Using IdentityFile setting with docker-compose

[guysoft]

Hey,
How would I do use an IdentityFile setting with docker-compose?
I tried:

  sshdata:
    driver: vieux/sshfs:latest
    driver_opts:
      sshcmd: "ubuntu@host:/path"
      IdentityFile: /home/ubuntu/.ssh/key_file
      allow_other: ""

But did not seem to work

Neither did:

  sshdata:
    driver: vieux/sshfs:latest
    driver_opts:
      sshcmd: "ubuntu@host:/path -o identityfile=/home/ubuntu/.ssh/key_file"
      allow_other: ""

I get:

ERROR: for test_container Cannot start service test_service: error while mounting volume '': VolumeDriver.Mount: sshfs command execute failed: exit status 1 (read: Connection reset by peer

I am experiencing the same issue:

ERROR: for plex  Cannot create container for service plex: VolumeDriver.Mount: sshfs command execute failed: exit status 1 (SSHFS version 2.10
read: Connection reset by peer
)
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

Please advise. Thanks for any help!

More details:

• vieux/sshfs:latest
• Docker version 18.09.2, build 6247962
• Ubuntu 18.10
• I am able to successfully connect to the remote SSH server from the Docker host using the appropriate key in ~/.ssh, which is defined in my docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
    videos:
        driver: vieux/sshfs:latest
        driver_opts:
          allow_other: ""
          IdentityFile: "/home/$USER/.ssh/$KEY"
          sshcmd: "$USER@$HOST:/mnt/Videos"
          sshfs_debug: ""

This solved the issue for me.

I moved to using a password and it seems to work well as a workaround for me.

I can't touch it now because I have production stuff mounted. So if you want you can close this. I might be able to test, but not soon.

I've been trying my hand at this, and @geoffmyers' suggestion to look at #58 did not work for me.

I have tried enough times that I set up a Makefile to completely reset the plugin:

bootstrap:
	-docker plugin rm -f vieux/sshfs:latest
	-sudo rm -f /var/lib/docker/plugins/sshfs-state.json
	docker plugin install vieux/sshfs:latest DEBUG=1 sshkey.source=$(HOME)/.ssh/

...and have added all conceivable debug options to the docker-compose file:

incoming:
    driver: vieux/sshfs:latest
    driver_opts:
      sshcmd: "foo@bar:/baz"
      IdentityFile: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa"
      port: 2211
      reconnect: ""
      allow_other: ""
      sshfs_debug: ""

...and docker plugin inspect looks OK:

 {
                    "Description": "",
                    "Destination": "/root/.ssh",
                    "Name": "sshkey",
                    "Options": [
                        "rbind"
                    ],
                    "Settable": [
                        "source"
                    ],
                    "Source": "/home/ubuntu/.ssh/",
                    "Type": "bind"
                }

What I see in journalctl -f -u docker.service is this:

So I'm apparently setting the key properly (since the bind mount is there), but have no real way to debug this. And yes, the key in question works, and I can do regular sshfs mounts with it.
