How to use this image

start a FTP Server instance

To start a container, with data stored in /data on the host, use the following:

podman build -t vsftpd .
podman run \
  --detach \
  --env FTP_PASS=123 \
  --env FTP_USER=user \
  --name my-ftp-server \
  --publish 20-21:20-21/tcp \
  --publish 40000-40009:40000-40009/tcp \    # For passive mode transfers
  --volume users.txt:/etc/vsftpd/users.txt \ # Add virtual users
  --volume /data:/home/user \
  vsftpd

The users.txt file should contain an even number of lines, with each pair representing a username and password. For example:

user1
password1
user2
password2
