MCP Test Servers
Overview
This project provides a Docker container running Ubuntu with SSH access, allowing users to easily set up and manage an Ubuntu environment.
To use this container, ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed, create a shared directory, and then build and start the container using Docker Compose commands.
- Easy setup with Docker Compose - SSH access to the Ubuntu container - Shared directory for file exchange between host and container
- Development and testing in an isolated Ubuntu environment
- File sharing between host and container for collaborative projects
- Running applications that require an Ubuntu environment without installing it directly on the host
