Otherwise user is kicked off after login 26 RUN sed 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' -i /etc/pam.d/sshd 27 28 ENV NOTVISIBLE "in users profile" 29 RUN echo "export VISIBLE=now" >> /etc/profile 30 31 EXPOSE 22 32 CMD ["/usr/sbin/sshd", "-D"] 33 34 Build the image using: 35 36 $ sudo docker build -t eg_sshd . 37 38 ## Run a `test_sshd` container 39 40 Then run it. You can then use `docker port` to find out what host port 41 the container's port 22 is mapped to: 42 43 $ sudo docker run -d -P --name test_sshd eg_sshd 44 $ sudo docker port test_sshd 22 45 0.0.0.0:49154 46 47 And now you can ssh as `root` on the container's IP address (you can find it 48 with `docker inspect`) or on port `49154` of the Docker daemon's host IP address 49 (`ip address` or `ifconfig` can tell you that) or `localhost` if on the 50 Docker daemon host: 51 52 $ ssh root@192.168.1.2 -p 49154 53 # The password is ``screencast``. 54 $$ 55 56 ## Environment variables 57 58 Using the `sshd` daemon to spawn shells makes it complicated to pass environment 59 variables to the user's shell via the normal Docker mechanisms, as `sshd` scrubs 60 the environment before it starts the shell. 61 62 If you're setting values in the `Dockerfile` using `ENV`, you'll need to push them 63 to a shell initialization file like the `/etc/profile` example in the `Dockerfile` 64 above. 65 66 If you need to pass`docker run -e ENV=value` values, you will need to write a 67 short script to do the same before you start `sshd -D` and then replace the 68 `CMD` with that script. 69 70 ## Clean up 71 72 Finally, clean up after your test by stopping and removing the 73 container, and then removing the image. 74 75 $ sudo docker stop test_sshd 76 $ sudo docker rm test_sshd 77 $ sudo docker rmi eg_sshd 78
