Apache ftpserver docker container

I’m trying to run FTP service using Apache ftpserver in docker container.
The container starts up with no issue and able to login in. However, it fails to make a data connection using passive mode.
So far it is running locally and external ip is not set so I would assume it grabs the internal local ip.

I tried with or without setting the external ip (setPassiveExternalAddress) no luck.

Did anyone successfully run Apache ftpserver with docker container?

    This Dockerfile works for me (see comments inside on how to use it)

    FROM openjdk:13-jdk-alpine

# Build this with:
# docker build -t "apache_mina_ftpserver:1.1.1" .

# Run this with:
# docker run -v /tmp:apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/res/home/ -p 2121-2199:2121-2199 -d apache_mina_ftpserver:1.1.1

# Then connect with
# ftp -p localhost 2121
# and log in with admin:admin

RUN wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/ftpserver/1.1.1/dist/apache-ftpserver-1.1.1.zip
RUN unzip -q apache-ftpserver-1.1.1.zip

# configure additional passive ports
RUN sed -i 's#</ssl>#</ssl><data-connection><passive ports="2122-2199"/></data-connection>#g' apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/res/conf/ftpd-typical.xml

EXPOSE 2121-2199
CMD ["sh", "-c", "apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/bin/ftpd.sh res/conf/ftpd-typical.xml"]

    Based on Orbiter’s configuration, I changed it to port 21. And also fixed a typo in his docker file.

    FROM openjdk:13-jdk-alpine

# Build this with:
# docker build -t "apache_mina_ftpserver:1.1.1" .

# Run this with:
# docker run --name ftpd -v /tmp:/apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/res/home/:z -p 2122-2199:2122-2199 -p 21:21 -d apache_mina_ftpserver:1.1.1

# Then connect with
# ftp -p localhost 21
# and log in with admin:admin

RUN wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/ftpserver/1.1.1/dist/apache-ftpserver-1.1.1.zip
RUN unzip -q apache-ftpserver-1.1.1.zip

# configure additional passive ports
RUN sed -i 's#</ssl>#</ssl><data-connection><passive ports="2122-2199"/></data-connection>#g' apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/res/conf/ftpd-typical.xml
RUN sed -i 's/2121/21/g' apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/res/conf/ftpd-typical.xml

# If you'd like to configure the admin password, remove the comment of below line and change <yourpassword> to your own password. Get your password by using echo -n 'yourpassword' | md5sum
# RUN sed -i 's/21232F297A57A5A743894A0E4A801FC3/<yourpassword>/g' apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/res/conf/users.properties

EXPOSE 21
EXPOSE 2122-2199
CMD ["sh", "-c", "apache-ftpserver-1.1.1/bin/ftpd.sh res/conf/ftpd-typical.xml"]
