deploy-ssh

A docker image for automated deployments via ssh.
Also adds bash for scripting and curl for quick post-deployment tests.

Usage

Use like any other docker image. It's URL is joshkeegan/deploy-ssh:latest. See Docker Hub for specific version tags.

If connecting to a remote server over SSH (automated), pre-generate SSH keys and put the public one on the user & server you are connecting to.
Then, when you use the image have it use the private key:

echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY" > ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Keep your private keys secure!

• Pass them through your build pipeline as secure variables.
• Ensure they are not printed in logs.
• If anyone else can access the containers, destroy them after use or remove keys from within the container once you are finished using it.
