ContainerSSH is an SSH server written in Go that launches on-demand containers in Docker or Kubernetes for each connecting user. It supports webhook-based authentication and authorization, audit logging with S3 upload, and automatic cleanup of ephemeral environments on disconnect.

Use cases

• give developers ephemeral SSH environments in containers
• build disposable lab environments for students or vendors
• run an SSH honeypot to capture attacker behavior
• provide audited production debugging access with logged changes
• authenticate SSH users via a custom webhook server
• automatically clean up containers when users disconnect

When to choose

• you need per-user, on-demand containerized SSH environments
• you want webhook-driven authentication and authorization for SSH
• you need full session audit logging for compliance or honeypots
• you want ephemeral environments with automatic cleanup on logout

When to avoid

• you just need a plain traditional SSH server on a host
• you don't run Docker or Kubernetes
• you need long-lived persistent shell sessions with persistent state
• you need a simple bastion jump host without container orchestration
