During a twitter conversation with itzg, he suggested that I use [docker's built in --restart="unless-stopped" runtime flag] (https://gist.github.com/itzg/36e59186f6195a445f1f1fa2b0087ea9). That worked a treat and means I don't need to maintain an extra service.
This is only retained for historic record. Don't follow these steps.
If you want to run a minecraft server in a docker container on Ubuntu 16.04 and have it automatically start at boot, follow these steps:
| // quick hack job by @mmalex | |
| // thanks to libhid author and @johndrinkwater and https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv | |
| #include <stdio.h> | |
| #include "hidapi.h" // using http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/ | |
| typedef unsigned char u8; | |
| typedef unsigned short u16; | |
| typedef unsigned int u32; | |
| #pragma pack(push, 1) |
| // c++ -o nanoexr nanoexr.cpp && ./nanoexr /tmp/foo.exr | |
| #include <cstdio> | |
| // writes a tiled OpenEXR file from a float RGB buffer | |
| struct Exr { | |
| FILE* f; enum{TS=64}; ~Exr() { fclose(f); } | |
| void B(unsigned char i) { fputc(i,f); } | |
| void I(unsigned int i) { fwrite(&i,1,4,f); } | |
| void L(unsigned long long i) { fwrite(&i,1,8,f); } | |
| void F(float x) { fwrite(&x,1,4,f); } |
