This image is meant for running something like a public read-only share. User accounts are not supported and all data access is meant to be read only via ftp anonymous login.
View my included docker-compose.yml for a runtime configuration example or check the below one-liner for a quick launch!
docker run -d -p 20-21:20-21 -p 65500-65515:65500-65515 -v /tmp:/var/ftp:ro inanimate/vsftpd-anon
There are a series of available variables you can tune at your own discretion. The defaults are most likely acceptable for most use cases.
ANON_ROOT- The directory in the container which vsftpd will serve out (default:/var/ftp)MAX_PORT- The maximum port for pasv communiation (default:65515)MIN_PORT- The minimum port for pasv communication (default:65500)MAX_PER_IP- The maximum connections from one host (default:2)MAX_LOGIN_FAILS- Maximum number of login failures before kicking (default:2)MAX_CLIENTS- Maximum number of simultaneously connected clients (default:50)MAX_RATE- Maximum bandwidth allowed per client in bytes/sec (default:6250000)FTPD_BANNER- An ftpd banner displayed when a client connects (default:Welcome to an awesome public FTP Server)
- Ensure you use :ro at the end of your bind mount declaration!
- We utilize ftp passive mode so we can define the ports we need and not have to use
--net=host. This is the preferred way to use ftp! - You can find some great documentation on configuration options and other vsftpd information on the Archwiki and in the man page
