sshmenu
sshmenu is a simple tool for connecting to remote hosts via ssh. Great if you have trouble remembering ip addresses, hostnames, or usernames.
This tool works by using Python's os.execvp(...), which will replace the current process (python) with ssh to create a seamless transition.

Quick Setup
Tested working on macOS High Sierra (10.13.1) and Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (14.04), Xenial Xerus (16.04)
macOS
.. code-block:: bash
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmeyer724/sshmenu/master/sshmenu.rb sshmenu
Linux
.. code-block:: bash
pip3 install sshmenu sshmenu
Development
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/mmeyer724/sshmenu.git cd sshmenu pip3 install -r requirements.txt python3 -m sshmenu
Configuration
On first run an example configuration file will be created for you, along with the path. For reference, I've added this information here as well.
OS X
.. code-block:: bash
nano ~/Library/Application\ Support/sshmenu/config.json
Linux
.. code-block:: bash
nano ~/.config/sshmenu/config.json
Default contents
.. code-block:: json
{
"targets": [
{
"host": "[email protected]",
"friendly": "This is an example target",
"options": []
},
{
"command": "mosh",
"host": "[email protected]",
"friendly": "This is an example target using mosh",
"options": []
}
]
}
You can specify additional command line options (see man ssh) as follows:
.. code-block:: json
{
"targets": [
{
"host": "[email protected]",
"friendly": "An example target listening non-standard port and verbose flag",
"options" : [
"-p443",
"-v"
]
}
]
}
Todo
- Automatically ask to place your
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pubinto the remote host's~/.ssh/authorized_keys
