rsyncd

Simple rsync server running in a Docker container.

Image: harbor.lan/tools/rsyncd:latest

Usage modes

1. Custom config (mount rsyncd.conf)

If /etc/rsyncd.conf is mounted, the container uses it as-is — no env vars needed.

services:
  rsyncd:
    image: harbor.lan/tools/rsyncd:latest
    ports:
      - "873:873"
    volumes:
      - ./rsyncd.conf:/etc/rsyncd.conf:ro
      - /srv/backup:/data

2. Multiple modules via env vars

Modules are defined via MODULE_1_*, MODULE_2_*, MODULE_3_* etc. — add as many as needed, as long as the numbering is consecutive.

services:
  rsyncd:
    image: harbor.lan/tools/rsyncd:latest
    ports:
      - "873:873"
    environment:
      - ALLOW=10.0.0.0/8
      - MODULE_1_NAME=backup
      - MODULE_1_PATH=/data/backup
      - MODULE_2_NAME=media
      - MODULE_2_PATH=/data/media
      - MODULE_2_ALLOW=192.168.1.0/24
    volumes:
      - /srv/backup:/data/backup
      - /srv/media:/data/media

3. Single module (simple)

services:
  rsyncd:
    image: harbor.lan/tools/rsyncd:latest
    ports:
      - "873:873"
    environment:
      - VOLUME=backup
      - ALLOW=10.0.0.0/8
      - OWNER=1000
      - GROUP=1000
    volumes:
      - /srv/backup:/volume
