SSH Agent forwarding inside docker compose container

Question

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

I am following the approach of mounting the $SSH_AUTH_SOCK as a volume, but doing so with compose.

Answer 1

The previous accepted answer using whilp/ssh-agent did not work for me for some reason (it worked before but since last changes it doesn't and I don't know why) so I created my own agent container:

docker-ssh-agent

based on minimal alpine:3.4 base image. So anyone still having trouble with this on OSX, check the README it's now really easy to get it up and running!
