Forge server with Docker

[Sunser]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a forge server using docker, but it doesn't work.

- I've used the forge installer on the path of the directory I'm working in.

- "java -jar forge.jar" is working in the console.

- I get this error message when I'm trying to run it with docker :

We appear to be missing one or more essential library files.
You will need to add them to your server before FML and Forge will run successfully.java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch

- I think I've added all useful files in my Docker image, but it seems I'm wrong. This is my Dockerfile :

- The ls -la libraries shows this, so I guess libraries are not the problem :

If anyone know what I missed or did wrong, please help me.

Rather than add the files from your .minecraft folder it would be best to do it from a separate contained server instance created using the forge installer.

 

Also, I'm not that familiar with Docker so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything but I don't see you changing to the minecraft dir before running the forge jar.

 

Is there a chance that the forge jar is in the root of the image and not in the sub folder, hence not being able to find the library folder?
