Add Ruby SDK from Docker container as a remote SDK on RubyMine - ssh

Question

Rubymine has options to add remote sdks using Vagrant and SSH, however I decided to go with Docker. I already created a Ruby container, but I don't know how to enable SSH access to it so Rubymine can set it as the remote SDK.
Is it possible?
Tried to follow this article, but the Ruby image doesn't have yum and this package epel-release is for Fedora/RedHat.

Hey are you using this official Ruby docker image?
If so, it's based on Debian and you'll have to use apt-get to install packages.
Here's a handy script for installing openssh-server and configuring a user in a Dockerfile:
FROM ruby:2.1.9
#======================
# Install OpenSSH server (sshd)
#======================
RUN apt-get update -qqy \
&& apt-get -qqy install \
openssh-server \
&& echo "PidFile ${RUN_DIR}/sshd.pid" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config \
&& sed -i 's|session required pam_loginuid.so|session optional pam_loginuid.so|g' /etc/pam.d/sshd \
&& mkdir -p /var/run/sshd \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Add user rubymine with password rubymine and give ownership of rubymine home dir
RUN adduser --quiet rubymine \
&& echo "rubymine:rubymine" | chpasswd \
&& chown -R rubymine:rubymine /home/rubymine \
EXPOSE 22
I'm not sure of what are the exact configurations you can perform with Rubymine. But it's possible to open a tty with the container without the need of ssh:
#run it as a daemon
docker run -d --name=myruby ruby:2.19
#connect to it
docker -it exec myruby /bin/bash
UPDATE:
Try setting DOCKER_HOST environment variable to listen on a tcp port:
export DOCKER_HOST='tcp://localhost:2376'
