Speaking of multiple servers, it's handy to give your containers explicit names using `--name`, such as
docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name minecraft-vanilla itzg/minecraft-server
docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name minecraft-default itzg/minecraft-server
With that you can easily view the logs, stop, or re-start the container:
docker logs -f minecraft-vanilla
docker logs -f minecraft-default

docker stop minecraft-vanilla
docker stop minecraft-default
docker start minecraft-vanilla
docker start minecraft-default
