Is the Linux version for .32 still beta? I'm asking because I don't see the docker version yet.
Many thanks for any insights

Itīs not about MC being beta or anything like that the builds are just failing for some reason running into 1h timeouts, not sure why yet.
Works fine for this image https://hub.docker.com/r/shiomax/jrivermc
Note that if you wanna try that one now. I would not count on in place upgrades to work. Make a backup and probably also a new "config" folder, restore from the backup.

Thanks Max, I will try that

I managed to get this running. Looks very good. One thing I noticed was that I can no longer access it via VNC. Is there a way to get VNC viewer working again?
Many thanks,
Hans

There is by setting VNC_LISTEN to ALLOW_ALL, then you can access it from anywhere. The main reason that this is currently disabled by default is because there is at this point no way to setup authentication for direct VNC connections in the image. So be aware that anyone that can reach the URL will be able to access VNC without authentication. If you donīt need authentication in your local network you can enable that and if you did make it publically available, just donīt do that for port 5900.
That and making it possible to not setup username / password at all (if desired) are the main two things that are not quite up to par with the previous image. At this point as Im sure you have noticed it forces you to set a username / password combination for the web login.
The other image is updated now too if any of that is a dealbreaker for you.

Thank you so much Max, this is great. I'm only accessing MC locally so 5900 is not open on my router. That should prevent anyone outside the LAN from getting in, right?
I love the new image so I am planning to stick with it. Are you going to maintain them both or make an eventual switch to the new one exclusively?
EDIT: Just updated my container and it works perfectly on VNC now.

Yes, if youīre unsure you can make a wifi hotspot on your phone to test with on a PC/notebook, or download a VNC client on your phone. Its probably pretty unusable on a phone sized screen, but you only have to check if it lets you connect with another internet connection.

Eventually, only the new one is the plan. But no concrete plans when thats gonna be.

Thanks Max, I switched my phone to cellular and VNC Connect was not possible. However, when my phone is connected to WiFi, no problem getting connected.

Yeah, well ofc that would work. Seems to be working then.

Yup, works brilliantly, thank you so much.

Just to confirm that I could update the new image with Portainer, running in Synology docker, again. Thanks very much, Max.
