This proxy facilitates communication between a client kgdb instance and a remote panicked FreeBSD machine running NetGDB. This can be started either as a daemon or as a single process.
Run pip install netgdb-proxy to install, and then netgdb_proxy to start
the proxy. Follow the prompts to connect with your FreeBSD machine and your kgdb
client, or follow this guide:
From the db> prompt on the panicked machine, run netgdb -s <proxy ip>. This
will output a port for you to connect with your kgdb client from.
Then from your client, run target remote <proxy ip>:<given port>.
Run pip install netgdb-proxy[daemon] to install with the daemon extra. Then
you can run netgdb_proxy_d to start the background process. You will then
be able to connect with any number of pairs FreeBSD machines and clients, just
without the helpful prompts from the proxy.
This project uses poetry to manage dependencies and distrobution. After cloning,
