title: With Docker
---
[RCON](http://wiki.vg/RCON) is enabled by default, so you can `exec` into the container to
access the Minecraft server console:
```
docker exec -i mc rcon-cli
```
Note: The `-i` is required for interactive use of rcon-cli.
To run a simple, one-shot command, such as stopping a Minecraft server, pass the command as arguments to `rcon-cli`, such as:
```
docker exec mc rcon-cli stop
```
_The `-i` is not needed in this case._
## When RCON is disabled
If rcon is disabled you can send commands by passing them as arguments to the packaged `mc-send-to-console` script after setting the env var `CREATE_CONSOLE_IN_PIPE` to "true". For example, a player can be op'ed in the container `mc` with:
```shell
docker exec --user 1000 mc mc-send-to-console op player
| |
+- container name +- Minecraft commands start here
```
## Enabling interactive console
In order to attach and interact with the Minecraft server make sure to enable TTY and keep stdin open.
!!! example
With `docker run` use the `-it` arguments:
```shell
docker run -d -it -p 25565:25565 --name mc itzg/minecraft-server
```
or with a compose file:
```yaml
services:
minecraft:
stdin_open: true
tty: true
```
With that you can attach and interact at any time using the following, replacing the `{...}` placeholders.
...when container is created with `docker run`
```
docker attach {container name or ID}
```
...or when declared using a compose file
```
docker compose attach {service name}
```
and then Control-p Control-q to **detach**.
!!! info "RCON is required for fully interactive, color console"
RCON must be enabled, which is the default, in order to use a fully interactive console with auto-completion and colorized log output.

title: With websocket
---
With `WEBSOCKET_CONSOLE` set to `true`, logs can be streamed, and commands sent, over a websocket connection.
The API is available on `/websocket`.
## Password
A password must be supplied using the `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header. This is done by putting `mc-server-runner-ws-v1` in the first slot, and the password in the second. The password can be set with `RCON_PASSWORD` or `WEBSOCKET_PASSWORD`. The latter overwrites the former. Authentication can be disabled with `WEBSOCKET_DISABLE_AUTHENTICATION`.
??? Example "Examples"
```js title="JavaScript example"
let socket = new WebSocket("http://localhost:80/websocket", ["mc-server-runner-ws-v1", "rcon-password"]);
```
## Allowed origins
A list of comma-separated allowed origins should be supplied with `WEBSOCKET_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`. Origin checking can be disabled with `WEBSOCKET_DISABLE_ORIGIN_CHECK`.
## Listen address
The listen address and port can be set with `WEBSOCKET_ADDRESS` (defaults to `0.0.0.0:80`), but it's recommended to listen on all interfaces when running in Docker.
## Log history
When a connection is established, the last 50 (by default, configurable with `WEBSOCKET_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE`) log lines are sent with a `logHistory` type message.
??? tip "Tip: Remember to forward the websocket port on the host"
```yaml title="compose.yaml"
services:
mc:
ports:
- '25565:25565'
- '80:80'
```
## Environment variables
| Environment Variable | Usage | Default |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| `WEBSOCKET_CONSOLE` | Allow remote shell over websocket | `false` |
| `WEBSOCKET_ADDRESS` | Bind address for websocket server | `0.0.0.0:80` |
| `WEBSOCKET_DISABLE_ORIGIN_CHECK` | Disable checking if origin is trusted | `false` |
| `WEBSOCKET_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | Comma-separated list of trusted origins | ` ` |
| `WEBSOCKET_PASSWORD` | Password will be the same as RCON_PASSWORD if unset | ` ` |
| `WEBSOCKET_DISABLE_AUTHENTICATION` | Disable websocket authentication | `false` |
| `WEBSOCKET_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE` | Number of log lines to save and send to connecting clients | `50` |
