SSH Tunnel

This SSH Tunnel provides a simplistic way to set up an SSH tunnel to a remote host to securely connect without having to expose your host too much.

Usage

Private key file

The container assumes your private key doesn't have a password and is mounted under /private-ssh-key.

Configuration

• $PORT the port you want to forward
• $USERNAME the username for your ssh key
• $REMOTE_HOST the remote host you want to set up a local tunnel for
• $BIND_ADDRESS the address you want to bind the tunnel to. (default: 127.0.0.1)

Running the tunnel

$ docker run --rm -p "9200:9200" \
    -v $(pwd)/private-key:/private-ssh-key \
    -e PORT=9200 \
    -e USERNAME=elasticsearch \
    -e REMOTE_HOST=my-es-host \
