docker-volume-container-rsync

docker-volume-container-rsync is to provide RSYNC access to a mounted volume. You can synchronize your local file over RSYNC into a container volume very fast.

News (as of Dec 2, 2022)

I've moved to GHCR (Github Container Registery) and a new repository provides multi-arch images for Linux/amd64 and Linux/arm64.

I'll not remove old images but please migrate to the new location.

Usage

First, you can launch a volume container exposing a volume with rsync.

CID=$(docker run -d -p 10873:873 ghcr.io/nabeken/docker-volume-container-rsync:latest)

You can connect to rsync server inside a container like this:

rsync rsync://<docker>:10873/
volume          docker volume

To sync:

rsync -avP /path/to/dir rsync://<docker>:10873/volume/

Next, you can launch a container connected with the volume under /docker.

docker run -it --volumes-from $CID ubuntu /bin/sh

Advanced

In default, rsync server accepts a connection only from 192.168.0.0/16 and 172.16.0.0/12 for security reasons. You can override via an environment variable like this:

docker run -d -p 10873:873 -e ALLOW='10.0.0.0/8 x.x.x.x/y' ghcr.io/nabeken/docker-volume-container-rsync:latest

Using with different directory

Let's say you want to use /data rather than /docker.

First, you must launch a volume container exposing /data directory:

CID=$(docker run --volume /data -d -e VOLUME=/data -p 10873:873 ghcr.io/nabeken/docker-volume-container-rsync:latest)

Finally, you can mount the volumes from the container:

docker run -it --volumes-from $CID ubuntu /bin/sh
