Luanti (Formerly Minetest) Announce Server Issues

General Docker
1

Hey everyone! I’ve been working with the Luanti Docker image to get all my servers running in a neater fashion, but I’ve run into two fairly major issues (mainly because I’m still learning how to use docker).

First, where is the volume /config/.minetest/? (Noob question, probably has some obvious answer. In my compose.yml, its set to the location of my luanti folder: /Secondary/servers/luanti:/config/.minetest/)

Secondly, when I start the server, it never announces the server to the server list. In my minetest.conf, its got the right line in there for announcing the server: announce_server = true

Any help would be apricated, thanks!

according to what you typed it’s in /Secondary/servers/luanti

this sounds like something to ask them directly, we just package their app in a container.

Thanks for your response!

I’ve got a decent amount of experience with Minetest/Luanti, and typically all you have to do is put the announce_server = true into minetest.conf (and for good measure, I also put it in the main-config/minetest.conf file as well, which isn’t standard in a minetest installation), but in this case for some reason it doesn’t work, so I thought it might be related to that.

Could it be because I’m using the docker volume over a pre-installed and configured Luanti server? (The folder that I put /config/.minetest volume was an already a working portable Luanti installation.)

Thanks again,
American Huston

I don’t use the container, but my understanding is map the port , dnat the port, announce in the config. I don’t know any other steps

I’ll post another response here if I can figure out how to fix it, but thanks for you help!
