# Docker mod for openssh-server
This mod adds ssh tunnelling to openssh-server, by enabling tcp forwarding during container start.
In openssh-server docker arguments, set an environment variable `DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:openssh-server-ssh-tunnel`
Note: `GatewayPorts` is set to `clientspecified`, this moves the responsibility to define the gateway host of the port to the client that opens the tunnel, e.g. `*:8080` to forward 8080 to all connection, default is localhost only.
In addition it is still necessary to expose the same port on the container level, using either the `--expose` (only to other containers) or the `--port` (expose on host level/internet) run options (or the counterparts in docker-compose).
Example:
When creating the container with the following setup:
```
version: '2'
services:
ssh-tunnel:
image: linuxserver/openssh-server
environment:
- PUBLIC_KEY_FILE=/config/id_rsa.pub
- TCP_FORWARDING=true
- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:openssh-server-ssh-tunnel
volumes:
- ./id_rsa.pub:/config/id_rsa.pub
expose:
- 30000
ports:
- 2222:2222
```
It's possible to expose the clients port 8080 through the containers port 30000 like this:
```
ssh -R *:30000:localhost:8080 example.com -p 2222
```
Port 30000 will then only be available to other containers (e.g. a web server acting as a reverse proxy), when using `ports` instead of `expose` the port would be accessible from the host (and the network it resides in, e.g. the internet). The client command can be automated using autossh.
