Forward SSH agent socket into a container

Still experimental -- contact [email protected] or [email protected] if you want help.

Installation

Assuming you have a /usr/local

$ git clone git://github.com/uber-common/docker-ssh-agent-forward
$ cd docker-ssh-agent-forward
$ make
$ make install

On every boot, do:

pinata-ssh-forward

and the you can run pinata-ssh-mount to get a Docker CLI fragment that adds the SSH agent socket and sets SSH_AUTH_SOCK within the container.

$ pinata-ssh-mount
-v ssh-agent:/ssh-agent -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh-agent/ssh-agent.sock

$ docker run -it $(pinata-ssh-mount) 
/ssh-agent-forward ssh -T [email protected]

Hi avsm! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

To fetch the latest image, do:

pinata-ssh-pull

Troubleshooting

If pinata-ssh-forward fails to run, run ssh-add -l. If there are no identities, then run ssh-add.

Developing

To build an image yourself rather than fetching from Docker Hub, run ./pinata-ssh-build.sh from your clone of this repo.

We didn't bother installing the build script with the Makefile since using the hub image should be the common case.
