Optimized the Docker installation commands in the CI workflow by removing `sudo` when calling `apt-get`. This adjustment caters to environments where the CI runner executes as root or has adequate permissions, streamlining command execution and avoiding potential issues related to `sudo` availability or configuration. This change harmonizes with CI practices that favor minimalist, permission-aware setups.
To facilitate the execution of tests within a controlled environment, Docker is now installed as part of the CI testing workflow. This addition ensures that any Docker-dependent steps, specifically the building and running of an SSH Server Docker container, execute seamlessly. Previously, the assumption was that Docker would be pre-installed on the runner, which could lead to inconsistencies or failures in environments where this was not the case. By explicitly including the Docker installation step, the workflow becomes more portable and resilient across different CI execution environments.
Implemented a new CI pipeline configured to automatically test SSH connectivity as part of the project's testing phase. This involves creating and configuring a Docker container to serve as an SSH server, generating an SSH key pair for secure connection, and ensuring the build environment can establish an SSH connection to the container without manual intervention. The setup aims to automate and streamline testing of SSH-related functionalities, enhancing the reliability of code changes affecting remote server interactions.
- A Dockerfile was added to set up an SSH server in a container.
- The CI pipeline (`test.yml`) was configured to build this container, generate SSH keys, copy the public key to the container, and attempt an SSH connection.
This enhancement supports more robust testing processes, particularly for features that interact with remote servers via SSH.
