openSUSE, formerly SUSE Linux, is a Linux distribution sponsored by SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH (formerly SUSE Linux GmbH) and other companies. Its "Leap" variant shares a common code base with, and is a direct upgradable installation for the commercially-produced SUSE Linux Enterprise, effectively making openSUSE Leap a non-commercial version of the enterprise product. It is widely used throughout the world. The focus of its development is creating usable open-source tools for software developers and system administrators, while providing a user-friendly desktop and feature-rich server environment.

Overview

This Docker container makes it easy to get an instance of SSHD up and running with openSUSE.

Based on Official openSUSE Leap Docker Image with some minor hack:

  • Packaging by Packer Docker builder and Ansible provisioner in single layer
  • Handle ENTRYPOINT with catatonit
  • Handle CMD with SSHD

Quick Start

Start SSHD:

# Pull latest image
docker pull alvistack/opensuse-leap-15.6

# Run as detach
docker run \
    -itd \
    --name opensuse \
    --publish 2222:22 \
    alvistack/opensuse-leap-15.6

Success. SSHD is now available on port 2222.

Because this container DIDN'T handle the generation of root password, so you should set it up manually with pwgen by:

# Generate password with pwgen
PASSWORD=$(docker exec -i opensuse pwgen -cnyB1); echo $PASSWORD

# Inject the generated password
echo "root:$PASSWORD" | docker exec -i opensuse chpasswd

Alternatively, you could inject your own SSH public key into container's authorized_keys by:

# Inject your own SSH public key
(docker exec -i opensuse sh -c "cat >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys") < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Now you could SSH to it as normal:

ssh root@localhost -p 2222
