Docker-SSH-Sidecar

---

NOTE

This SSH is fine for LOCAL development environments. I strongly advice:

DON'T USE IT IN PRODUCTION!!!

---

IDEA

Docker is slow on Mac and Windows when woring with mounted volumes. Most IDE's like Eclipse, PHP-Storm, Webstorm, VSC,... are able to trigger upploads to SSH when files get saved.

HOW IT WORKS

There's an SSH Container running which is connected to a volume where your webservers document root is located. On each save action in your IDE an SSH upload will be triggered.

---

NOTE

This is a one way sync from source to target. The idea behind that is to to use a docker volume for your data (instead o a mounted volume). The volume is used to bypass the docker overlay bottleneck.

QUICKSTART

Start your example project

• Adjust the ENV Vars (SSH_PASSWORD + SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD) to connect with your passwords via SSH
• Integrate SSH into your project

docker-compose up -d --build --force-recreate --remove-orphans

Exaple docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.2'
services:
  #######################################
  # Apache
  #######################################
  web:
    image: httpd
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
       - target:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ 
 
  #######################################
  # Docker SSH Sidecar
  #######################################
  sshsidecar:
    environment:
      - SSH_PASSWORD=12345
      - SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD=1234567890
    image: sebastianzoll/docker-ssh-sidecar:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "2222:22"
    volumes:
      - target:/home/www-data
volumes:
  target:

Configure your IDE

Test your connection first with:

ssh -p 2222 root@localhost
ssh -p 2222 www-data@localhost
