Pure-FTPd is a free (BSD), secure, production-quality and standard-conformant FTP server. It doesn't provide useless bells and whistles, but focuses on efficiency and ease of use. It provides simple answers to common needs, plus unique useful features for personal users as well as hosting providers.
PureFTPd‘s mantra is ‘Security First.’ This is evident in the low number of CVE entries.
To run Pure-FTPd server just start the container:
docker run -d -p 21:21 -p 30000-30009:30000-30009 instrumentisto/pure-ftpdThis is for PASV support, please see: #5 PASV not fun :)
By default it uses default configuration file /etc/pure-ftpd.conf.
-
You may either specify your own configuration file instead.
docker run -d -p 21:21 \ -v $(pwd)/my.conf:/etc/pure-ftpd.conf \ instrumentisto/pure-ftpd -
Or specify command line options directly.
docker run -d -p 21:21 instrumentisto/pure-ftpd \ pure-ftpd -c 50 -E -H -R -
Or even specify another configuration file.
docker run -d -p 21:21 \ -v $(pwd)/my.conf:/my/pure-ftpd.conf \ instrumentisto/pure-ftpd \ pure-ftpd /my/pure-ftpd.conf
This image uses PureDB for virtual FTP accounts.
It's just enough to mount /etc/pureftpd.passwd file, which will be converted into /etc/pureftpd.pdb file on container start.
Location of .passwd file may be changed with PURE_PASSWDFILE env var. Location of .pdb file may be changed with PURE_DBFILE env var.
To generate pureftpd.passwd you may use pure-pw binary contained in image:
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/my.passwd:/etc/pureftpd.passwd --entrypoint sh \
instrumentisto/pure-ftpd \
pure-pw useradd joe -u 90 -d /data/joeThis image is based on the popular Alpine Linux project, available in the alpine official image. Alpine Linux is much smaller than most distribution base images (~5MB), and thus leads to much slimmer images in general.
This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use musl libc instead of glibc and friends, so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See this Hacker News comment thread for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.

Once built, it's never updated.
As far as Pure-FTPd writes its logs only to syslog, the syslogd process runs inside container as second side-process and is supervised with s6 supervisor provided by s6-overlay project.
The syslogd process of this image is configured to write everything to /dev/stdout.
To change this behaviour just mount your own /etc/syslog.conf file with desired log rules.
This image contains s6-overlay inside. So you may use all the features it provides if you need to.
