bobrik/time-container repository overview

⁠Time Container

Time capsule and apple share in docker.

⁠Running

docker run -d -p <docker_host_ip>:548:548 -v <docker_host_dir>:/share \
  -e AFPD_LOGIN=<login> -e AFPD_PASSWORD=<password> \
  -e AFPD_NAME="<share name>" -e AFPD_SIZE_LIMIT=<size limit in mb if needed> \
  --name <container name> bobrik/time-container

This will bind afpd to docker host ip address and mount directory on docker host to container.

⁠Connecting

Open Finder, then press ⌘K. Enter afp://<docker_host_ip> and press Connect. Enter login and password you supplied at the build stage.

That's it!

Note that Time Machine will not work on non-standard port, so use 548.

You may need to run the following command to enable Time machine backups:
