SSH into Docker Container

Date: 2023-04-07
This tutorial explains how to SSH into a Docker container, a practice generally discouraged for security reasons. While alternatives like docker exec
are recommended, SSH access might be necessary in some situations. The process involves having an SSH server running inside the container, a known container ID (found using docker ps
), and correct SSH credentials. The tutorial details using docker ps
to find container IDs and docker exec
as a safer alternative for running commands within a container. Common SSH issues like missing SSH installation or firewall problems are also addressed. Using SSH into Docker containers should be done cautiously and securely.
