⁠What is rsyncd?

Rsyncd is a Server Daemon for rsync. It allows downloading and uploading data from the or to the server on different volumes with different permissions.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Run rsyncd Server

You can create a rsyncd Server using:

docker run --name rsyncd \
           --volume /path/to/rsyncd/config:/config \
           --volume /path/to/data:/data \
           --publish 873:873 \
           --detach toendeavour/rsyncd-alpine

It requires a volume storing the rsyncd.conf and another one storing the data to share. To allow connections from the outside the port 873 must be opened.

⁠Logs

Rsyncd logs by default to the file rsyncd.log in the /log directory. It is necessary to add an additional volume to read it outside of the cointainer:

docker run --name rsyncd \
           --volume /path/to/rsyncd/config:/config \
           --volume /path/to/rsyncd/log:/log \
           --volume /path/to/data:/data \
           --publish 873:873 \
           --detach toendeavour/rsyncd-alpine

Afterwarts it is possible to read the log with a command like this:

tail -f /path/to/rsyncd/log/rsyncd.log

⁠docker-compose.yml

Here is an example using docker-compose.yml with SSL:

rsyncd:
  image: toendeavour/rsyncd-alpine
  restart: always
  ports:
  - "873:873"
  volumes:
  - /path/to/rsyncd/config:/config
  - /path/to/rsyncd/log:/log
  - /path/to/data:/data

⁠Rsyncd Configuration

uid = nobody
gid = nobody
use chroot = no

[share]
path = /data/share/
comment = Share
