How can I setup it up with Traefik?

Open sidneydemoraes opened this issue 5 years ago • 17 comments

Hi there. I'm trying to setup up this container to be used through Traefik. This is what I did.

  ftp-sgrio:
    image: stilliard/pure-ftpd:hardened
    restart: on-failure:3
    environment:
      FTP_USER_NAME: bla
      FTP_USER_PASS: blablabla
      FTP_USER_HOME: /var/www/html
      FTP_USER_UID: 33
      FTP_USER_GID: 33
      ADDED_FLAGS: "-d -d"
    expose:
      - "21"
    networks:
      - mynet
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.port=21"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:mydomain.com"
      - "traefik.backend=myftp"
    volumes:
      ...

I'm able to connect to port 21 on my host but I can't manage to connect with Filezila. It just says "Waiting for welcome message" and then fails. What could be wrong?

Hey @sidneydemoraes, Have you tried passing the PUBLICHOST environment variable? that can often cause connection issues if missing.

I've not used Traefik but it looks interesting, let me know how it goes setting it up with pure-ftpd.

stilliard avatar Jan 29 '19 21:01 stilliard

Hey @stilliard . Thanks for your prompt response. I did try with both my host IP and with my traefik network IP. Neither of them worked. I wish I found a way to debug what happens after I get into the host port 21. I can't tell if there's an issue in Traefik setup or in pureFTP inside the container.

sidneydemoraes avatar Jan 29 '19 21:01 sidneydemoraes

Hmm interesting, it looks like you can add logs to Traefik: https://docs.traefik.io/configuration/logs/ Maybe these can help shed some light on if it's even reaching the pureFTP container.

stilliard avatar Jan 29 '19 21:01 stilliard

With Traefik, are you able to access the host directly? might be worth trying to connect directly. or if you can exec into the pureftpd container you could see if there's anything logged with: tail -f /var/log/messages

Hope this helps.

stilliard avatar Jan 29 '19 21:01 stilliard

In fact, no logs are shown in pure-ftpd. I guess there's something to do with setting traefik ports and proxy them to the container. I'll let you know if I find something.

sidneydemoraes avatar Jan 29 '19 21:01 sidneydemoraes

@sidneydemoraes did you manage to solve this?

davidwneary avatar Mar 18 '19 12:03 davidwneary

Traefik is an HTTP/HTTPS only proxy. No Streams/TCP support as far as i know. ;)

Maybe DeleGate (http://www.delegate.org/delegate/Manual.shtml?serv_FTP) is something you can use?

Traefik v2 does support TCP now (still in alpha)

The closer I could get was to login ok into FTP, but them the passive mode come and bite my ankle.

traefik-compose.yml:

command:
      - --entrypoints.web.address=:80
      - --entrypoints.websecure.address=:443
      - --entrypoints.ftp.address=:21
      - ...

ftp-compose.yml:

deploy:
      labels:
        - "traefik.enable=true"
        - "traefik.docker.network=netweb"
        - "traefik.protocol=tcp"
        - "traefik.tcp.services.ftphost.loadbalancer.server.port=21"
        - "traefik.tcp.routers.ftphost.entrypoints=ftp"
        - "traefik.tcp.routers.ftphost.rule=HostSNI(`*`)"
ports:
      - target: 21
        protocol: tcp
        mode: ingress
      - "50000-50019"

I tryed to map the 50000-50019 ports as --entrypoints.pasv00.address=:5000 too, with traefik.tcp.routers.ftphost.entrypoints=ftp,pasv00, but no dice. I guess it needs something on loadbalancer.server.port too, but I don't know how to setup this one.

So, for now, I'm going to try to let the FTP service as mode:global and put some constraints on it, since I use syncthing to sync the folders, all server may look like one.

If someone learn how to deal with passive mode in the swarm, please remember to come back here and help us with some directions.

Hi @EthraZa did you finally find a solution i also try to deploy this image on kubernetes cluster then use traefik v2.3 ingress. Active mode is working for you ? I also able to connect to ftp, but i can do anything even in active or passive mode. I will published passive ports on traefik entrypoints. Hi here log connexion :

500 I won't open a connection to 51.XXX.XXX.XXX (only to 10.2.0.75)
ftp: bind: Address already in use
ftp> passive
Passive mode on.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (51,XXX,XXX,XXX,117,52)
ftp: connect: Connection refused

Don't find anything on pureftp logs.

AntoineMicheaOpencell avatar Oct 02 '20 07:10 AntoineMicheaOpencell

Hi, no, If Traefik can do FTP, I can't find how.

My solution was to remove traefik labels and point the FTP DNS name to the Host IP running the ftp service container. The ports 20/21 can be ingress type, it does not need to be host type.

Hi there @EthraZa @AntoineMicheaOpencell , in the end did you manage to find a solution?

I am using this https://dockerswarm.rocks/traefik/ with Traefik v2.3.6 and these changes:

I am aware that this is not a very elegant solution.. and maybe there are some errors too (I'm new to Docker and Traefik), but I am able to login despite not displaying the folder list.

This is the Filezilla log (obfuscated for obvious reasons):

Thank for the solution pure-ftp work's with treafik.

But it's possible to enable TLS with treafik to use let'sencrypt conf ???

bertrand-sifre avatar Feb 20 '21 16:02 bertrand-sifre

Hi guys,

thank you for the discussion here. Actually, this and some others helped a lot while implementing a vsftp in Kubernetes on digital ocean. One thing I'm still facing is an issue with the pasv mode and directory listing. For some reason the listing is failing with connection issue in 2 of 3 cases. Anyone else has observed similar issues? And could maybe give me hint what still to check. It seems that the connections are mybe not closed correct and still be opend. So only after some time the connection works again. Could that be the case and how could I check this.

Cheers Kirsten

Hi, following up on this. I am able to get FTP login working. But when it comes to passive, the FTP server replies its private ip address to the client through reverse proxy, which results in a timeout. Any possible way to add a traefik middleware to replace private ip with the reverse proxy ip? (Lets treat the FTP server as a blackbox).

You should setup public IP on the FTP server itself. In FileZilla this is described here -> https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration#Passive_mode_2
