rsync-server

A rsyncd/sshd server in Docker. You know, for moving files. Based on container by the same name by axiom. Changes include switching to ubuntu:bionic for base, setting up as auto build, few tweaks on paths and names, addition of pipework for odd network needs.

tl;dr

Start a server (both sshd and rsyncd are supported)

$ docker run \
    --name rsync-server \ # Name it
    -p 8000:873 \ # rsyncd port
    -p 9000:22 \ # sshd port
    -e USERNAME=user \ # rsync username
    -e PASSWORD=pass \ # rsync/ssh password
    -v /your/public.key:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys \ # your public key
    apnar/rsync-server

`rsyncd`

$ rsync -av /your/folder/ rsync://user@localhost:8000/data
Password: pass
sending incremental file list
./
foo/
foo/bar/
foo/bar/hi.txt

sent 166 bytes  received 39 bytes  136.67 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

`sshd`

Please note that you are connecting as the root and not the user specified in the USERNAME variable. If you don't supply a key file you will be prompted for the PASSWORD.

$ rsync -av -e "ssh -i /your/private.key -p 9000 -l root" /your/folder/ localhost:/data
sending incremental file list
./
foo/
foo/bar/
foo/bar/hi.txt

WAIT_INT - wait for this interface to appear before starting services, for use with pipeworks.

Simple server on port 873

$ docker run -p 873:873 apnar/rsync-server

Use a volume for the default `/data`

$ docker run -p 873:873 -v /your/folder:/data apnar/rsync-server

Set a username and password

$ docker run \
    -p 873:873 \
    -v /your/folder:/data \
    -e USERNAME=admin \
    -e PASSWORD=mysecret \
    apnar/rsync-server

Run on a custom port

$ docker run \
    -p 9999:873 \
    -v /your/folder:/data \
    -e USERNAME=admin \
    -e PASSWORD=mysecret \
    apnar/rsync-server

$ rsync rsync://admin@localhost:9999
data            /data directory

Modify the default volume location

$ docker run \
    -p 9999:873 \
    -v /your/folder:/myvolume \
    -e USERNAME=admin \
    -e PASSWORD=mysecret \
    -e VOLUME=/myvolume \
    data/rsync-server

$ rsync rsync://admin@localhost:9999
data            /myvolume directory

Allow additional client IPs

$ docker run \
    -p 9999:873 \
    -v /your/folder:/myvolume \
    -e USERNAME=admin \
    -e PASSWORD=mysecret \
    -e VOLUME=/myvolume \
    -e ALLOW=192.168.8.0/24 192.168.24.0/24 172.16.0.0/12 127.0.0.1/32 \
    apnar/rsync-server

Over SSH

If you would like to connect over ssh, you may mount your public key or authorized_keys file to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Without setting up an authorized_keys file, you will be propted for the password (which was specified in the PASSWORD variable).

docker run \
    -v /your/folder:/myvolume \
    -e USERNAME=admin \
    -e PASSWORD=mysecret \
    -e VOLUME=/myvolume \
    -e ALLOW=192.168.8.0/24 192.168.24.0/24 172.16.0.0/12 127.0.0.1/32 \
    -v /my/authorized_keys:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys \
    -p 9000:22 \
    apnar/rsync-server

$ rsync -av -e "ssh -i /your/private.key -p 9000 -l root" /your/folder/ localhost:/data
