## What is it? And can I eat it?

First: No, you can't eat it. But you can use it as a dockerized variant of the [JTS3ServerMod](https://www.stefan1200.de/forum/index.php?topic=2.0).  
JTS3ServerMod is a fairly perfect bot for your TeamSpeak server – written in Java. Because some people need/want a Docker image and the original author Stefan1200 does not provide one, I am here to help you.

## Supported architectures

- linux/amd64
- linux/arm/v7
- linux/arm/v6
- linux/arm64/v8

## Running the image

You can run the image as any other image, it automatically exposes the required minimum volume with the config files. For more details how to configure the JTS3ServerMod, please see its official docs, either by mapping the _documents_ volume or by visiting [its online documentation](https://www.stefan1200.de/documentation/jts3servermod/readme.html).

### Possible volume mapping

| Volume    | Path in the container      | Description                                                                                                 |
| --------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| config    | `/JTS3ServerMod/config`    | Config files                                                                                                |
| documents | `/JTS3ServerMod/documents` | Documentation files of the bot + original _changelog.txt_ and _readme.txt_ (+german variant)                |
| plugins   | `/JTS3ServerMod/plugins`   | Additional plugins can be uploaded in this directory - please follow the original docs of the JTS3ServerMod |

### Examples

#### A container with named volumes and a given name

```
docker run --name jts3servermod-dockerized -v jts3_config:/JTS3ServerMod/config -v jts3_documents:/JTS3ServerMod/documents -v jts3_plugins:/JTS3ServerMod/plugins nickslowinski/jts3servermod-dockerized:dev
```

#### A container with mounted volumes and a given name

```
docker run --name jts3servermod-dockerized -v /some/path/on/host/jts3_config:/JTS3ServerMod/config -v /some/path/on/host/jts3_documents:/JTS3ServerMod/documents -v /some/path/on/host/jts3_plugins:/JTS3ServerMod/plugins nickslowinski/jts3servermod-dockerized:dev
```

## Common issues

### The container stops immediately after starting

If the log looks something like the following, **then this does not mean that the image is defective!** You have to configure the bot and restart it, as long as you have not made any errors in the configuration, the bot will start successfully.

```
JTS3ServerMod 6.5.7 (31.01.2020) Instance Manager started...

### Error loading JTS3ServerMod InstanceManager configuration file

Example log:

```
JTS3ServerMod 6.5.7 (31.01.2020) Instance Manager started...
Operating System : Linux (version: 5.10.17-v8+ / arch: aarch64)
Used Java Version: 1.8.0_282 (path: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8-openjdk/jre)
Current directory: /JTS3ServerMod
Writing InstanceManager log file to: /JTS3ServerMod/JTS3ServerMod_InstanceManager.log
JTS3ServerMod InstanceManager configuration file does not exists, check file path:
/JTS3ServerMod/config/JTS3ServerMod_InstanceManager.cfg
Error while loading the JTS3ServerMod InstanceManager config file, read error messages above to know more. Quitting now...
```

So far, this error could always be traced back to outdated software versions. To fix this error, you only need to update the system, including Docker and its dependencies. If the error still occurs after a successful update and a subsequent system restart, please [create a ticket](https://git.nick-slowinski.de/NickSlowinski/JTS3ServerMod-dockerized/issues/new).

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Are you planning to release images for other architectures?

Not for now, but if somebody requests another architecture (via the issue tracker), I will look into it, what I can do.

### Why do you use openjdk8 and not 11?

I want to keep the image as small as possible, therefor OpenJDK 8 was chosen over 11. As long as OpenJDK 8 is supported and is sufficient for this project, it will be used.

### Is the JTS3ServerMod Hosting Edition supported?

Not at the moment. I can build an image for it (Stefan1200 exposes the downloads for it), but there is no way I could test it because I do not have a license key for it.
