 ## Minecraft server SPIGIT on Ubuntu 14.04 with openjava 1.8
+[![Docker Hub; nimmis/spigot](https://img.shields.io/badge/dockerhub-nimmis%2Fspigot-green.svg)](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/nimmis/spigot)
 
 This docker image builds and runs the spigot version of minecraft. 
 
 If the spigot.jar is not found in the minecraft directory the system pulls down BuildTool and build a new spigot.jar from the latest
 released minecraft.jar
 
-Updated to work with version 1.9 (thanks Nikdro)
+This is a new version of this container where I have removed the script started at the en and set it up to run spigot as a deamon
+with the help of supervisord. See my Ubuntu container for a more detailed description of my implementation of an init-process in
+ubuntu, se [nimmis/ubuntu](https://hub.docker.com/r/nimmis/ubuntu/)

+- selectable spigot version
+- do a nice shutdown of the server when the docker stop command is issued
+- docker accessable commands to
