Out-of-the-box Debian docker image with SSH access

debian-ssh

Simple Debian docker images with SSH access

Usage

To create the image debian-ssh with latest Debian release, execute the following commands on the debian-ssh folder:

git checkout master
dcoker build -t tomxiong/debian-ssh

Running debian-ssh

To run a container from the image binding it to port 2222 in all interfaces, execute:

docker run -d -p 2222:22 tomxiong/debian-ssh

The first time that you run your container, a random password will be generated for user root. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

You will see an output like the following:

========================================================================
You can now connect to this debian-ssh container via SSH using:

    ssh -p <port> root@<host>
and enter the root password 'UCr7W3U0iSGV' when prompted

Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
========================================================================

In this case, UCr7W3U0iSGV is the password allocated to the root user.

Done!

Setting a specific password for the root account

If you want to use a preset password instead of a random generated one, you can set the environment variable ROOT_PASS to your specific password when running the container:

docker run -d -p 2222:22 -e ROOT_PASS="mypass" tomxiong/debian-ssh
