autossh-docker

A minimal Dockerfile for autossh with automatic reconnection, running as a regular user.

Usage

Example docker-compose configuration:

1. Make myhost:8086 reachable within a Docker network through myhost-influxdb:8086:

     myhost-influxdb:
       image: autossh
       volumes:
         - type: bind
           source: $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
           target: /home/app/.ssh/id_rsa
           read_only: true
         - type: bind
           source: $HOME/.ssh/config
           target: /home/app/.ssh/config
           read_only: true
       command: ['-N', '-L', '8086:localhost:8086', 'myhost']

2. Or exposing :8086 by the host:

     myhost-influxdb:
       # <same as above>
       command: ['-N', '-L', '0.0.0.0:8086:localhost:8086', 'myhost']
       ports: ['127.0.0.1:8086:8086']
