  • Consolidate the chaos of Windows ssh-agent into one.

    Then, for some special situations (e.g. running a suite a few tools that are useful for me and some other devs on my team), the quick solution is to simply just setup a Dockerfile based on alpine:latest and install the other tools/apps I need that require SSH key forwarding, like capistrano. I already have putty agent running on my host machine with ssh-pageant which connects my Cygwin instance to that. But anyway, on the container, I just setup basic sshd there, login with keys and enable agent forwarding and then run my tools there that then hop on to the remote server (using my forwarded agent).
