DEPRECATION NOTICE¶

This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated.

linuxserver/nntp2nntp¶

Nntp2nntp proxy allow you to use your NNTP Account from multiple systems, each with own user name and password. It fully supports SSL and you can also limit the access to proxy with SSL certificates. nntp2nntp proxy is very simple and pretty fast.

Warning¶

Whilst we know of no nntp2nntp security issues the upstream code for this project has received no changes since 06.08.15 and is likely abandoned permanently. For this reason we strongly recommend you do not make this application public facing and if you must do so other layers of security and SSL should be considered an absolute bare minimum requirement. We see this proxy being used primarily on a LAN so that all the users NNTP applications can share a common set of internal credentials allowing for central managment of the upstream account e.g change provider, server, thread limits for all applications with one global config change.

Supported Architectures¶

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/nntp2nntp:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Application Setup¶

Edit sample config file config/nntp2nntp.conf with upstream provider details and rename the local users.

New user passwords can be created by running the password hash generator

docker exec -it nntp2nntp /usr/bin/nntp2nntp.py pass

Example with a user called Dave and with a password of password

Dave    = 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8

Usage¶

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)¶

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  nntp2nntp:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/nntp2nntp:latest
    container_name: nntp2nntp
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - PUID=<yourUID>
      - PGID=<yourGID>
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
    ports:
      - 1563:1563
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)¶

docker run -d \
  --name=nntp2nntp \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e PUID=<yourUID> \
  -e PGID=<yourGID> \
  -p 1563:1563 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/nntp2nntp:latest

Parameters¶

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)¶

Environment Variables (-e)¶

Volume Mappings (-v)¶

Miscellaneous Options¶

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)¶

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications¶

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers¶

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Docker Mods¶

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info¶

• Shell access whilst the container is running:
• docker exec -it nntp2nntp /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
• docker logs -f nntp2nntp
• Container version number
• docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' nntp2nntp
• Image version number
• docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/nntp2nntp:latest
