Installing Private Packages in Docker Image - Notes - 20/08/2023
Personal Notes
Quick notes about how to forward an ssh agent and other tricks regarding the installation of python packages.
Using SSH Forwarding
Exporting the $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
environment variable in the image.
$ docker run -rm -t -i -v $(dirname $SSH_AUTH_SOCK) -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK ubuntu /bin/bash
Or in the environment
section of a compose file.
environment:
SSH_AUTH_SOCK: $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Eventual Issues with that
- Installing ssh in the container
- Adding entries to
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
Caveats
- Traces of ssh keys inside the image
