+# 🛡️ SSH Tunnel - Secure Remote Access via SSH Tunnels
+<p align="left">
+  <img src="https://salt8.org/PICS/ssh-tunnel.webp" alt="SSH Tunnel Logo" width="200"/>
+</p>
+
+## 🚀 **Quick Start**
+For a fast setup, run:
+```sh
+docker run -d -e SSH_HOST=your-server -e SSH_USER=user \
+  -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/tmp/id_rsa:ro ripleybooya/ssh-tunnel
+```
+
+## 📌 Why this image?
+This container was created to **securely expose remote services via SSH tunnels**.  
+Instead of exposing databases or other services to the public internet, this container allows you to **create secure SSH tunnels** inside a Docker network.  
+
+### 🔥 **Use Cases:**
+- Securely connect to **remote databases** (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB).
+- Access **internal services** (Redis, Elasticsearch, APIs) via SSH.
+- Securely tunnel any service **without exposing it publicly**.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 How to Use
+
+### **1️⃣ Run with `docker run`**
+```sh
+docker run -d --name ssh-tunnel \
+  -e SSH_HOST="your-server.com" \
+  -e SSH_USER="your-username" \
+  -e REMOTE_PORTS="127.0.0.1:5432 127.0.0.1:443" \
+  -e LOCAL_PORTS="15432 8443" \
+  -v /path/to/id_rsa:/tmp/id_rsa:ro \
+  --network=my_docker_network \
+  ripleybooya/ssh-tunnel
+```
+
+📌 **Explanation:**
+- `SSH_HOST`: The remote server where SSH tunnels will be established.
+- `SSH_USER`: The SSH user on the remote server.
+- `REMOTE_PORTS`: Ports from the remote server (format: `127.0.0.1:PORT`).
+- `LOCAL_PORTS`: Ports inside the Docker network (mapped to `REMOTE_PORTS`).
+- `-v /path/to/id_rsa:/tmp/id_rsa:ro`: **Mounts your SSH key securely** (using `/tmp/id_rsa` for better permissions).
+
+---
+
+### **2️⃣ Using `docker-compose.yml`**
+For easier management, use **Docker Compose**:
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  ssh-tunnel:
+    image: ripleybooya/ssh-tunnel
+    container_name: ssh-tunnel
+    restart: always
+    networks:
+      - internal
+    environment:
+      SSH_HOST: "your-server.com"
+      SSH_USER: "your-username"
+      REMOTE_PORTS: "127.0.0.1:5432 127.0.0.1:443"
+      LOCAL_PORTS: "15432 8443"
+    volumes:
+      - /path/to/id_rsa:/tmp/id_rsa:ro
+
+networks:
+  internal:
+    driver: bridge
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📌 **Why use this image?**
+✅ **Secure**: No need to expose services publicly.  
+✅ **Simple**: Just set environment variables and run.  
+✅ **Multi-Arch**: Works on **x86_64 (Intel/AMD)** and **ARM64 (Oracle Cloud, Raspberry Pi, etc.)**.  
+✅ **Lightweight**: Uses **Alpine Linux** for minimal resource usage.  
+

+
+## 📦 Pull & Run
+```sh
+docker pull ripleybooya/ssh-tunnel
+docker run --rm -it ripleybooya/ssh-tunnel uname -m
+```
+
+🚀 **Now your remote services are accessible through secure SSH tunnels!**
