLI 0.8.0

CLI tool to enhance and simplify containerization of Minecraft servers

MinecraftDockerCLI

Set up your Minecraft network blazingly fast

MinecraftDockerCLI is a python CLI application to allow minecraft server admins to set up in a fast and easy way a server or a network using docker containers. MinecraftDockerCLI is orientated towards minecraft server admins that administrate networks, since a single server cannot fully use the advantages of Docker containers. Docker containers make minecraft networks easier and cleaner because of how docker containers work and intercomunicate on the same machine.
