A desktop application to manage ssh credentials, sessions and persistent tunnels.

Built using nw.js, Angular and Angular Material. The goal is to provide secure persistent SSH tunnels into private networks like AWS VPCs via a Bastion host. The tunnels can be set to auto restart after suspend/resume of your workstation.

All credentials/keys are encrypted in a JSON AES256GCM vault using lowdb.

SSH protocol support is provided by the npm project ssh2 which is a pure javascript implementation of an SSH2 client. Therefore this app does not need to depend upon OpenSSH or Putty etc being installed - it is completely self-contained.

Terminal support is provided by xterm.js. The screen command is leveraged for terminal persistent (multi-)sessions where it is available on endpoints.

Please feel free to contribute.

Prebuilt zip packages for linux64, osx64 and win64 are available in Releases.

Developer Notes

Start webpack in watch mode for continuous builds while developing

$ gulp webpack

to run a single webpack without watching for changes:

$ gulp webpackrel

Run the app using nw.js direct from source (no build)

$ node_modules/nw/nwjs/nw --nwapp=.

with a temp vault and debugging enabled

$ rm /tmp/v; DEBUG="sshui:*" node_modules/nw/nwjs/nw --nwapp=. --db=/tmp/v

TODO: migrate this into gulp

v0.5: this is now achieved by simply running:

$ gulp run

Run the protractor E2E UI test suite

$ gulp e2e

Build package with SDK for debugging

$ gulp build

Creates the build in the build/ folder

Run the built development package with debugging and a temp vault

$ rm /tmp/v; DEBUG="sshui:*" build/sshui/linux64/sshui --db=/tmp/v

the --db=/tmp/v tells sshui to use a different vault db file, for testing.

Run the app in continuous source edit/webpack with watch modes

$ gulp

(Uses /tmp/.sshui_v as the lowdb vault db for testing.)

To build the Release zip files

$ gulp release

Release packages will be in 'release/sshui - v?.?.?/', ready to upload to github Releases.
