SSH access

This API requires at least auterion-app-api: 2 to be available
Directly accessing your app via SSH can be beneficial, especially for debugging. 
Enabling direct SSH access
1. Enable SSH port forwarding
In the auterion-app.yml file, enable SSH port forwarding by adding ssh: true
...auterion-app.yml...
services:
    <my-service-name>:
        build: <location of Dockerfile>
        ssh: true
2. Make sure you have openssh-server installed in your app
Make sure your app image contains openssh-server . If you are using the auterion/app-base:v2 base image, you already have openssh-server
3. Create an SSH keypair
Create an SSH key-pair to use to access your app. You can do this from the command line
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f my-app-key
4. Insert public key in your app, start SSHd
In your Dockerfile add your public key to the authorized keys. The public key can be found in my-app-key.pub.
RUN echo "ssh-ed25519 ....." >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
Change the command in your Dockerfile to make sure to launch sshd with your app like so
CMD /usr/sbin/sshd && ./my-app
5. Access app
Now build and install the app. You can then use auterion-cli app list to find out the SSH port you got assigned for your app. 

You can then SSH into your app with
ssh -i my-app-key -p <port from auterion-cli app list> [email protected]
