A tool to throw confs around like a ninja
Shuriken is a tool to facilitate the tedious task of copying config files and ssh keys across servers; to do so it follows a very minimalist approach, leveraging the power of script generation directly in the clipboard and ready to paste in a terminal, rather than dealing with file transfers and file permissions.
When a file is imported from stdin, Shuriken detects what it is and imports it into its repository (usually in ~/.shuriken) where all public keys and configurations are stored.
When an ssh key is exported (from the shuriken repository or an absolute path to a file) Shuriken will prepare a script ready to be pasted in from the clipboard, containing commands to create the user if doesn't exists, copy the ssh key file in place and set the correct permissions.
Make sure both zsh and xclip are installed.
Create a ~/.shuriken directory and then a keys subdir inside it
mkdir -p ~/.shuriken/keys
Place the public keys of your friends and colleagues inside it, one file per person with a list of ssh public keys inside, one per line.
Run shuriken my-friends-name for any file in ~/.shuriken/keys/my-friends-name.pub (the .pub extension is mandatory) this will place a script into your clipboard that is ready to be run on the root shell of another server. The script will:
- create a
my-friends-nameuser and its home directory - upload the ssh public key of my-friends-name so that he or she can access the account
