Spigot fails to start: Version Lookup Failed

[jcv8-dev]

Describe the problem

The Docker Container fails to start and keeps restarting over and over. From the logs it seems like the version lookup fails or rather the connection to the mojang server times out. About a week ago it was running just fine.

Container definition

version: "3"

services:
  mc:
    image: itzg/minecraft-server
    container_name: mc
    ports:
      - 25565:25565
    environment:
      EULA: "TRUE"
      MEMORY: "7G"
      TYPE: "SPIGOT"
      DEBUG: "TRUE"
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./minecraft-data:/data

Container logs

This is what I get from docker logs mc with DEBUG="TRUE". With time the log repeats itself.

The image can't do anything about network time outs. Please give it a specific VERSION to work around that.

I tried to do a clean reinstall with a specific version and now I get the following output:

Still looks like networking issues. I'm not sure how my image can fix anything. You can see the curl command it's trying there.

[jcv8-dev]

Yeah, but when I copy the curl command and execute it in the command line it downloads the .jar just fine.

[itzg]

Command line of the host or within the container with entrypoint override? If it's within the container then you need to troubleshoot your docker networking.

HI I have a similar issue. I just use the standard version of the server. This is my compose file.

version: "3"

services:
  minecraft:
    image: itzg/minecraft-server
    container_name: minecraft
    ports:
      - 25565:25565
      - 25575:25575
    environment:
      EULA: "TRUE"
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "/srv/docker/minecraft/1.19:/data"

And I get this error in the Log.

[init] Changing ownership of /data to 1000 ...

Thanks for the help.

[jbb22]

never mind, it was a DNS issue, I just added the DNS to the compose: dns: - 8.8.8.8
