Start sshd automatically with docker container
Question
Given:
- container based on ubuntu:13.10
- installed ssh (via
apt-get install ssh
)
Problem: each when I start container I have to run sshd manually service ssh start
Tried: update-rc.d ssh defaults
, but it does not helps.
Question: how to setup container to start sshd service automatically during container start?

OTHER TIPS
Just try:
ENTRYPOINT service ssh restart && bash
in your dockerfile, it works fun for me!
more details here: How to automatically start a service when running a docker container?
Here is a Dockerfile
which installs ssh server and runs it:
# Build Ubuntu image with base functionality.
FROM ubuntu:focal AS ubuntu-base
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-o", "pipefail", "-c"]
# Setup the default user.
RUN useradd -rm -d /home/ubuntu -s /bin/bash -g root -G sudo ubuntu
RUN echo 'ubuntu:ubuntu' | chpasswd
USER ubuntu
WORKDIR /home/ubuntu
# Build image with Python and SSHD.
FROM ubuntu-base AS ubuntu-with-sshd
USER root
# Install required tools.
RUN apt-get -qq update \
&& apt-get -qq --no-install-recommends install vim-tiny=2:8.1.* \
&& apt-get -qq --no-install-recommends install sudo=1.8.* \
&& apt-get -qq --no-install-recommends install python3-pip=20.0.* \
&& apt-get -qq --no-install-recommends install openssh-server=1:8.* \
&& apt-get -qq clean \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Configure SSHD.
# SSH login fix. Otherwise user is kicked off after login
RUN sed 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' -i /etc/pam.d/sshd
RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd
RUN bash -c 'install -m755 <(printf "#!/bin/sh\nexit 0") /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d'
RUN ex +'%s/^#\zeListenAddress/\1/g' -scwq /etc/ssh/sshd_config
RUN ex +'%s/^#\zeHostKey .*ssh_host_.*_key/\1/g' -scwq /etc/ssh/sshd_config
RUN RUNLEVEL=1 dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
RUN ssh-keygen -A -v
RUN update-rc.d ssh defaults
# Configure sudo.
RUN ex +"%s/^%sudo.*$/%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL/g" -scwq! /etc/sudoers
# Generate and configure user keys.
USER ubuntu
RUN ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
#COPY --chown=ubuntu:root "./files/authorized_keys" /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
# Setup default command and/or parameters.
EXPOSE 22
CMD ["/usr/bin/sudo", "/usr/sbin/sshd", "-D", "-o", "ListenAddress=0.0.0.0"]
Build with the following command:
docker build --target ubuntu-with-sshd -t ubuntu-with-sshd .
Then run with:
docker run -p 2222:22 ubuntu-with-sshd
To connect to container via local port, run: ssh -v localhost -p 2222
.
To check for container IP address, use docker ps
and docker inspect
.
Here is example of docker-compose.yml
file:
---
version: '3.4'
services:
ubuntu-with-sshd:
image: "ubuntu-with-sshd:latest"
build:
context: "."
target: "ubuntu-with-sshd"
networks:
mynet:
ipv4_address: 172.16.128.2
ports:
- "2222:22"
privileged: true # Required for /usr/sbin/init
networks:
mynet:
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 172.16.128.0/24
To run, type:
docker-compose up --build
I think the correct way to do it would follow docker's instructions to dockerizing the ssh service.
And in correlation to the specific question, the following lines added at the end of the dockerfile will achieve what you were looking for:
EXPOSE 22
CMD ["/usr/sbin/sshd", "-D"]
I have created dockerfiler to run ssh inside. I think it is not secure, but for testing/development in DMZ it could be ok:
FROM ubuntu:20.04
USER root
# change root password to `ubuntu`
RUN echo 'root:ubuntu' | chpasswd
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
# install ssh server
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
openssh-server sudo \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# workdir for ssh
RUN mkdir -p /run/sshd
# generate server keys
RUN ssh-keygen -A
# allow root to login
RUN sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
EXPOSE 22
# run ssh server
CMD ["/usr/sbin/sshd", "-D", "-o", "ListenAddress=0.0.0.0"]
You can start ssh server when starting your container probably. Something like this:
docker run ubuntu /usr/sbin/sshd -D
Check out this official tutorial.
This is what I did:
FROM nginx
# install gosu
# seealso:
# https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/
# https://github.com/tianon/gosu/blob/master/INSTALL.md
# https://github.com/tianon/gosu
RUN set -eux; \
apt-get update; \
apt-get install -y gosu; \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*; \
# verify that the binary works
gosu nobody true
ENV myenv='default'
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openssh-server
RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd
COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
ENV AIRFLOW_HOME=/usr/local/airflow
RUN mkdir $AIRFLOW_HOME
RUN groupadd --gid 8080 airflow
RUN useradd --uid 8080 --gid 8080 -ms /bin/bash -d $AIRFLOW_HOME airflow
RUN echo 'airflow:mypass' | chpasswd
EXPOSE 22
CMD ["/entrypoint.sh"]
Inside entrypoint.sh:
echo "starting ssh as root"
gosu root service ssh start &
#gosu root /usr/sbin/sshd -D &
echo "starting tail user"
exec gosu airflow tail -f /dev/null
Well, I used the following command to solve that
docker run -i -t mycentos6 /bin/bash -c '/etc/init.d/sshd start && /bin/bash'
First login to your container and write an initialization script /bin/init
as following:
# execute in the container
cat <<EOT >> /bin/init
#!/bin/bash
service ssh start
while true; do sleep 1; done
EOT
Then make the root
user is permitted to logging via ssh:
# execute in the container
echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Commit the container to a new image after exiting from the container:
# execute in the server
docker commit <YOUR_CONTAINER> <ANY_REPO>:<ANY_TAG>
From now on, as long as you run your container with the following command, the ssh service will be automatically started.
# execute in the server
docker run -it -d --name <NAME> <REPO>:<TAG> /bin/init
docker exec -it <NAME> /bin/bash
Done.
