Wouldn’t it be nice

Wouldn’t it be nice if Docker integrated into the ssh ecosystem, allowing ssh into containers out-of-the box.

  • ssh to the container would work similarly to docker exec shells.

  • No need to install anything extra (sshd) in the containers, because the Docker daemon provides the ssh server.

  • Keys would be managed in Docker on the host, instead of needing to copy them into the container.

  • Env could be managed using Docker --env-file, which would be cleaner.
