Provide rport on Docker Hub

[tdpsk]

Currently, we build RPort server as a docker image ourselves. However, an official rport Docker image on Docker Hub would be useful for staying up-to-date and might make installing easier for new users.

[cfredericksen]

Care to share your docker image?

[tdpsk]

Right now it contains some specific data, I'll try and find a way to generalize and share it

[cfredericksen]

@tdpsk Maybe just post your Dockerfile here and I can finish it?

[ajagnanan]

any idea when this will be released?

[UncleSamSwiss]

In case this helps anybody:

FROM alpine:3.15 as downloader

ARG rport_version=0.4.2
ARG frontend_build=0.4.1-build-731

RUN apk add unzip

WORKDIR /app/

RUN wget -q https://github.com/cloudradar-monitoring/rport/releases/download/${rport_version}/rport_${rport_version}_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz -O rportd.tar.gz
RUN wget -q https://downloads.rport.io/frontend/stable/rport-frontend-stable-${frontend_build}.zip -O frontend.zip

RUN tar xzf rportd.tar.gz rportd

RUN unzip frontend.zip -d ./frontend


FROM debian:11.1

COPY --from=downloader /app/rportd /usr/local/bin/rportd
COPY --from=downloader /app/frontend/ /var/www/html/

COPY ./start-rportd.sh /usr/local/bin/

RUN useradd -d /var/lib/rport -m -U -r -s /bin/false rport

USER rport

VOLUME [ "/var/lib/rport/" ]

EXPOSE 8080
EXPOSE 3000

ENTRYPOINT [ "/bin/bash", "/usr/local/bin/start-rportd.sh", "--data-dir", "/var/lib/rport" ]

Just keep in mind that you still have to add a config file (preferably as a mounted read-only volume pointing to your local file). My docker-compose.yml looks as follows:

  rportd:
    build: ./rportd
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
      - 8081:8080
    command: -c /etc/rport/rportd.conf
    volumes:
      - ./dev/rportd/rportd.conf:/etc/rport/rportd.conf

If you are using client auth files, your start-rportd.sh file should look like this:

#!/bin/bash

# ensure we have at least an empty auth file
export AUTH_FILE=/var/lib/rport/client-auth.json
if [[ ! -e $AUTH_FILE ]]; then
    mkdir -p `dirname $AUTH_FILE`
    echo "{}" > $AUTH_FILE
    echo "Created empty $AUTH_FILE"
fi

/usr/local/bin/rportd $@

Also: you still have the same license requirements for the frontend, please honor them!

As a sidenote: I would have loved to use alpine as the base image for the "runner", but unfortunately rportd doesn't run on alpine (despite rport running perfectly).

@UncleSamSwiss What happens on with rportd on alpine? IIRC golang doesn't rely on libc and statically links.

[nwmcsween]

@m-terel I looked at git blame and it looks like rport tried to use with CGO_ENABLED=0 and static linking, is there a reason this was disabled?

[yusufhm]

I created a repo based on the input from @UncleSamSwiss with auto-builds (linux/amd64 & linux/arm64) here: https://github.com/yusufhm/rport-image

Also added the ability to generate the conf using environment variables.

Hi all,

I also created an image of rport that contain guacd to use RDP via browser, fail2ban and iptables.

https://github.com/AC-WhiteGlint/rport-docker

@yusufhm I like you approach with the env directly into the docker-compose, however it would be great in that case to allow to modify all conf options of the rportd.conf file (I know there is a lot of entry to modify).

Regarding my build of rport you have to provide the rportd.conf file directly into the container (as well as the certificates)

[yusufhm]

Hey @AC-WhiteGlint, you can actually also provide the rportd.conf as well if you wanted as a volume (that's how I do it in Kubernetes actually, no env vars provided); if that's the case, the entrypoint script will not run and therefore ignore any environment variables, if set.

Hi, i am new to Docker, i allready use dolibarr on a synology docker, can you assist a little on how i get rport running on my synology docker?
