Docker Machine SSH tunneling
Raw
docker-machine-ssh-tunneling.md

As described on the Docker Machine SSH reference, the docker-machine CLI invokes the standard OpenSSH client so we can use the common SSH tunneling syntax here. The following command will forward port 3000 from the default machine to localhost on your host computer's loopback interface. Using 0.0.0.0 as bind_address will make it bind to all interfaces:

$ docker-machine ssh default -L 0.0.0.0:3000:localhost:3000

So, the container running at machine's port 3000 can be reached through localhost:3000 or any of your interfaces' IP (i.e. 192.168.1.10:3000). That'd be useful to access your containerized services from other devices in your LAN.
