chroot all users

[ftison]

I'm starting to use unFTP to create an FTP service whose user base is driven by a directory accessible by HTTP/REST.
The unftp-auth-rest setting is perfect for this and works very well.
Now I can't find a way to put all users in their home directory. Like the chroot_local_user parameter for vsftpd.
I wanted to use the pub root: Option<PathBuf> attribute, but there is a difference between the settings that are read in the users.json file and what is read by unftp-auth-rest.
I figure that authentication could return the user details, or another service could return the user details. I see there is some interesting work in progress in the origin/hannes/usrdetail-http branch.

Perhaps there is already a way that I missed to systematically place all users in a home directory corresponding to their username?

Thank you for this project which inspires me a lot and makes me want to contribute.

Hi @ftison , thank you for the kind words.

See if the Per-User Settings here helps: https://unftp.rs/server/jsonconfig

Thank you for your response.
I saw the possibility of the configuration file per user.
But, I want to configure the FTP service only by environment variables or API calls (no files).
I am studying the possibility of adding a parameter to chroot all users like vsftpd does, for example.
I would suggest creating a chroot-all-users parameter (UNFTP_CHROOT_ALL_USERS) with the choice YES or NO (NO by default). If this interests you, I would like to contribute in this direction in addition to the very flexible settings for each user.

So the work in the origin/hannes/usrdetail-http gives you what is explained in https://unftp.rs/server/jsonconfig but over and HTTP interface. Perhaps you want to try it out and if it works I can accelerate a release.

As for the chroot-all-users. There is work for sandboxing technology being built in libunftp so I have to think how your suggestion would fit into this.

I have build errors, I will open a new discussion on this subject.
