Description

This project is designed to help you manage your ssh accounts

• You can use this tool to connect to your servers.
• Only two things are required:
  • pem file
  • ssh command per server
• The logic to connect to your server is handled by this utility
• The utility will also set the right permissions for the pem file if it's not already set to 400

Requirements

• This utility expects ssh is installed
• This utility expects PEM file is in following format:
  • <server-name>@<ssh-username>@<ip-address>.pem
  • Where
    • <server-name> is the user friendly name of the remote server
    • <ssh-username> is the username that is used to connect the remote server
    • <ip-address> is the IP address of the remote server
  • For E.g. If I have a remote server named achme-prod and it is a ubuntu server with IP Address 127.0.0.1, then I would name my PEM file as follows:
    • achme-company-prod@ubuntu@127.0.0.1.pem

Notes

• You can put this in your execution $PATH for ease of use
  • To do that alter the $PATH variable
  • For mac I added this to my ~/.zshrc profile:

    export PATH="/Users/sslankesh/work/ss-commands:$PATH"
    

• Delete the example pem file (achme-company-prod@ubuntu@127.0.0.1.pem) from pem directory

Limitations

• The <ssh-username> cannot have @ & space in it
  • For E.g. ubuntu@user is not allowed
  • For E.g. ubuntu user is not allowed
  • For E.g. ubuntuuser is allowed
• The <server-name> cannot have @ in it
  • For E.g. achme-company@prod is not allowed
  • For E.g. achme-company-prod is allowed
• This utility works with IPv4 addresses only
• This utility works only in mac and linux environments
• This utility works only with zsh and bash shells
• This utility works only with pem files
