Dockerfile and related files for creating Docker containers running Pro:Atria's SFTPPlus MFT trial version for evaluation purpose.

sftpplus-docker-setup.sh is the main script which is called to create the SFTPPlus environment for the image. It does a standard SFTPPlus installation where the SSH keys are generated each time the image is created. The FTPS and HTTPS are using self-signed certificates.

It is provided as an evaluation tool and the base for creating a custom SFTPPlus image to suit your production needs.

A testing account named test_user and password test_password is created by default.

Since the default SSH keys and SSL certificates are automatically generated, the default Dockerfile presented here is not suitable for production.

For production usage you should modify the files from the configuration/ directory to contain your own SSH keys and SSL certificates and then modify the server.ini to use these files.

The default configuration will enable all the supported protocols and expose all the ports. You might want to disable / remove some of the services and map them to different ports.

For production usage it is recommended to remove the test_user account.

The logs produced by the server are send to standard output so that they are available to the docker log infrastructure.

A copy of the logs is also stored in local files, which are rotated daily and kept for up to 30 days. If you are using exclusively the docker log infrastructure, you might want to disable local files.

For demonstration purpose, all events are also stored in a SQLite database and available for navigation inside the Local Manager. For a production environment this can soon grow to a significant size and in the same time can become a performance hit. It is recommended to either disable it or use an external MySQL database.

We assume that you alerady have a working Docker environment. We used version 17.06.0-ce.

You should you have downloaded generic Linux SFTPPlus version. Either the trial version or the full version.

• Clone this repository.

• Get the SFTPPlus generic Linux version. In this example is the link for the trial, but you can replace it with your full version:

  wget https://download.sftpplus.com/trial/sftpplus-linux-x64-trial.tar.gz
  

• Check the configuration/server.ini configuration file to match your needs.

• Adjust SFTPPLUS_VERSION in Dockerfile to match the version which was downloaded. The default Dockerfile from this repo will work with SFTPPlus trial version.

• From inside the main directory build the sftpplus image with (replace 3.29.0.trial with your preferred tag):

  docker build -t sftpplus:3.29.0.trial .
  

• If successful, you should see the new image available inside your Docker server

  docker images
  

• Once you have the image created, you may start the new Docker container. In this example we will run a container named sftpplus-instance which is using the sftpplus:3.29.0 image and makes all the ports available to the outside world. There are a lot of services and ports:

  docker run -d --name sftpplus-instance \
      -p 10020:10020 \
      -p 10080:10080 \
      -p 10443:10443 \
      -p 10022:10022 \
      -p 10023:10023 \
      -p 10021:10021 \
      -p 10990:10990 \
      -p 10900-10910:10900-10910 \
      sftpplus:3.29.0.trial
  

• You can check that the container is started:

  docker ps -a
  

• You can check the logs with:

  docker logs sftpplus-instance
  

• And stop the container with:

  docker stop sftpplus-instance
  

• To check how the image is created, you can start with a shell and inspect it:

  docker run -it --name sftpplus-debug sftpplus:3.29.0 /bin/sh
  

• To inspect a container which is already running use:

  docker exec -it sftpplus-instance /bin/sh
