A Dockerfile for Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat based systems that creates an image with supervisord running sshd that uses SSH keys for authentication.

Dockerfile-supervisor

##
#
# setup:
#   - generate an ssh key to be used as an authentication key with `ssh-keygen` and call it `docker_ssh_rsa`
#   - make sure your current ssh agent has the identity file added
#     - $ eval `ssh-agent`
#     - $ ssh-add docker_ssh_rsa
#
# build: $ sudo docker build -t <you>/spvssh .
#
# run: $ sudo docker run -d -p 8022:22 <you>/spvssh
#
# ssh access: $ ssh root@localhost -p 8022

Hello,

I am having issues SSHing to the container. It is basically asking for a password even though I am providing the ssh private key. Have you had any issues like that?

Thanks.
