Description:

dockertunnel 0.1.2

docker-tunnel is a console utility to use remote docker with SSH tunnel.
If you are using OS X or a Linux distribution with docker-unsupported kernel,
no more running a virtual machine or ssh to a remote shell.

Installation
With pip:
$ pip install docker-tunnel
With pipsi (Recommended):
$ pipsi install docker-tunnel

Usage
$ docker-tunnel user@example.com
(user@example.com) $
(user@example.com) $ echo $DOCKER_HOST
127.0.0.1:4243
(user@example.com) $ docker ps # go ahead
...
(user@example.com) $ ^D # ctrl-d
$
More options:
$ docker-tunnel --help

Shell Theme Integration
Inside the tunnel injected shell, the environment variable DOCKER_HOST and DOCKER_PROMPT_INFO will be assigned. They can be used in your shell theme to prompt you which tunnel is using.
There is an example, my custom theme for OH-MY-ZSH.

Troubleshooting

Error response from daemon: client and server don't have same version (client : 1.14, server: 1.12)
The docker in source of CentOS 7 is using API 1.12 but the docker client in Homebrew of OS X is not. You can downgrade the docker client with Homebrew:
$ brew versions docker
...
1.0.0 git checkout c513c42 /usr/local/Library/Formula/docker.rb
...
$ cd /usr/local/Library/Formula # now we install the old version of docker
$ git checkout c513c42 -- docker.rb
$ brew unlink docker
$ brew install docker
$ git checkout HEAD -- docker.rb
$ cd -
$ brew info docker # check the installed versions and current version
...
/usr/local/Cellar/docker/1.1.1 (9 files, 9.8M) *
Poured from bottle
/usr/local/Cellar/docker/1.2.0 (9 files, 6.6M)
Poured from bottle
...
$ docker-tunnel user@example.com
(user@example.com) $ docker version
Client version: 1.0.0
Client API version: 1.12
...
(user@example.com) $ exit
$ brew switch 1.2.0 # restore to latest

bind: Address already in use. cannot listen to port: 4243
You can find out the process which held the 4243 port with sudo lsof -i :4243 and decide to kill it or pick another port with --local-port.

channel 1: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused. 2014/09/06 13:08:57 Get http://127.0.0.1:4243/v1.14/info: EOF
Does the docker server listen on 127.0.0.1:2375? You may have to set correct server info with --remote-host and --remote-port.

Known Bugs

The ssh tunnel can be authenticated with public key only. The password prompt will caused a crash.
