 title: Dockerize an SSH service
 ---
 
-## Build an `eg_sshd` image
+Running sshd inside a container is discouraged, however, it might be still useful
+for certain use cases such as port forwarding.
 
-### Generate a secure root password for your image
-
-Using a static password for root access is dangerous. Create a random password before proceeding.
-
-### Build the image
-
-The following `Dockerfile` sets up an SSHd service in a container that you
-can use to connect to and inspect other container's volumes, or to get
-quick access to a test container. Make the following substitutions:
-
-- With `RUN echo 'root:THEPASSWORDYOUCREATED' | chpasswd`, replace "THEPASSWORDYOUCREATED" with the password you've previously generated.
-- With `RUN sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config`, use `without-password` instead of `prohibit-password` for Ubuntu 14.04.
-
-```dockerfile
-FROM ubuntu:20.04
-
-RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openssh-server
-RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd
-RUN echo 'root:THEPASSWORDYOUCREATED' | chpasswd
-RUN sed -i 's/#*PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-
-# SSH login fix. Otherwise user is kicked off after login
-RUN sed -i 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' /etc/pam.d/sshd
-
-ENV NOTVISIBLE="in users profile"
-RUN echo "export VISIBLE=now" >> /etc/profile
-
-EXPOSE 22
-CMD ["/usr/sbin/sshd", "-D"]
-```
-
-
-Build the image using:
-
-```bash
-$ docker build -t eg_sshd .
-```
-## Run a `test_sshd` container
-
-Then run it. You can then use `docker port` to find out what host port
-the container's port 22 is mapped to:
-
-```bash
-$ docker run -d -P --name test_sshd eg_sshd
-$ docker port test_sshd 22
-
-0.0.0.0:49154
-```
-
-And now you can ssh as `root` on the container's IP address (you can find it
-with `docker inspect`) or on port `49154` of the Docker daemon's host IP address
-(`ip address` or `ifconfig` can tell you that) or `localhost` if on the
-Docker daemon host:
-
-```bash
-$ ssh root@192.168.1.2 -p 49154
-# or
-$ ssh root@localhost -p 49154
-# The password is ``screencast``.
-root@f38c87f2a42d:/#
-```
-
-## Environment variables
-
-Using the `sshd` daemon to spawn shells makes it complicated to pass environment
-variables to the user's shell via the normal Docker mechanisms, as `sshd` scrubs
-the environment before it starts the shell.
-
-If you're setting values in the `Dockerfile` using `ENV`, you need to push them
-to a shell initialization file like the `/etc/profile` example in the `Dockerfile`
-above.
-
-If you need to pass`docker run -e ENV=value` values, you need to write a
-short script to do the same before you start `sshd -D` and then replace the
-`CMD` with that script.
-
-## Clean up
-
-Finally, clean up after your test by stopping and removing the
-container, and then removing the image.
-
-```bash
-$ docker container stop test_sshd
-$ docker container rm test_sshd
-$ docker image rm eg_sshd
-```
