Alpine microcontainer with Apache2 and FTP

Based on Docker-alpine-ftp-server and Docker-alpine-apache.

This is a micro docker container based on Alpine OS, Apache version 2 and vsftpd. The aim of this project is to create a public FTP accessible from Apache2, used for public science archives.

There images are build on nimmis/alpine-micro which are a modified version of Alpine OS with a working init process, cron, logrotate and syslog. All services are started by runit daemon, for more information about how it works and setup of new services please visit https://hub.docker.com/r/nimmis/alpine-micro/ for more information.

The container also have a backup system with cron schedule, number of copies to save etc, for information about the backup system please visit the README.md for the backupsystem

starting the container as a daemon

docker run -d --rm --name apache-ftp-server \
					-p 80:80 \
					-p 21:21 \
	        -p 21000-21010:21000-21010 \
	        -e USERS="one|1234" \
	        -e ADDRESS=localhost \
	        acien101/alpine-apache-ftp-server

This will start the container with apache and vsftpd process running, to access the container use

	docker exec -ti apache-ftp-server /bin/sh

If you want to create volumes, the volume folder must be owned by root and have 755 permissions. For example:

# mkdir /vol
# chmod 755 /vol
# chown root:root /vol
# /usr/bin/docker run --rm --name "archive_ftp" \
-v "/vol":/web/html/ftp \
-p "21:21" \
-p "80:80" \
-p "21000-21010:21000-21010" \
-e USERS="one|123|/web/html/ftp/one|4445" \
-e ADDRESS="localhost" \
"acien101/alpine-apache-ftp-server"

FTP Configuration

By default, FTP files are saved on /web/html So you can put your volume there. You can put the home folder on other place, but you have to create a syslink, but docker doesnt support syslinks to volumes.

Environment variables:

• USERS - space and | separated list (optional, default: ftp|alpineftp)
  • format name1|password1|[folder1][|uid1] name2|password2|[folder2][|uid2]
• ADDRESS - external address witch clients can connect passive ports (optional)
• MIN_PORT - minamal port number may be used for passive connections (optional, default 21000)
• MAX_PORT - maximal port number may be used for passive connections (optional, default 21010)
