.. _running_ssh_service:

Create an ssh daemon service
============================

.. include:: example_header.inc


**Video:**

I've create a little screencast to show how to create a sshd service and connect to it. It is something like 11
minutes and not entirely smooth, but gives you a good idea.

.. raw:: html

    <div style="margin-top:10px;">
      <iframe width="800" height="400" src="http://ascii.io/a/2637/raw" frameborder="0"></iframe>
    </div>
	
You can also get this sshd container by using
::

    docker pull dhrp/sshd


The password is 'screencast'
