[suggestion] is it possible to add feature of provider api

[warjiang]

provider api means that not only we can get host from location ssh config file, but also from a rest api, the rest api should have some restriction, like data restriction.

It is technically possible, but there may be some security risks. It will be more complicated, and the requirements for users will be very high.

or may a plugin of trzsa-ssh.

indeed. tssh provide a open-box options for most of users. If supported this feature, for advanced user, we can provide spec to let them to implemented, for common user, we can provide a subproject in form of docker to reduce the complexity of provide api.

cannot agree with this point any more, so we need to have a full consideration.

Is it possible for users to implement a client themselves, write a custom configuration file after obtaining the informations, and then specify the default configuration file in ~/.tssh.conf?

[warjiang]

sounds feasible 👍

Now you can get the host information from anywhere you want, convert it into ssh command line arguments, and call tssh to log in.

Before v0.1.22 is released, you can go get github.com/trzsz/trzsz-ssh@main, and then call tssh to log in like:

package main

import (
	"os"
	"github.com/trzsz/trzsz-ssh/tssh"
)

func main() {
	code := tssh.TsshMain([]string{"-t", "[email protected]"})
	os.Exit(code)
}
