From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

sshPilot is a desktop application for managing SSH connections. It loads/saves standard .ssh/config entries and make it easy to manage multiple servers.

It fully supports dynamic, remote and local port forwarding, key-pair generation, file transfer to remote machines and more.

Features:

  • Load/save standard .ssh/config entries (it loads you current configuration)
  • Full support for Local, Remote and Dynamic port forwarding
  • Intuitive, minimal UI with keyboard navigation and shortcuts -- Press ctrl+L to quickly switch between hosts), close tabs with ctrl+w and move between tabs with alt+right/left arrow
  • SCP support for quicly uploading a file to remote server
  • Generate keypairs and add them to remote servers
  • Toggle to show/hide ip addresses/hostnames in main UI
  • Light/Dark themes
  • Customizable terminal font and color schemes
  • Free software (GPL v3 license)

The app is currently distributed as a debian package and can be installed on recent versions of Debian (testing/unstable) and ubuntu. Debian bookworm is not supported due to older libadwaita version.

Latest release can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/mfat/sshpilot/releases/tag/v2.0

You can also run the app from source. Install the modules listed in requirements.txt and a fairly recent version of GNOME and it should run.

A Flatpak and an RPM version are also planned for future.

I'm also looking for a volunteer to design a good icon for the app.

I'd highly appreciate your thoughts/feedback on this.--
