Speaking of multiple servers, it's handy to give your containers explicit names using `--name`, such as
docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name minecraft-default itzg/minecraft-server
docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name mc itzg/minecraft-server
With that you can easily view the logs, stop, or re-start the container:
docker logs -f minecraft-default
docker logs -f mc
( Ctrl-C to exit logs action )
docker stop minecraft-default
docker stop mc
docker start minecraft-default
docker start mc
## Interacting with the server
In order to attach and interact with the Minecraft server, add `-it` when starting the container, such as
docker run -d -it -p 25565:25565 --name mc itzg/minecraft-server
With that you can attach and interact at any time using
docker attach mc
and then Control-p Control-q to **detach**.
For remote access, configure your Docker daemon to use a `tcp` socket (such as `-H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375`)
and attach from another machine:
docker -H $HOST:2375 attach mc
Unless you're on a home/private LAN, you should use [enable TLS access](https://docs.docker.com/articles/https/).
