This Docker container makes it easy to get an instance of SSHD up and running with Fedora.
Based on Official Fedora Docker Image with some minor hack:
- Packaging by Packer Docker builder and Ansible provisioner in single layer
- Handle
ENTRYPOINTwith catatonit - Handle
CMDwith SSHD
Start SSHD:
# Pull latest image
docker pull alvistack/fedora-41
# Run as detach
docker run \
-itd \
--name fedora \
--publish 2222:22 \
alvistack/fedora-41
Success. SSHD is now available on port 2222.
Because this container DIDN'T handle the generation of root
password, so you should set it up manually with pwgen by:
# Generate password with pwgen
PASSWORD=$(docker exec -i fedora pwgen -cnyB1); echo $PASSWORD
# Inject the generated password
echo "root:$PASSWORD" | docker exec -i fedora chpasswd
Alternatively, you could inject your own SSH public key into container's authorized_keys by:
# Inject your own SSH public key
(docker exec -i fedora sh -c "cat >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys") < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Now you could SSH to it as normal:
ssh root@localhost -p 2222
