PORTAL

An SSH tunnel helper tool for remote docker containers

Why?

We run our docker containers without binding any ports to public IPs. But we need to access them sometimes, e.g., run SQL scripts, access PhpMyAdmin / Mongo Express.

Creating an SSL tunnel is easy, but it's even easier with the portal!

How?

portal helps to establish SSH tunnels by providing additional options:

Listing all running containers and their exposed ports

portal ls <host>

Creating a tunnel

portal bind <host> <container[:port]> [<local port>]

Creating a tunnel with an usable remote shell

portal connect <host> <container[:port]> [<local port>]

Install
