Objective
This guide explains how to use Custom Container SSH Access on Ruk-Com Cloud PaaS, with ordered procedures and practical verification points.
Before you begin
- Sign in with an account permitted to manage the relevant environment.
- Confirm the target environment, region and resources before saving changes.
- Create a backup or rollback plan before changing a production system.
This is because custom containers do not have an embedded GUI for management. A common way to fully control such an instance is to connect to the instance via SSH protocol and perform desired actions within the container using the corresponding terminal commands.
- Note:Most Ruk-Com Cloud configurations can be done directly through the dashboard and do not require SSH with the following tools:
- Container Configurations- Customize the main container such as variables, volumes, linking, run options, ports, etc.
- Configuration Manager- Full root access to the container's file system and allows working with all assembly files.
- You can also use Ruk-Com Cloud's dedicated CLI client for remote management of all types of environments and nodes, and help automate your application lifecycle through scripting.
There are two ways to connect SSH to your container:
- Through the Ruk-Com Cloud Gateway, like any other environment, this can be done as follows:
- CreationSSH keypair
- Add Public SSH keyyours to the dashboard
- Account accessyour data via SSH protocol
- Or, if you don't want to use SSH keys, you can attach a public IP address to the desired node and follow these steps:
- openterminalemulator
- Enter a string.ssh [username]@[hostname]where username is the username you logged in with and hostname is the public IP address (where you receive these credentials via email every time a new container/environment is created or added).
- specifypasswordRequested (can also be viewed via email)
Once you are logged into your container You can make any desired configuration as it has full root permission.
Note:If you encounter problems while creating a container connection Check the firewall rules for your container to make sure.opensshThe server is running.
Reset Password
In case you forgot your container reference/lost/deleted email. You can perform a restore at any time - just press the gear icon, select Reset password for the required node (or set of nodes).
