Reverse SSH server (with optional Web front end)

SSH login to a Linux device behind firewall/mobile networks. Suggested uses:

• Support customers/friends computers
• Remote control IOT devices
• Development/Debugging

Requirements

• Server/Desktop with Docker, and public IP address.
• Devices to connect to. Must have an SSH client and wget or curl

To install/run on server

docker run -d --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
           -e "SSHHOST=<host>" \                   #This is the public IP or Domain
           -p <port>:<port> -e "HTTPSPORT=<port>" \  #HTTPS port (e.g 8000)
           -p <port>:<port> -e "SSHPORT=<port>" \     #SSH port (e.g 221)
           --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
           logicethos/revssh

e.g: .. code:

docker run -d -e "SSHHOST=rssh.mydomain.com" -p 8000:8000 -e "HTTPSPORT=8000" -p 221:22  -e "SSHPORT=221" --restart always logicethos/revssh

To Use

Go to https://<host>:<https port> and click on "Terminal SSH". Type in:

ssh://admin@localhost:22

OR from another console

ssh admin@<host> -p <ssh port>

The default password is admin. Change this!

At the top of the login screen, you will see a wget & curl command line. One of these can be used to initiate connection from the remote client. Or you can visit

https://<host>:<https port>/info for instructions.
