Failed to start the minecraft server

[bradsfoot]

Today I wanted to create a new server using an existing world. In the past, I've done this by using the following command to create the container.

docker run -d -it -p 25565:25565 -e EULA=TRUE itzg/minecraft-server -v C:\Minecraft_Java:/data

After it's created, the container turns on and the console shows it is unpacking a bunch of things and then it errors out and shuts down with the following error.

I can create a container without any issues when I am not pointing it to the volume so I suspect that's my issue but not sure how to fix it so I can play in my world.

Any ideas?

The image name needs to be the last argument on the command line, so move the -v like this

docker run -d -it -p 25565:25565 -e EULA=TRUE -v C:\Minecraft_Java:/data itzg/minecraft-server

That did it. Thank you so much!
