Docker Container Management comes to Minecraft #Dockercon

BARCELONA, Spain – After two days of demos and talks, the final demo on the final day of Dockercon EU WAS one of the single most entertaining demos I have ever seen at any conference was shown.

Dockercraft.

NO, that’s not just running Minecraft inside of Docker (that’s easy, I’ve done that for a few years), this is running Minecraft inside of Docker, with an integrated Docker management system. That’s right you can manage Docker containers inside the Minecraft 3D block world.

Not just container status either, but actual real control – as in starting and stopping contatiners too.

Going a step further, using the Oculus Rift VR headset it’s possible to navigate inside of Minecraft in full virtual reality.

Simply put, Dockercraft helps you to manage your containesr while playing minecraft, it’s awesome, it’s real and it’s open source and available now at:

github.com/docker/dockercraft

Got ‘git’ it.
