SSH Bastion Hosts

These files were created to allow users to use Vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com) to quickly and easily spin up an environment for learning and working with SSH bastion hosts and proxy commands. This environment was created and tested using VMware Fusion 7.1.2, Vagrant 1.7.4, and the Vagrant VMware plugin.

Contents

  • bastion_rsa and bastion_rsa.pub: Private/public key pair for accessing the SSH bastion host. The password for this key pair is password (all lowercase). These files are automatically installed by Vagrant into the correct VMs.

  • README.md: This file you're currently reading.

  • remote_rsa and remote_rsa.pub: Private/public key pair for accessing the remote SSH nodes behind the bastion host. The password for this key pair is secure (all lowercase). The Vagrantfile will automatically place these files in the correct locations on the appropriate VMs.

  • servers.yml: This YAML file contains a list of VM definitions and associated configuration data. It is referenced by Vagrantfile when Vagrant instantiates the VMs. Generally, this is the only file that requires any edits; you'll edit this file to specify the correct Vagrant box installed on your system.

  • ssh-bastion-diagram.png: This PNG diagram provides a graphical overview of the different VMs in this environment and how they are connected.

  • Vagrantfile: This file is used by Vagrant to spin up the virtual machines. This file is fairly extensively commented to help explain what's happening. You should be able to use this file unchanged; all the VM configuration options are stored outside this file.

Instructions

These instructions assume you've already installed VMware Fusion, Vagrant, and the Vagrant VMware plugin. Please refer to the documentation for those products for more information on installation or configuration.

  1. Use vagrant box add to add a 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty Tahr") base box to be used by this Vagrantfile. You'll need to specify a box that provides support for the vmware_desktop provider (it should work with either VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion).

  2. Edit the servers.yml file to ensure the box you downloaded in step 1 is specified on the "box:" line of this file for each VM. (By default, there are three VMs, so make sure to specify the correct box name for all three VMs.)

  3. Run vagrant up, and when the VM is up use vagrant ssh to access the generic Debian VM.

Enjoy!
