## What it is
A Docker image providing an easy-to-use SFTP server based on OpenSSH. Users can be defined via command arguments, environment variables, or a config file, with chrooted home directories and volume mounts for file sharing.

## Use cases
- run an sftp server in docker
- securely share files with external users
- give partners a drop folder to upload files
- self-host an sftp server with chrooted users
- set up sftp users via docker compose
- mount a host directory for sftp uploads

## When to choose
- you need a quick, containerized SFTP server with minimal configuration
- you want per-user chrooted directories and simple volume mounting
- you prefer defining users declaratively in compose or env vars

## When to avoid
- you need full SSH shell access, not just SFTP
- you need a managed file transfer service with auditing and compliance features
- you cannot run Docker containers on your host

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, file-system, security, self-hosted
- domain: files, self-hosted, security
- platform: self-hosted
