Docker SSH Server and Client Setup

This project demonstrates how to create and configure two Docker containers: one as an SSH server and the other as an SSH client. The containers are managed using Docker Compose.

Features

• SSH Server: A container running an OpenSSH server configured for root login.
• SSH Client: A container designed to interact with the SSH server.
• Built from a common Dockerfile.
• Utilizes docker-compose for simplified management.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ahmedmaged6/openssh-containers.git
   cd openssh-containers

2. Build and start the containers:

   docker-compose up -d --build

3. Access the SSH client container:

   docker exec -it openssh-containers-ssh-client-1 bash

4. From the SSH client, connect to the SSH server:

   ssh root@openssh-containers-ssh-server-1

   The default password is 0.

Cleanup

Stop and remove the containers:

docker-compose down

Notes

• The ssh-server service is configured to always restart.
• The ssh-client service runs indefinitely with sleep infinity.
