jlesage/freefilesync repository overview

⁠Docker container for FreeFileSync

This project provides a lightweight and secure Docker container for FreeFileSync⁠.

Access the application's full graphical interface directly from any modern web browser - no downloads, installs, or setup required on the client side - or connect with any VNC client.

The web interface also offers audio playback, seamless clipboard sharing, an integrated file manager and terminal for accessing the container's files and shell, desktop notifications, and more.

FreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of all your important files. Instead of copying every file every time, FreeFileSync determines the differences between a source and a target folder and transfers only the minimum amount of data needed.

⁠Quick Start

NOTE: The Docker command provided in this quick start is an example, and parameters should be adjusted to suit your needs.

Launch the FreeFileSync docker container with the following command:

docker run -d \
    --name=freefilesync \
    -p 5800:5800 \
    -v /docker/appdata/freefilesync:/config:rw \
    -v /home/user:/storage:rw \
    jlesage/freefilesync

Where:

• /docker/appdata/freefilesync: Stores the application's configuration, state, logs, and any files requiring persistency.
• /home/user: Contains files from the host that need to be accessible to the application.

Access the FreeFileSync GUI by browsing to http://your-host-ip:5800. Files from the host appear under the /storage folder in the container.
