# Dockamole
|
|
|
|
Example bridging connections across two distinct Docker networks using [`mole`](https://github.com/davrodpin/mole).
|
|
|
|
My real use case is something like a remote LDAP server that I don't want to expose to the public internet and some metrics servers only available behind a VPN. This setup will allow me to create a proxy container on a host that will act as a local LDAP or HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
Eg.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+
|
|
| | | | | |
|
|
| | | Firewall | | |
|

|
|
| Local | tunnel +----------+ tunnel | Remote |
|

## Running
|
|
|
|
Requires you to provide your own ssh keys as well as provide the local machine IP address
|
|
|
|
Dockamole is configured using environment variables:
|
|
|
|
# Required
|
|
MOLE_LOCAL_? indexed local host and port
|
|
MOLE_REMOTE_? indexed remote host and port
|
|
MOLE_SERVER ssh server to connect to
|
|
# Optional
|
|
MAX_TUNNELS number of tunnels allowed (default 10)
|
|
SSH_KEY path to ssh private key that should be used (default ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
|
|
|
|
## Use in production
|
|
|
|
This example uses [panubo/sshd](https://github.com/panubo/docker-sshd), which seems well maintained enough. I would advise caution though as this is likely something that will have access to sensitive information.
|
|
|
|
To be safe you should take precautions from someone logging into your server directly. In my example, I'm using the following as my `authorized_keys` file:
|
|
|
|
no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,command="/bin/echo do-not-send-commands" ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDeG0iBsd5P9ZwDlav7mWaMGiq4SH5XvYGEGoZPgC3PjKgiEpe5lxH9p5lOFicqG7nNBaTwJwDPnJJaIIeHeCcpKF9f5RhTA5rwLkPcVIwZTh2GL7PD/yDmnsB1L8v04yTzjvJxHAi+xx+yN0fcxw2IOJ4k4FC1mNJKNwHZZHvzEyvRbC0GUB1K32dKSDUAWQHKx7xJqgtpkZ0DV78GzBfNUZcucImRwjQTBlJFumTjB5k0xUt0NRDLEkHwUMyiAeXB13tfjZipEHCWPxIrQnuwmV4Lb3VFbh8UqeObsarxG9t+SMoxnrKxQCAntcS0do1VjfiGr6usGVsV56ua8Tyj ifij@C02V7083HV2V
|

|
|
This prevents getting a shell if my key is ever leaked.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if you are actually planning on doing this in production, do not use the `-insecure` flag in `./mole/start.sh`. Instead you should provide pre generated server keys and add those as known hosts for `mole`.
