fxmartin/docker-sshd-nginx repository overview

⁠docker-sshd-nginx

Dockerfile for building docker container with passwordless sshd server and nginx serving static page. This is mostly a template for creating more useful docker images.

⁠About

This repository contains all needed resources to build a docker image with following features:

• sshd with passwordless login;
• nginx running and serving simple static page;
• services configured and runnign via supervisord.

For convenience there is a ./manage.sh command for building, starting (with proper port mappings), stopping and connecting via ssh.

⁠Why forking the original viliusl/docker-sshd-nginx?

Mainly to apply best practices⁠ in order to optimize the building process and the resulting size of the image

• Ease later changes by sorting multi-line arguments alphanumerically
• Avoid RUN apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade -y --no-install-recommends
• Don’t do RUN apt-get update on a single line (but along with apt-get install)
• Do NOT use DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

As a matter of fact it proved to reduce the image size by a mere 45 Mb (based on ubuntu/precise) for what it's worth.

⁠Usage

You can download this image⁠ from public Docker Registry⁠. A bash script is provided: manage.sh, which allows to manage the container, considering that it won't stop by itself due to supervisor daemon:

• start: to start the container
• stop: to stop the container
• build: build the docker image
• ssh: ssh to the container
• web: launch chrome with the IP automatically retrieved from the script
• proc: launch chrome with the supervisord web ui (user = admin, password = admin)

Run using command:

docker run -d -p 55522:22 -p 55580:80 fxmartin/ubuntu-sshd-nginx
or
manage.sh start

Connect via ssh:

manage.sh ssh

⁠Screenshots

Image 1 - nginx welcome page

Image 2 - supervisord web ui to manage processes

⁠Notes

Just don't forget to add private key (yeah, I know) from ssh_keys folder to you '~/.ssh/' and add it via

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa_docker

Removed docker calls via sudo as it is not best practice for a local docker installation.
