How to mount private SSH key on Docker for Windows container

Question

I have docker for windows installed on my windows 10 operating system. I’m new to Docker and I want to know, how to mount my private SSH key to this container?

Answer 1

You could use a volume with -v /c/Users/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa:/<home dir>/.ssh/id_rsa:ro. home is ~ of the user e.g. /root, /, /home/<user>.

The :ro will make it readonly, so your key will not be overwritten by accident.
