Description

I'm still learning about Docker and, well, a lot in general. I recently upgraded the hardware I was running my server on, and in that time Minecraft Bedrock updated to 1.18.20.25, but when I try to get the container it's pulling the previous version. I've been working on this since early yesterday evening and I'm not figuring out what to do. I was going to try and just manually update inside the container using samba and my Windows file explorer, but I don't have permission, and I'm working on learning how to set that up. I saw an older post from someone who had an issue, and they had VERSION=LATEST set up and that fixed their issue. I'm trying that now but having issues. I have pulled the image twice now, previously I used a Docker Compose script that someone had set up and it worked great, and recently when that didn't work for some reason on the newer server hardware I created a docker-compose.yml in Notepad++ and copied the file onto my Ubuntu server into a Minecraft Directory I set up and had Docker create it.

I have dreams of eventually getting many certifications to advance my career, right now I'm a fledgling noob just trying to figure out how to have Minecraft Bedrock on a server that automatically restarts so my friends and family can enjoy when I'm out of town and for some reason the server reboots. Sorry if I need more help than most.

Research direction

Start with the docker-compose.yml copied to the Ubuntu server and the VERSION=LATEST setting, then inspect how the Docker image version is selected. Confirm the container pulls Minecraft Bedrock 1.18.20.25 and restarts after a server reboot.
