Mac - ssh-agent forwarding - ee container asks ssh key passphrase about ansible-navigator HOT 3 OPEN

from ansible-navigator.

After a big web detour, it seems to be a MacOS+Docker thing (e.i docker/for-mac#410 ). Running manually a docker container by combining --user=root & -v /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock:/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock" and removing root .ssh dir mapping -v /Users/myuser/.ssh/:/root/.ssh/, I managed to successfully ssh remotely using my local ssh-agent and my unlocked ssh-key. Here is the simplified command I used:

docker run -it --user=root -v /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock:/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock" --rm dockerhub.cisco.com/placetel-it-docker-local/placetel-thick-ee:1.1.1 /bin/bash

Ansible-navigater is adding --user=current_user_id by default and if we add container options like this, it is appended. Lastly I'm not sure if SSH_AUTH_SOCK contains a usable socket for mac to be mapped.

Adding the "mac" keyword on the title of this issue.

@ajinkyau @cidrblock Can you please investigate this and determine if that is indeed a bug in navigator or just an environment specific issue related to docker on macos. Probably we would also have a similar issue with podman because its also works the same way (container host being VM).
