How to enable SSH inside Docker container

Question

Hi Guys,

By default SSH is not working inside docker container. But I want to enable SSH inside docker so that jenkins server can login. Can anyone tell me how can I enable SSH server inside Docker?

Hi@akhtar,

To enable SSH inside Docker Container, you have to create one configuration file that contains permissions and host keys as given below.

$ vi sshd_config

• Write down these below lines inside sshd_config file.

• Create one Dockerfile that will download all the required software.

• Build this Dockerfile, so that it will create one customize image with SSH access. 

Now you can launch one Docker container using this image that has SSH enabled.
