hemedga/docker-https-ssh-tunnel

A docker container for setting up an https endpoint that reverse ssh port forward's to a local port on your system

To run this example you will need:

A server running docker with a DNS name pointing to it. (If you don't already have one setup, using docker-machine) can make it easier to setup and deploy to your server. Your server will need ports 80, 443, and 2222 open to the public.

The following instructions assume you're using docker-machine. This will definitely work without it, but you'll have to do a bit more manual copying of files. And you'll probably want to clone the repo on your server rather than locally.

• Clone this repo
• Replace identity.pub with your own public SSH key.
• Edit the environment file and replace replace.this.example.com with the DNS name of your server and [email protected] with your email.
• Letsencrypt has a pretty strict rate limit of 5 per week, so if you find yourself needing to debug things, uncomment the line LETSENCRYPT_TEST=true in the docker-compose.yml file. The test certs will by considered unsecure by browsers but it should let you test the basic functionality without hitting the rate limit.
• Then to launch the docker containers:

  eval $(docker-machine env your-server-name)
  source environment
  docker-compose up

• Now on your local machine you can test the tunnel with something like:

  python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000 .
  ./start_tunnel.sh 3000 whatever.your.domain.is

• Open browser to whatever.your.domain.is and you should see an "It works!"

If you need to make tunnel configuration changes (such as changing your public key), you'll likely need to remove the existing ssh-reverse-tunnel image to force it to rebuild.
