instantlinux/vsftpd Docker Image

vsftpd

A clean, easy-to-use, tiny yet full-featured installation of vsftpd wrapped in Alpine.

Usage

The most-common directives can be specified in environment variables as shown below. If you need further customizations, put them in one or more files under a mount point /etc/vsftpd.d.

A single upload user can be specified via the FTPUSER_xxx variables. It is activated by defining ftp-user-password-secret thus:

python -c "import crypt,random,string; \
  print crypt.crypt('YOURPASSWORD', '\$6\$' + ''.join( \
[random.choice(string.ascii_letters + string.digits) \
  for _ in range(16)]))" | \
docker secret create ftp-user-password-secret -

An example compose file is provided here in docker-compose.yml. This is for the common scenario of sharing from Docker swarm the contents of a network-attached volume as a read-only anonymous-ftp service. This repo has complete instructions for https://github.com/instantlinux/docker-tools/blob/main/k8s/README.md where you can deploy https://github.com/instantlinux/docker-tools/blob/main/images/vsftpd/kubernetes.yaml using make and customizing https://github.com/instantlinux/docker-tools/blob/main/k8s/Makefile.vars after cloning this repo:

git clone https://github.com/instantlinux/docker-tools.git
cd docker-tools/k8s
make vsftpd

Status: [|[] has a brief history of how vsftpd met its demise after 2011, with resurrection a few years later. I've switched to https://hub.docker.com/r/instantlinux/proftpd (see that image). This image is still maintained.

Variables

These variables can be passed to the image from kubernetes.yaml or docker-compose.yml as needed:
