### Compiling and installing the dependencies ### Installing the dependencies
Enter the MSYS2 MinGW-W64 CLI and use *pacman* to install the required libraries, as well as mingw32-make and gcc.
It is highly recommended to use vcpkg as package manager. - **Don't forget about IrrlichtMt.** The easiest way is to clone it to `lib/irrlichtmt`.
After you successfully built vcpkg you can easily install the required libraries:
```powershell
vcpkg install zlib zstd curl[winssl] openal-soft libvorbis libogg libjpeg-turbo sqlite3 freetype luajit gmp jsoncpp opengl-registry --triplet x64-windows
```

Use `--triplet` to specify the target triplet, e.g. `x64-windows` or `x86-windows`. ### Build XtreemTest
Start up the CMake GUI and select the root XtreemTest directory and press *Configure*, select MinGW Makefiles,
### Compile Minetest once it's done configuring click *Generate* and once that's finished go into the root directory and run mingw32-make -j[NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS]
(replace [NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS] with the number of processor cores you have)
#### a) Using the vcpkg toolchain and CMake GUI
1. Start up the CMake GUI
2. Select **Browse Source...** and select DIR/minetest
3. Select **Browse Build...** and select DIR/minetest-build
4. Select **Configure**
5. Choose the right visual Studio version and target platform. It has to match the version of the installed dependencies
6. Choose **Specify toolchain file for cross-compiling**
7. Click **Next**
8. Select the vcpkg toolchain file e.g. `D:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake`
9. Click Finish
10. Wait until cmake have generated the cash file
11. If there are any errors, solve them and hit **Configure**
12. Click **Generate**
13. Click **Open Project**
14. Compile Minetest inside Visual studio.
#### b) Using the vcpkg toolchain and the commandline
Run the following script in PowerShell:
```powershell
cmake . -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_GETTEXT=OFF -DENABLE_CURSES=OFF
cmake --build . --config Release
```
Make sure that the right compiler is selected and the path to the vcpkg toolchain is correct.

Docker
------
We provide Minetest server Docker images using the GitLab mirror registry.
Images are built on each commit and available using the following tag scheme:
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:latest` (latest build)
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<branch/tag>` (current branch or current tag)
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<commit-id>` (current commit id)
If you want to test it on a Docker server you can easily run:
sudo docker run registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<docker tag>
If you want to use it in a production environment you should use volumes bound to the Docker host
to persist data and modify the configuration:
sudo docker create -v /home/minetest/data/:/var/lib/minetest/ -v /home/minetest/conf/:/etc/minetest/ registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:master
Data will be written to `/home/minetest/data` on the host, and configuration will be read from `/home/minetest/conf/minetest.conf`.
**Note:** If you don't understand the previous commands please read the official Docker documentation before use.
You can also host your Minetest server inside a Kubernetes cluster. See our example implementation in [`misc/kubernetes.yml`](misc/kubernetes.yml).
