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
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/nntp2nntp
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:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v6-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker
docker create \
--name=nntp2nntp \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e PUID=<yourUID> \
-e PGID=<yourGID> \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 1563:1563 \
-v <path to data>:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/nntp2nntp
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "2.1"
services:
nntp2nntp:
image: linuxserver/nntp2nntp
container_name: nntp2nntp
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- PUID=<yourUID>
- PGID=<yourGID>
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- <path to data>:/config
ports:
- 1563:1563
restart: unless-stopped
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
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
1563 |
will map the container's port 1563 to port 1563 on the host |
Environment Variables (-e
)
Env | Function |
---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
PUID=<yourUID> |
specify your UID |
PGID=<yourGID> |
specify your GID |
TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
this will store config on the docker host |
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)
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
entering the desired password and copying the resulting string to the relevant user line in /config/nntp2nntp.conf
Example with a user called Dave
and with a password of password
Dave = 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it nntp2nntp /bin/bash
