ssh-agent possible?

[xelra]

Is it possible to use an ssh-agent that runs on the host system?

Perhaps defining a user at volume creation time -o SshAuthUser=myuser. And reading that user's $SSH_AUTH_SOCK at mount time? Does that make any sense @vieux ?

...I am able to do stuff like this:

docker plugin disable h0tbird/sshfs
docker plugin set h0tbird/sshfs SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/sshauthsock/$(basename ${SSH_AUTH_SOCK}) sshauthsock.source=$(dirname ${SSH_AUTH_SOCK})
docker plugin enable h0tbird/sshfs
docker volume create -d h0tbird/sshfs -o sshcmd=${RUSER}@localhost:${RMOUNT} -o port=2222 -o workaround=rename mydata
