Simple Debian docker images with SSH access
To create the image tutum/debian with one tag per Debian release,
execute the following commands on the tutum-debian folder:
dcoker build -t tutum/debian:latest .
docker build -t tutum/debian:squeeze squeeze
docker build -t tutum/debian:wheezy wheezy
To run a container from the image you created earlier with the wheezy tag
binding it to port 2222 in all interfaces, execute:
docker run -d -p 2222:22 tutum/debian:wheezy
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 container via SSH using:
ssh -p <port> root@<host>
and enter the root password 'U0iSGVUCr7W3' when prompted
Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
========================================================================
In this case, U0iSGVUCr7W3 is the password allocated to the root user.
Done!
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" tutum/debian:wheezy
If you want to use ssh key for login, you can use AUTHORIZED_KEYS environment variable. The public keys are separated by ,:
docker run -d -p 2222:22 AUTHORIZED_KEYS="pubkey1, pubkey2, pubkey3" tutum/debian:latest
If you put the corresponding private key under ~/.ssh/ where you run ssh command, you will not be asked to input the password.
