yvess/alpine-apache2-webdav repository overview

This image provides apache webdav serving with just 17MB (uncompressed). It's build to be customizable and for multiple shares.

Each share is defined with an alias.

You can create a test container with the test/docker-compose.yml file. Just checkout the code and run docker-compose up in the test folder. After that you can connect to http://localhost:8080/testuser with the user/pwd testuser/testuser.

⁠docker-compose.yml

Here is a example docker-compose.yml file to configure the service, adapt it to your own settings. SSL is optional but almost mandatory for real world usage.

apache2:
  image: yvess/alpine-apache2-webdav:0.1
  hostname: apache2
  environment:
    - SERVER_NAME=myserver
    - CREATE_TESTUSER=YES
    - SSL=YES
    - SSL_KEY=/path_to_key/ssl.key
    - SSL_CERT=/path_to_cert/ssl.crt
    - WWW_DATA_UID=33 # optional
    - WWW_DATA_GID=33 # optional
  volumes:
    - /local_path_to_key/ssl.key:/path_to_key.key
    - /local_path_to_cert/ssl.crt:/path_to_cert.crt
    - ./davshares:/etc/apache2/davshares
    - /your_path/auth:/var/www/testuser_auth
    - /your_path/your_dir:/var/www/testuser_webdav
  ports:
    - "8443:443"

The WWW_DATA_UID and WWW_DATA_GID env vars are optional and set so that it matches the ubuntu default of 33 for the www-data user/group. You need to change this, to match the uid/gid for your share mounts, otherwise the user www-data can't write into your share.

⁠example share conf

You can have multiple shares in the folder davshares (can be changed).

The share file testuser.conf in davshares looks like this.

Alias /testuser "/var/www/testuser_webdav"
<Directory "/var/www/testuser_webdav">
    Include /etc/apache2/webdav_defaults.conf
    AuthUserFile "/var/www/testuser_auth/users"
</Directory>

Also mount the shares dir and auth files into the container.

..
    - ./testuser_webdav:/var/www/testuser_webdav
    - ./testuser_auth:/var/www/testuser_auth
..

Inside or outside the container you you need to create htdigest password files with following command. The realm is always webdav. Replace password_file testuser with your own settings. (users is used for the password_file in the examples here).

htdigest -c password_file webdav testuser
