Notes

Make sure port 521 is open and 30000-30009 on your firewall or ufw. Do not use Caddy for this. Just docker-compose up -d in side the folder when you are done. You can do this with

sudo ufw allow 521/tcp comment "PureFTPd"
sudo ufw allow 30000:30009/tcp comment "PureFTPd"

Connect to the ftp server with your IP:521 and the USERNAME + PASS set in .env.

.env

FTP_USER_NAME=
FTP_USER_PASS=
FTP_USER_HOME=/home/

docker-compose.yml

In this docker compose example we are mounting your current user's home folder to the folder called mountedfolder inside the docker container. You can see this under the line containing - "~/:/home/mountedfolder"
