title: Dockerize an SSH service

Running sshd inside a container is discouraged, however, it might be still useful
for certain use cases such as port forwarding.

See [https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-openssh-server](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-openssh-server)
for an example of Dockerized SSH service.
