Anonymous FTP

Anonymous FTP using VSFTPD in Docker.

Note FTP is a very old protocol that does not follow modern patterns. You should be familiar with this protocol before setting up this server, particularly if you need to configure firewalls, forwarding or monitoring.

Dependencies

This requires Docker to be installed. This is not handled by this role.

Variables

Required:

• anonymous_ftp_incoming_data_dir: Directory for incoming files

Optional:

• anonymous_ftp_image: Docker image for the FTP server, default openmicroscopy/vsftpd-anonymous-upload:0.1.0
• anonymous_ftp_incoming_group: Group name/id for the uploads data directory, default root
• anonymous_ftp_public_address: Externally facing IP of the FTP server, will be guessed but it is strongly recommended that you set this
• anonymous_ftp_emails: List of emails for anonymous password, default empty
• anonymous_ftp_port: Published port for incoming FTP, default 21
• anonymous_ftp_pasv_min_port: Passive port range (minimum, default 32022)
