Tunnelling into docker container using ssh

Setup the SSH server

1. Ensure Step 1.3 of ‘Running via Docker’ have been performed.

2. Follow Step 1.4.1 to connect to a running container.

3. Enter the following command in the bash shell created in the previous step.

   sudo start-ssh-server.sh
   

   This will enable remote access to the docker container from your host machine through ssh tunnelling.

Important

Running the script above, changes the password of the default user of the docker container (jovyan) to ‘admin’.

SSH tunnelling into the running container

From a terminal or PowerShell on your host machine, enter the following:

ssh jovyan@localhost -p 10001

This will allow you to tunnel into the running container.
