Running/Using

Without SSH Agent Forwarding

Use these commands if you never intend to use SSH agent forwarding. Run the container with

docker run -d --name alpine-dev alpine-dev

Get a shell inside the container with the command

docker exec -it alpine-dev /bin/bash

With SSH Agent Forwarding

This assumes that the socket used for forwarding (should be at /tmp/ssh-asdfasdf/agent.12345 or similar), and the environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK that points to this file, are present. Run the container with

docker run -d --mount 'type=bind,src=/tmp,dst=/tmp' --name alpine-dev alpine-dev

Get a shell inside the container with the command

docker exec -it --env SSH_AUTH_SOCK=${SSH_AUTH_SOCK} alpine-dev /bin/bash
