Sync uses peer-to-peer technology to provide fast, private file sharing for teams and individuals. By skipping the cloud, transfers can be significantly faster because files take the shortest path between devices. Sync does not store your information on servers in the cloud, avoiding cloud privacy concerns.
DATA_FOLDER=/path/to/data/folder/on/the/host
WEBUI_PORT=<port to access the webui on the host>
mkdir -p $DATA_FOLDER
docker run -d --name Sync \

-p 55555/tcp \
-p 55555/udp \

resilio/syncNote: you can use our official Docker image resilio/sync hosted on hub.docker.com or build image locally:
docker build -t dhjensen/sync .
To make sure the base image is updated before building add --pull
docker build --pull -t dhjensen/sync .
Be sure to always run docker container with --restart parameter to allow Docker daemon to handle Sync container (launch at startup as well as restart it in case of failure).
Go to http://localhost:$WEBUI_PORT in a web browser to access the webui.
If you need to run Sync under specific user inside your container - use --user parameter or set PUID and PGID env vars for container.
Running Sync in docker container via docker-compose is described here.
/mnt/sync- folder inside the container that contains the storage folder, configuration file and default download folder
8888- Webui port55555- Listening port (both TCP and UDP) for Sync traffic (you can change it, but in this case change it in Sync settings as well)
Find more info here about ports used by Sync.
If you do not want to limit the access to the webui, do not specify localhost address in -p parameter:
docker run -d --name Sync \
-p $WEBUI_PORT:8888 \
-p 55555/tcp \
-p 55555/udp \
-v $DATA_FOLDER:/mnt/sync \
--restart on-failure \
resilio/sync
If you need to mount extra directories, mount them in /mnt/mounted_folders:
docker run -d --name Sync \
-p 127.0.0.1:$WEBUI_PORT:8888 \
-p 55555/tcp \
-p 55555/udp \
-v $DATA_FOLDER:/mnt/sync \
-v <OTHER_DIR>:/mnt/mounted_folders/<DIR_NAME> \
-v <OTHER_DIR2>:/mnt/mounted_folders/<DIR_NAME2> \
--restart on-failure \
resilio/sync
Do not create directories at the root of /mnt/mounted_folders from the Sync webui since they will not be mounted to the host.
