<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-ssh-proxy</command> is a small "proxy" plugin for the <citerefentry
project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>ssh</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
tool that allows connecting to <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> and <constant>AF_VSOCK</constant> sockets. It
implements the interface defined by <filename>ssh</filename>'s <varname>ProxyCommand</varname>
configuration option. It's supposed to be used with an <citerefentry
project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>ssh_config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration fragment like the following:</para>
<programlisting>
Host unix/* vsock/*
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-ssh-proxy %h %p
ProxyUseFdpass yes
CheckHostIP no
Host .host
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-ssh-proxy unix/run/ssh-unix-local/socket %p
ProxyUseFdpass yes
CheckHostIP no
</programlisting>
<para>A configuration fragment along these lines is by default installed into
<filename>/etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/20-systemd-ssh-proxy.conf.in</filename>.</para>
<para>With this in place, SSH connections to host string <literal>unix/</literal> followed by an absolute
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant> file system path to a socket will be directed to the specified socket, which
must be of type <constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>. Similar, SSH connections to <literal>vsock/</literal>
followed by an <constant>AF_VSOCK</constant> CID will result in an SSH connection made to that
CID. Moreover connecting to <literal>.host</literal> will connect to the local host via SSH, without
involving networking.</para>
<para>This tool is supposed to be used together with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-ssh-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
which when run inside a VM or container will bind SSH to suitable
addresses. <command>systemd-ssh-generator</command> is supposed to run in the container of VM guest, and
<command>systemd-ssh-proxy</command> is run on the host, in order to connect to the container or VM
guest.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Exit status</title>
<para>On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code
otherwise.</para>
