Create a minecraft server using docker

Create a minecraft server using docker


Creating your own Minecraft server using Docker is a straightforward process, and I'll guide you through it step by step. Before we begin, make sure you have Docker installed and your terminal is logged in as a root user.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Environment

First, let's create a directory named "minecraft" and navigate into it. This directory will hold all the files related to our Minecraft server.




Step 2: Launching the Minecraft Server Container

Now, let's launch a Docker container with the Minecraft server image. This command will create a new container running the Minecraft server in the background.

Let's break down this command:

  • docker run: This tells Docker to create and start a new container.
  • -d: This flag puts the container in "detach" mode, meaning it runs in the background.
  • -it: These flags make the container "interactive" and allocate a "tty" for command-line interaction.
  • -p 25565:25565: This flag maps port 25565 on your local machine to port 25565 inside the container, allowing Minecraft connections.
  • --name mc-server: Assigns the name "mc-server" to the container for easier identification.
  • -e EULA=TRUE: Sets the environment variable EULA to TRUE, indicating agreement to the Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA).
  • itzg/minecraft-server: Specifies the Docker image used to create the container.

Step 3: Starting the Minecraft Server

Now that the container is created, let's start the Minecraft server.

And that's it! Your Minecraft server is up and running, ready for you and your friends to join the adventure. You can connect to it using the IP address of your Docker host machine and port 25565. Enjoy building, exploring, and crafting in your own Minecraft world! 🌍🚀

Phone camera as webcam for computer

 Phone's camera as a webcam for computer  To use your phone's camera as a webcam for your computer, you can use the IP Webcam app on your phone along with OpenCV in Python. The IP Webcam app streams the video from your phone's camera over Wi-Fi, which can be accessed on your computer through its IP address. Step 1: Set Up IP Webcam on Your Phone Install the IP Webcam app : Download and install the IP Webcam app from the Google Play Store. Start the server : Open the app, configure any settings you like (resolution, quality, etc.), and then start the server. It will show an IP address, something like http://192.168.1.100:8080 . Test the stream : Open the IP address shown in your web browser on your computer to verify the stream is working. Step 2: Access the Phone's Camera Stream Using Python and OpenCV Now, let's write a Python script that captures the video feed from your phone's camera. import cv2 # Replace this with your phone's IP address and port ...
