SSH4Me

SSH4Me is a Docker container that provides secure root access to development environments via an Ngrok tunnel. With configuration for root login and common development ports, SSH4Me makes it easy to access your environment securely from anywhere, including platforms like Railway.

Requirements

To use SSH4Me, you will need:

  • A GitHub account to fork the SSH4Me repository
  • An ngrok account to get an authentication token
  • Docker installed on your local machine if you want to run SSH4Me locally

Installation and Setup

  • Fork the SSH4Me Repository on GitHub

    The first step is to fork the SSH4Me repository on GitHub. To do this click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner of the page.

  • Sign up for an ngrok Account and Get Your Authentication Token

    You will need this token when you build the Docker container on Railway or locally.

〣 Run with Railway

  • Go to https://railway.app/new and build the Docker container with the following environment variables:

    • AUTH_TOKEN: Your ngrok authentication token.
    • PASSWORD: Password for SSH access (optional, default is rootuser).
    Railway app buildL

〣 Run Locally

Install Docker

First, you need to install Docker on your local machine. You can download the appropriate version of Docker for your operating system from the Docker website.

Clone the SSH4Me Repository

  • Open a terminal window on your local machine.

  • Clone the SSH4Me repository by running the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/Jisan09/ssh4me

Build and Run the Docker Container

  • Navigate to the ssh4me directory by running the following command:

    cd ssh4me

  • Build the Docker container by running the following command:

    docker build -t ssh4me --build-arg AUTH_TOKEN=AUTH_TOKEN --build-arg PASSWORD=PASSWORD .

  • Run the Docker container by running the following command:

    docker run ssh4me

〣 Run with Github Workflow

 NOTE :- This method isn't for making bot, it just for light work. This will work only for 6hr then will terminate.

  • Create a new workflow file (builder.yml) inside .github/workflows/ folder of your repository and copy paste the below conent. Or you can just fork the SSH4Me Repository.

     name: 'Run SSH4Me'
 on:
 workflow_dispatch:

 jobs:
 build-and-run:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
       - name: Checkout repository
       uses: actions/checkout@v2

       - name: Run SSH4Me Action
       uses: Jisan09/SSH4Me@main
       env:
          AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.AUTH_TOKEN }}
          PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}

  • Now go to the repository settings > secrets and variables > action > new repository secret and add the following environment variables:

    • AUTH_TOKEN: Your ngrok authentication token.
    • PASSWORD: Password for SSH access.

  • Now go to action tab and run the workflow

Wait for the build to complete. Once it's done, you should see your ssh & password in log.
