<h1 style='font-size:26px;color:#6aa84f;'>docker: make container accessable via ssh with username / password</h1>

Normaly the containers are not accessable via ssh with username and password.

This hack will aktivate ssh for root via the container ip with username and password

Login via docker inspect <container> bash

export TERM=xterm 

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin without-password
change to
PermitRootLogin yes
sudo apt-get --reinstall install openssh-server openssh-client

service ssh restart
 

passwd root 

Type in your password.

After that you can access the container via IP and username / password
