Apache WebDav Server (built from the Alpine image)

Incredibly secure, fast WebDav Server, built from Alpine image - bare minimum with no bells and whistles.

This is a variant of https://github.com/sfuhrm/docker-nginx-webdav with the following changes:

• using Apache httpd instead of nginx,
• increasing the image layers and size ( nginx image: , this image: ),
• no more plain passwords, this image only deals with hashed htpasswd files

Docker tags

Different tags mean different versions. All tags on Dockerhub have passed the internal tests. Usually you want to go with the nightly version to get the newest Alpine Linux base.

Overview of tag dates:

Tag	Date
nightly
master
latest

The meanings of the tags:

Tag	Meaning
nightly	Nightly build of the master branch, usually up-to-date Alpine Linux verison.
master	Last master branch commit. Same features as nightly, but based on an older Appine Linux.
latest	Latest release per Github tag, not necessarily the most up-to-date Alpine Linux version!
v1.0.0	Version snapshot rebuilt nightly. Used to go back to a previous well-known state.

How to use this image

$ docker run --name keepass-webdav -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/your/keepass/files/:/media/data -d sfuhrm/docker-apache-webdav

Or use the docker-compose file included in this repository.

No built-in TLS support. Reverse proxy with TLS recommended.

Volumes

• /media/data - served directory, needs to be accessible to the apache user with uid 100 and gid 100.

Authentication

By default the server runs without authentication. To restrict access to authorized users, provide a htpasswd file and point the $HTPASSWD_FILE environment variable at its path inside the container.

The htpasswd file must use Apache's htpasswd format (username:hash). You can create one on your host with the htpasswd utility:

$ htpasswd -c htpasswd webdav

Then mount it into the container and reference it:

$ docker run --name webdav -p 8080:8080 \
    -v /path/to/your/shared/files/:/media/data \
    -v /path/to/htpasswd:/etc/webdav/htpasswd:ro \
    -e HTPASSWD_FILE=/etc/webdav/htpasswd \
    -d sfuhrm/docker-apache-webdav

Configuration

Maximum upload size

By default the server limits request bodies to 1 GiB (1073741824 bytes) to bound disk-fill denial-of-service. Override the limit with the MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE environment variable (bytes), or set 0 to disable the limit.

Docker compose

Or use docker-compose example with a htpasswd secret

version: "3.9"
name: webdav
secrets:
  HTPASSWD_SC:
    file: <path-to-your-htpasswd>/htpasswd
services:
  docker-apache-webdav:
    #image: sfuhrm/docker-apache-webdav
    build: .
    container_name: webdav
    restart: unless-stopped
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - "<path-you-want-to-share>:/media/data"
    secrets:
      - HTPASSWD_SC
    environment:
      - HTPASSWD_FILE=/run/secrets/HTPASSWD_SC
