Bastion SSH Tunnel

Docker image for setting up SSH port forwarding tunnel through a Bastion host.

Usage

The example command

export BASTION_SSH_KEYFILE=${PWD}/private.key
docker run --rm -it -e [email protected] -e REMOTE_HOST=secret.example.com -e REMOTE_PORT=5432 -v ${BASTION_SSH_KEYFILE}:/private.key:ro -p 127.0.0.1:9005:8000 skylander/bastion-ssh-tunnel

will set up a local port forward on port 9005 to port 5432 (REMOTE_PORT) on host secret.example.com (REMOTE_HOST) through the Bastion bastion.example.com (BASTION_HOST). This is especially convenient when you have servers hidden behind private networks (e.g., VPC).

Alternatively, you can use the image in Docker compose. See docker-compose.yml for an example.
