- Define users as last arguments to
docker run, one user per argument
(syntax:user:pass[:e][:[uid][:gid]]).- You must set custom UID for your users if you want them to make changes to your mounted volumes with permissions matching your host filesystem.
- Mount volumes in user's home folder.
- The users are chrooted to their home directory, so you must mount the volumes in separate directories inside the user's home directory (/home/user/mounted-directory).
docker run \
-v /host/share:/home/foo/share \
-p 2222:22 -d rlesouef/alpine-openssh \
foo:123:1001
sftp:
image: rlesouef/alpine-openssh
volumes:
- /host/share:/home/foo/share
ports:
- "2222:22"
command: foo:123:1001
The OpenSSH server runs by default on port 22, and in this example, we are
forwarding the container's port 22 to the host's port 2222. To log in with an
OpenSSH client, run: sftp -P 2222 foo@<host-ip>
docker run \
-v /host/share:/home/foo/share \
-v /host/documents:/home/foo/documents \
-v /host/http:/home/bar/http \
-p 2222:22 -d rlesouef/alpine-openssh \
foo:123:1001 \
bar:abc:1002
Add :e behind password to mark it as encrypted. Use single quotes.
docker run \
-v /host/share:/home/foo/share \
-p 2222:22 -d rlesouef/alpine-openssh \
'foo:$1$0G2g0GSt$ewU0t6GXG15.0hWoOX8X9.:e:1001'
Tip: you can use makepasswd to generate encrypted passwords:
echo -n 123 | makepasswd --crypt-md5 --clearfrom -
Mount all public keys in the user's .ssh/keys/ folder. All keys are automatically
appended to .ssh/authorized_keys.
docker run \
-v /host/id_rsa.pub:/home/foo/.ssh/keys/id_rsa.pub:ro \
-v /host/id_other.pub:/home/foo/.ssh/keys/id_other.pub:ro \
-v /host/share:/home/foo/share \
-p 2222:22 -d rlesouef/alpine-openssh \
foo::1001
