ssh_tunnel_for_docker.md

I wanted to connect from a docker container on a prod server to an SVN server on my laptop today. The steps were tricky, so here they are:

ssh tunnel

Exposing the local port to the prod server is pretty straightforward

laptop$ ssh -R 4204:127.0.0.1:4204 myserver

docker networking

Letting docker access the server's 127.0.0.1:4204 took a little bit more digging to figure out.

laptop$ ssh myserver
server$ docker run -i -t --rm --net=host image:latest /bin/bash -l
docker$ curl http://127.0.0.1:4204
SUCCESS
