FHNW-Sync

A docker container that runs a cron job, which automatically connects to a vpn, mounts a given file server and copies the specified folders to its filesystem.

Important Note:

This container has to be started with extended privileges. This is due to the container opening vpn tunnels which are only available in the privileged mode.

Configurations

Volumes:

• /srv the location where all the data will be copied to. Don't forget to mount this folder to your host filesystem to persist the data!

Environment Variables:

• CRON_SCHEDULE The cron schedule defining when the sync job is run. (Default: 0 9-17 * * *)
• USERNAME The username used for authentication with the VPN client and file share
• PASSWORD The password used for authentication with the VPN client and file share
• VPN_URL The url used by the vpn client
• SHARE_PATH the path which should be mounted inside the docker container
• FOLDERS a space seperated list of folders that will be copied to the filesystem
