SSH

The project uses ssh to communicate between the container running logmap and the container running the rest server.

Running locally

SSH keys are not checked in to source control. To run locally you will need to add your own key for the containers to use.

Generate a new key

If you already have a ssh key you can use, skip to adding your key to service.

• Use the ssh-keygen tool to create a new ssh key on your machine.

ssh-keygen

• Follow the steps. This will generate a new public and private key for you to use.

Adding your key to services

• Create a new directory names .ssh inside rest-server.
• Add into the new directory your private key. The server will use this to authenticate against the logmap container.
• Add your public key (id_rsa.pub) into the root of the logmap directory.

Testing

To confirm the setup has worked:

• spin up both logmap and rest-server with docker-compose.
• docker exec into the rest-server container
• run ssh user@logmap.
• Easy checks to confirm it has worked it running a command like java as this binary is only present inside logmap container.
