arm32v6/armel, RPi2 & RPi3: arm32v7/armhf, RPi4 & RPi5: arm64/aarch64) and x86_64 (Intel/AMD-based) Linux / macOS / Windows WSLdocker run --detach --restart unless-stopped --name="vsftpd" --publish="21:21/tcp" --publish="10091-10100:10091-10100/tcp" --volume "local/path/to/vsftpd/data:/home/vsftpd" bridgehead/vsftpd
or more concise:
docker run -d -p 21:21 -p 10090-10100:10090-10100 -v "local/path/to/vsftpd/data:/home/vsftpd" bridgehead/vsftpd
local/path/to/vsftpd/data is a path in your local file system where the data that comes in is stored (or should be read from). Could be as simple as: ~/ftp-data
local/path/to/vsftpd/config [optional!] is a path in your local file system where you would like to put a vsftpd.conf file to configure vsftpd. Eg. ~/ftp-conf
User and password are both: 'vsftpd'.
Change the password with: docker exec vsftpd sh -c 'echo vsftpd:NEWPASSWORD | chpasswd'
For an inspiration, use: LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9' < /dev/urandom | head -c 8
Test logins with: ftp 127.0.0.1
Remember to manually switch to PASV mode with pass after login, if you happen to use an older ftp client.
This version of vsftpd should run on basically any Raspberry Pi or x86_64-based Linux (Intel/AMD) distro.
With around 3.5 MB compressed size, it's not big.
Uncompressed, it takes around 6 MB, only including the alpine base image and the one binary 'vsftpd'. Still smol. But double that on arm64. :(
It uses 700 KB of RAM when running as a server. Tiny.

Note that the RPi1/2, aka arm32v6 aka armel image explicitly requires the alpine release v3.12. Versions after that have different requirements (esp. time64). See here for more: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Release_Notes_for_Alpine_3.13.0
Alpine v3.12 is essentially the last version to be usable on old Raspberry Pi 1's and 2's.
