How to connect remote docker instance using Pulumi?

Question

I have created VM instance in GCP using pulumi and installed docker. And I am trying to connect remote instance of the docker but its getting failed to due to connection establishment (asking for a key verification in a pop up window).

const remoteInstance = new docker.Provider(
  "remote",
  {
    host: interpolate`ssh://user@${externalIP}:22`,
  },
  { dependsOn: dockerInstallation }
);

I can able to run docker containers locally. But want to run the same in VM. The code snippet is here

It'd be helpful to share the entire code, including how you started the VM and bootstrapped Docker — jaxxstorm, Jan 28 '22 at 05:11

with the recent version of "@pulumi/docker": "^3.2.0" you can now pass the ssh options. Reference

const remoteInstance = new docker.Provider(
  "remote",
  {
    host: interpolate`ssh://user@${externalIP}:22`,
    sshOpts: [
      "-o",
      "StrictHostKeyChecking=no",
      "-o",
      "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null",
    ],
  },
  { dependsOn: dockerInstallation }
);
