Using ssh-agent with docker on macOS

Question

I would like to use ssh-agent to forward my keys into the docker image and pull from a private github repo.

I am using a slightly modified version of https://github.com/

Answer 1

A one-liner:

Here’s how to set it up on Ubuntu 16 running a Debian Jessie image:

docker run --rm -it --name container_name \
-v $(dirname $SSH_AUTH_SOCK):$(dirname $SSH_AUTH_SOCK) \
-e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK my_image
