TL;DR: as a user I might want to test ssh_run or other SSH commands to a local Docker container. For this, I would propose to add a flag allow_localhost, defaulted to false, in the $sshOptions to offer the user the ability to skip the "running ssh command over localhost" check
I'm giving a try to castor 𦫠(thanks to @lyrixx who shared his talk slides in X π ) in order to write the configuration of my client's VPS as code.
This will mostly be ssh_run and ssh_upload directives. To ensure total recovery, I would like to test the whole set of tasks over a dedicated server. This is why I'm working on a local Docker container (basically a debian base image with the relevant ssh config on top of it) to be able to wipe and start over (using the --force-recreate Docker option).
However, when testing my Castor 𦫠tasks I face some Permission denied error that, after digging, revealed to be caused by the local command override in the Ssh::getExecuteCommand().
Although I understand this check, as a developer I would like to be allowed to overcome this by specifying a boolean $sshOptions named allow_localhost and defaulted to false to keep nominal behavior.
It's definitely not an urgent feature, and I would love to propose a patch for it it's π for you guys.
