Windows related users.conf problem

[Prilipko]

Hi! I also have problem with users.config when I tried to run command from readme

docker run -v C:\Users\MyUser\test\users.conf:/etc/sftp/users.conf:ro -v mySftpVolume:/home -p 2222:22 -d atmoz/sftp
I got an error in docker log and container is down

"/usr/local/bin/create-sftp-user] Parsing user data: "foo:123:1001:100

", do not match required regex pattern: [[:digit:]]* "100

/entrypoint: Error on line 60: create-sftp-user "$user"

It works on WSL but is there any way to run it on windows env

I was never able to figure out my issue for getting the .conf file to work. Since I only need 2 users, what I ended up doing was passing the username and hashed password directly. Would still prefer to manage users in a separate file, but until then this at-least works.

    sftp_service:
        image: atmoz/sftp:alpine
        container_name: sftp_container
        restart: unless-stopped
        command: "username1:hashedpassword1:e:197609:197121 username2:hashedpassword2:e:197609:197121"
        ports:
            - '15100:22'
        volumes:
            --- snip --
            # - Host Keys -
            - ./docker/sftp/ssh_host_ed25519_key:/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
            - ./docker/sftp/ssh_host_rsa_key:/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

Thanks @LeonT-A I found the solution. Probably you need to change CR LF line separators to only LF for all settings files

[Prilipko]

The problem is in different line separators in WIN and UNIX. It would be nice if server supports both types BTW

Thanks, I didn't even know this was a thing. It worked great.

For anyone else running into the regex issue with their users.conf file on windows, the article below shows you how to quickly change the hidden CRLF line separators to LF using Notepad++
