SSH transport

[rakshith-ravi]

Instead of exposing a TCP socket from docker to the network to remotely manage, it'd be nice to be able to SSH into the machine and run the commands we need to run.

The docker cli allows us to do this using the -H ssh://user@hostname command line flag.

It would be nice to have an SSH transport option in shiplift as well.

I'd be happy to implement this, but I have no clue where to start. Any guidance would be helpful

Hm, this is really a nice idea, but I'm not sure whether it is doable. In my companies project, we tunnel the docker socket via SSH and then use the socket to connect to the remote docker instances. That works reasonably well for now.

That said, TCP seems to be the preffered way, but if you can mock something together I'll surely have a look at it!
