docker image to run netatalk (compatible Time Machine for OS X) based off of debian:jessie

To pull this image: docker pull mbentley/timemachine

Example usage:

docker run -d --restart=always \
  --net=host \
  --name timemachine \
  -e PASSWORD="timemachine" \
  -e VOLUME_SIZE_LIMIT="0" \
  -e LOG_LEVEL="info" \
  -e MIMIC_MODEL="TimeCapsule6,106" \
  -e SHARE_NAME="TimeMachine" \
  -v /opt/timemachine:/opt/timemachine \
  -v timemachine-logs:/var/log/supervisor \
  mbentley/timemachine:latest

This works best with --net=host so that discovery can be broadcast. Otherwise, just expose port 548 (-p 548:548) and then you must manually map the drive for it to show up.

If you're using an external volume like in the example above, you will need to set the filesystem permissions on disk. By default, the timemachine user is 1000:1000.

Default credentials:

• Username: timemachine
• Password: timemachine

Optional variables:

• PASSWORD - (default - timemachine) sets the password for the timemachine user
• VOLUME_SIZE_LIMIT - (default - 0) sets the maximum size of the time machine backup
• LOG_LEVEL - (default - info) sets the netatalk log level
• MIMIC_MODEL - (default TimeCapsule6,106) sets the value of time machine to mimic
• SHARE_NAME - (default TimeMachine) sets the name of the timemachine share to TimeMachine by default

Thanks for odarriba and arve0 for their examples to start from.
