ssh to openstack instance from other then controller node

I have an openstack(microstack) instance running on my server (ubuntu 20.04): S1. I have an ubuntu (20.04) instance up and running on it (floating ip 10.20.20.100), on which ping 8.8.8.8 works. I can ssh and ping this instance with FIP from the controller node/S1.

My intention is to access this server from my local machine (!=S1) (via WSL) with the floating IP. LOCAL_PC(WSL)$> ssh 10.20.20.100

I'm looking into using NAT (S/D) but I could use some clarification on what is the proper way of performing such forwarding!

Thank you in advance! BR

Solution

  • You can use SSH ProxyJump to do this. Using your Ubuntu server as a proxy or 'jump host'.

      ssh -J user@proxy user@vm
