sftpgo-mirror/docker/sftpgo/alpine

SFTPGo with Docker and Alpine

This DockerFile is made to build image to host multiple instances of SFTPGo started with different users.

Example

1003 is a custom uid:gid for this instance of SFTPGo

# Prereq on docker host
sudo groupadd -g 1003 sftpgrp && \
  sudo useradd -u 1003 -g 1003 sftpuser -d /home/sftpuser/ && \
  sudo -u sftpuser mkdir /home/sftpuser/{conf,data} && \
  curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakkan/sftpgo/master/sftpgo.json -o /home/sftpuser/conf/sftpgo.json

# Edit sftpgo.json as you need

# Get and build SFTPGo image.
# Add --build-arg TAG=LATEST to build the latest tag or e.g. TAG=v1.0.0 for a specific tag/commit.
# Add --build-arg FEATURES=<build features comma separated> to specify the features to build.
git clone https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo.git && \
  cd sftpgo && \
  sudo docker build -t sftpgo docker/sftpgo/alpine/

# Initialize the configured provider. For PostgreSQL and MySQL providers you need to create the configured database and the "initprovider" command will create the required tables.
sudo docker run --name sftpgo \
  -e PUID=1003 \
  -e GUID=1003 \
  -v /home/sftpuser/conf/:/srv/sftpgo/config \
  sftpgo initprovider -c /srv/sftpgo/config

# Start the image
sudo docker rm sftpgo && sudo docker run --name sftpgo \
  -e SFTPGO_LOG_FILE_PATH= \
  -e SFTPGO_CONFIG_DIR=/srv/sftpgo/config \
  -e SFTPGO_HTTPD__TEMPLATES_PATH=/srv/sftpgo/web/templates \
  -e SFTPGO_HTTPD__STATIC_FILES_PATH=/srv/sftpgo/web/static \
  -e SFTPGO_HTTPD__BACKUPS_PATH=/srv/sftpgo/backups \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 2022:2022 \
  -e PUID=1003 \
  -e GUID=1003 \
  -v /home/sftpuser/conf/:/srv/sftpgo/config \
  -v /home/sftpuser/data:/data \
  -v /home/sftpuser/backups:/srv/sftpgo/backups \
  sftpgo

If you want to enable FTP/S you also need the publish the FTP port and the FTP passive port range, defined in your Dockerfile, by adding, for example, the following options to the docker run command -p 2121:2121 -p 50000-50100:50000-50100. The same goes for WebDAV, you need to publish the configured port.

The script entrypoint.sh makes sure to correct the permissions of directories and start the process with the right user.

Several images can be run with different parameters.

Custom systemd script

An example of systemd script is present here, with Environment parameter to set PUID and GUID

WorkingDirectory parameter must be exist with one file in this directory like sftpgo-${PUID}.env corresponding to the variable file for SFTPGo instance.
