Connect to https://launchermeta.mojang.com:443 failed: Connection timed out

[mrcaidev]

I started the container with default options by docker run -d -it -p 25565:25565 -e EULA=TRUE itzg/minecraft-server, and was constantly checking the health status with docker container inspect -f "{{.State.Health.Status}}". After a period of starting, it shows unhealthy; and when I type docker logs, it shows logs like:

[init] Running as uid=1000 gid=1000 with /data as 'drwxrwxr-x 2 1000 1000 4096 Feb  3 04:28 /data'
[mc-image-helper] 17:31:39.015 ERROR : Operation failed: Connect to https://launchermeta.mojang.com:443 [launchermeta.mojang.com/13.226.223.20] failed: Connection timed out
[init] ERROR: version lookup failed: 

I tried 3 times and it all shows connection timeout. Seems that this is a network problem, but everything goes well when I visit Internet...

Any idea about this problem? Or is there any other ways to download server resources myself and skip downloading when starting container?

It sounds like a networking problem in your docker installation and/or firewall. If the container can't connect to Mojang then several steps after that are going to fail too.

If your host has no network connectivity then you can use TYPE=CUSTOM and provide a pre downloaded server jar...but if networking is not working then defeats the purpose of a server.

Hi, I'm getting a similar error that i've been banging my head over for a while

i'm not sure if it's network related and if it's my end or where i'm trying to pull the image

Yours is only similar in that it is encountering an error on the same, initial external network operation.

In your case

Temporary failure in name resolution

indicates that DNS is misconfigured on your system. I would recommend searching around for docker/container DNS configuration ideas.
