### SSH agent forwarding

Docker Desktop for Mac allows you to use the host’s SSH agent inside a container. To do this:

1. Bind mount the SSH agent socket by adding the following parameter to your `docker run` command:

`--mount type=bind,src=/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock,target=/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock`

1. Add the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment variable in your container:

`-e SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock"`

To enable the SSH agent in Docker Compose, add the following flags to your service:

```yaml
services:
web:
image: nginx:alpine
volumes:
- type: bind
source: /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock
target: /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock
environment:
- SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock
```
