Bedrock Server: Attaching to ./bedrock_server process

[andrewkeithly]

First of all – thanks for creating this! What a cool way to learn about Azure and how to provision with Terraform.

I know Java Minecraft utilizes RCON to issue commands directly to server. With the container running the ./bedrock_server on boot – I don't see a way to attach to the server process to issue any CLI. I suppose we could start the process in a tmux or screen? Not sure if you have any ideas on this. I tried killing the process so that I could manually start it attached but that immediately restarts the container (duh 🤦🏻‍♂️)

worth noting azure cli does provide a way to "attach" process via az container attach but this is just basically following the log. It doesn't allow you to issue commands like you might by attaching to a docker container

That's a bummer their attach doesn't attach in the same way as a local container. IMHO, seems redundant with the logs command. There's a trick I found with the Java server container using a pipe, so I'll see if I can do similar with this one.

I have written an issue for the upstream enhancement I'll need to make: itzg/entrypoint-demoter#8
