SFTP components

Localhost Docker setup

The https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo project offers a fully-featured SFTP server packaged as a Docker container.

Run the drakkan/sftpgo container:

shell

$ mkdir sftp && cd sftp
$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -p 2022:2022 -v $(pwd):/srv/sftpgo -e SFTPGO_DATA_PROVIDER__CREATE_DEFAULT_ADMIN=true -e SFTPGO_DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin -e SFTPGO_DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password drakkan/sftpgo:edge-alpine-slim

Setup an account in the container:

shell

$ BASE_URL="localhost:8080/api/v2"
$ TOKEN_URL="http://admin:password@${BASE_URL}/token"
$ RESPONSE=$(curl -s --show-error ${TOKEN_URL})
$ TOKEN=$(
  echo ${RESPONSE} \
  | jq ".access_token" \
  | sed 's/^"\(.*\)"$/\1/'
)
$ curl --request POST \
  --url ${BASE_URL}/users \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
  --data '{"id": 1, "status": 1, "username": "admin", "password": "password", "permissions": {"/": ["*"]}}'
$ ssh-keyscan -t ssh-ed25519 -p 2022 127.0.0.1 | sed -n "s/^[^ #]* //p" > sftpgo.pub

You should now be able to access the SFTPGo web UI via http://localhost:8080 with user admin and password password.

The SFTP server should be accessible via localhost:2022 with user admin and password password. You'll first have to add its public key to your known_hosts file or, alternatively, you can configure the credentials.host_public_key_file of the sftp input and / or output to point to the sftpgo.pub generated above via ssh-keyscan.
