cannot connect when using docker-ssh with compose

[tbeg]

The docker run command works just fine! But when I use it with compose (as below) the ssh connection always gets established/authenticated and then closed immediately......

api: build api etc....

ssh: image: jeroenpeeters/docker-ssh volumes:

• /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
• $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker environment:
• CONTAINER=my_api_name
• AUTH_MECHANISM=noAuth ports:
  • "2222:22"

Am I missing sth obvious? (I'm just starting with docker). If needed I can post ssh -v output here..

Regards, Thomas

Can you send me the logs from the docker-ssh container?

dockers logs <your_docker_ssh_container_name>

Couple of things you can check:

1. The name of your container (double check the name with docker ps)
2. I'm not sure if bash expansions (like $(which docker)) work with docker compose, I guess not. Make sure you know where the docker binary is located on your machine (do 'which docker' in a shell). Replace $(which docker) in your compose file with the actual path. Most likely it is /usr/bin/docker.

Please let me know how it went!

Nr. 2 did the trick for me! Replaced $(which docker) with local path and I'm in! It seems docker-compose cannot handle bash expansion like docker does..

Docker-ssh seems great tool in a docker dev environment. I'm aiming at remote debugging in PyCharm using ssh without having to add ssh to the images themselves

Thanks!

Great. Cool that you like it.

'without having to add ssh to the images themselves'

This is exactly why I created Docker-SSH. Let me know what you think, I can always use ideas to improve the tool.

Works great so far!

One little thing; its logging window resize events I could do without in the console

docker logs reacttutorial_ssh_1

docker-ssh@1.0.0 start /usr/src/app ./node_modules/coffee-script/bin/coffee server.coffee

Docker-SSH ~ Because every container should be accessible SSH listening on 0.0.0.0:22 Web listening on http://:::80 NoAuthentication handler is handling the authentication!

Maybe I can get rid of window-change messages myself?

well, currently I don't think you can. I'm preparing a newer version in which actually even more will be logged, so you can track what is happening.

Why exactly is this a problem for you? When running the container in the background (as daemon with -d) you shouldn't directly see this unless you check docker logs.

I'm preparing a python django dev environment for my collegues to work with. I include docker-ssh in the docker-compose.yml just so they don't have to docker run and remember the long commandline version; just ssh user@localhost -p 2222. They will mainly use docker-compose up not up -d to watch the other container logs..In that context I briefly considered the ssh container logs as polluting...I do not any longer. I found docker-compose run --service-ports which is just perfect. I can control django console logs, I can use python pdb debugger AND I trick docker-ssh to start by linking it in docker-compose.yml from the container I start with docker-compose run --service-ports... With that hopefully I can configure remote debugging over ssh in PyCharm.....

With PyCharm ssh/sftp I now encounter an error (Connection to 'localhost' failed. Failed to send channel request). I will create an issue if that error persists
