To use a different Minecraft version, pass the `VERSION` environment variable (case sensitive), which can have the value
|
|
|
|
- LATEST (the default)
|
|
- SNAPSHOT
|
|
- or a specific version, such as "1.7.9"
|
|
|
|
For example, to use the latest snapshot:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -d -e VERSION=SNAPSHOT ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or a specific version:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -d -e VERSION=1.7.9 ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When using "LATEST" or "SNAPSHOT" an upgrade can be performed by simply restarting the container.
|
|
During the next startup, if a newer version is available from the respective release channel, then
|
|
the new server jar file is downloaded and used.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
|
|
Over time you might see older versions of the server jar remain in the `/data` directory. It is safe to remove those.
