metabrainz / docker-anon-ftp

Anonymous ftp server docker image based on vsftpd, used to serve MetaBrainz files

anon-ftp: An quick, anonymous ftp server docker image

This image is meant for running something like a public read-only share. User accounts are not supported and all data access is meant to be read only via ftp anonymous login.

Up-and-Running

View my included docker-compose.yml for a runtime configuration example or check the below one-liner for a quick launch!

docker run -d -p 20-21:20-21 -p 65500-65515:65500-65515 -v /tmp:/var/ftp:ro metabrainz/docker-anon-ftp

Runtime Configuration Options

There are a series of available variables you can tune at your own discretion. The defaults are most likely acceptable for most use cases.

• ANON_ROOT - The directory in the container which vsftpd will serve out (default: /var/ftp)
• PASV_MAX_PORT - The maximum port for pasv communiation (default: 65515)
• PASV_MIN_PORT - The minimum port for pasv communication (default: 65500)
• MAX_PER_IP - The maximum connections from one host (default: 2)
• MAX_LOGIN_FAILS - Maximum number of login failures before kicking (default: 2)
• MAX_CLIENTS - Maximum number of simultaneously connected clients (default: 50)
• ANON_MAX_RATE - Maximum bandwidth allowed per client in bytes/sec (default: 6250000)
• FTPD_BANNER - An ftpd banner displayed when a client connects (default: Welcome to an awesome public FTP Server)
• BANNER_FILE - File containing ftpd banner (default: ``)

Notes

• Ensure you use :ro at the end of your bind mount declaration!
• We utilize ftp passive mode so we can define the ports we need and not have to use --net=host. This is the preferred way to use ftp!
• You can find some great documentation on configuration options and other vsftpd information on the Archwiki and in the man page

docker-anon-ftp's Issues

Include files to serve within the docker?

It looks like this project would help me with something I'm trying to do, however I would need to distribute my docker with all the files to serve via ftp within the docker, not on the external file system.

Is there a way to easily accomplish this?

Possibility to add users

Hi,
Can you please make it possible to add user/passwords? This way we can use this container to test FTP features.
