VSFTPD Docker Image

This is a micro-service image for VSFTPD.

There are a few limitations but it will work if you are using host networking --net host or have a direct/routed network between the Docker container and the client.

Virtual User

The FTP user has been set to uid 48 and gid 48.

Options

The following environment variables are accepted.

• FTP_USER: Sets the default FTP user

• FTP_PASSWORD: Plain text password, or

• FTP_PASSWORD_HASH: Sets the password for the user specified above. This requires a hashed password such as the ones created with mkpasswd -m sha-512 which is in the whois debian package.

Usage Example

docker run --rm -it -p 21:21 -p 4559:4559 -p 4560:4560 -p 4561:4561 -p 4562:4562 -p 4563:4563 -p 4564:4564 -e FTP_USER=panubo -e FTP_PASSWORD=panubo panubo/vsftpd

SSL Usage

SSL can be configured (non-SSL by default). Firstly the SSL certificate and key need to be added to the image, either using volumes or baking it into an image. Then specify the vsftpd_ssl.conf config file as the config vsftpd should use.

This example assumes the ssl cert and key are in the same file and are mounted into the container read-only.

docker run --rm -it -e FTP_USER=panubo -e FTP_PASSWORD_HASH='$6$XWpu...DwK1' -v `pwd`/server.pem:/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.crt:ro -v `pwd`/server.pem:/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.key:ro panubo/vsftpd vsftpd /etc/vsftpd_ssl.conf
