ssh_setup: Setup SSH
In outsider: Install and Run Programs, Outside of R, Inside of R

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Send all outsider commands to an external host. Provide an ssh session to this function and all subsequent commands will be run on the host rather than the local machine. When finished it is always good practice to disconnect from the remote host by running ssh_teardown. It is required that the remote host has Docker running.

# To forward all Docker commands to a remote host:
# 1. Gain ssh access to a remote host
# 2. Ensure Docker is running on the remote machine
# 3. Supply the IP address and authentication args to ssh::ssh_connect
ip_address <- NULL

if (!is.null(ip_address)) {
  # Create an ssh session
  session <- ssh::ssh_connect(host = ip_address)
  
  # Setup the session for running outsider

# After setup, run outsider as normal
