Environment variables

• TZ: The timezone assigned to the container (default UTC)

• FF_SYNCSERVER_ACCESSLOG: Display access log (default false)
• FF_SYNCSERVER_LOGLEVEL: Log level output (default info)
• FF_SYNCSERVER_PUBLIC_URL: Must be edited to point to the public URL of your server (default http://localhost:5000).
• FF_SYNCSERVER_SECRET: This is a secret key used for signing authentication tokens. It should be long and randomly-generated.
• FF_SYNCSERVER_ALLOW_NEW_USERS: Set this to false to disable new-user signups on the server. Only request by existing accounts will be honoured (default true).
• FF_SYNCSERVER_FORCE_WSGI_ENVIRON: Set this to true to work around a mismatch between public_url and the application URL as seen by python, which can happen in certain reverse-proxy hosting setups (default false).
• FF_SYNCSERVER_SQLURI: Defines the database in which to store all server data (default sqlite:///data/syncserver.db).
• FF_SYNCSERVER_FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS: Set this to * or an IP range if you use an Nginx reverse proxy (optional).

💡 FF_SYNCSERVER_SECRET_FILE can be used to fill in the value from a file, especially for Docker's secrets feature.

Volumes

• /data: Contains SQLite database if FF_SYNCSERVER_SQLURI is untouched

⚠️ Note that the volumes should be owned by the user/group with the specified PUID and PGID. If you don't give the volume correct permissions, the container may not start.

Ports

• 5000: Gunicorn port
