### Rcon
### RCON
To use rcon use the `ENABLE_RCON` and `RCON_PASSWORD` variables.
The default RCON password is _"minecraft",_ but it's **highly** recommended to override that.
By default rcon port will be `25575` but can easily be changed with the `RCON_PORT` variable.
RCON is **enabled by default** to allow for graceful shut down the server and coordination of save state during backups. RCON can be disabled by setting `ENABLE_RCON` to "false".
docker run -d -e ENABLE_RCON=true -e RCON_PASSWORD=testing
The default password is "minecraft" but **change the password before deploying into production** by setting `RCON_PASSWORD`.
**DO NOT MAP THE RCON PORT EXTERNALLY** unless you aware of all the consequences and have set a **secure password** with `RCON_PASSWORD`.
> Mapping ports (`-p` command line or `ports` in compose) outside the container and docker networking needs to be a purposeful choice. Most production Docker deployments do not need any of the Minecraft ports mapped externally from the server itself.
By default, the server listens for RCON on port 25575 within the container. It can be changed with `RCON_PORT` but only do this if you have a very good reason. **DO NOT change `rcon.port` via `server.properties`** or integrations will break.
