psythagoras/rsync-ssh repository overview

⁠Rsync + SSH Docker Image

⁠What is Rsync and SSH?

SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. The best known example application is for remote login to computer systems by users.

Rsync is a utility for efficiently transferring and synchronizing files across computer systems, by checking the timestamp and size of files. It is commonly found on Unix-like systems and functions as both a file synchronization and file transfer program. The rsync algorithm is a type of delta encoding, and is used for minimizing network usage. Zlib may be used for additional compression, and SSH or stunnel can be used for data security.

This is a forked repo and adds the ca-certificates package that allows the image to be used on CircleCI.

⁠How to use this image

Just prepend rsync/ssh command with docker run instrumentisto/rsync-ssh.
