## Wrangler supports SSH ProxyCommand for Containers

[Containers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/)

[Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/) supports using `wrangler containers ssh` as an OpenSSH `ProxyCommand` for [Containers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/). This lets your local SSH client connect to a running Container through Wrangler.

```sh
ssh -o ProxyCommand="wrangler containers ssh %h" cloudchamber@<INSTANCE_ID>
```

When standard input and output are piped, Wrangler forwards data to the SSH server in the Container. You can also pass `--stdio` to force this mode.

For more information, refer to the [SSH documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/guides/ssh/).
