Running multiple SSH Commands

Running SSH commands with Private Key Authentication

Here is how you authenticate SSH commands with private key authentication using PublicServerAutomator.

from publicServerAutomator import Server

dockerInstructions = [
    "apt-get update -y",
    "apt-get install apt-transport-https -y",
    "apt-get install software-properties-common -y",
    "apt-get install curl -y",
    "apt-get install gnupg2 -y",
    "apt-get install git -y",
    "apt-get install acl -y",
    "apt-get install fail2ban -y"
    '''add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"''',
    "apt-get update -y",
    "apt-get install docker-ce -y",
    "docker run hello-world"
]

newDocker = Server(inputKeyPath="publickey.pem", inputKeyPassword='PASS', inputServerIP="0.0.0.0" )
newDocker.set_commands(commandList=dockerInstructions)
newDocker.connect()
output = newDocker.run_commands()
print(output)

Running SSH commands with Username & Password Authentication

This is an example of running multiple commands on a host, without using a private key to authenticate.

Notice that the Username and password are specified using inputUserName and inputPassword.

from publicServerAutomator import Server

dockerInstructions = [
    "apt-get update -y",
    "apt-get install apt-transport-https -y",
    "apt-get install software-properties-common -y",
    "apt-get install curl -y",
    "apt-get install gnupg2 -y",
    "apt-get install git -y",
    "apt-get install acl -y",
    "apt-get install fail2ban -y"
    '''add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"''',
    "apt-get update -y",
    "apt-get install docker-ce -y",
    "docker run hello-world"
]

newDocker = Server(inputServerIP='8.8.8.8',inputUserName='root', inputPassword='123lookatme', inputKeyPath='')
newDocker.set_commands(commandList=dockerInstructions)
newDocker.connect()
output = newDocker.run_commands()

Move file to server via SFTP

How to transfer files with SFTP w & w/o private key authentication

SFTP Private Key Authentication example

Here is how you transfer a file with a private key authentication

from publicServerAutomator import Server

someServer = Server(inputKeyPath="publickey.pem", inputKeyPassword='PASS', inputServerIP="0.0.0.0" )
someServer.connect()
someServer.transfer_file(full_path_local_file='/home/someGuy/mybigFile.gzip', full_path_target_path='/opt/someSoftware/mybigFile.gzip')

---

Using Username and Password SFTP Authentication

Here is how you transfer a file without a private key

from publicServerAutomator import Server

someServer = Server(inputServerIP='8.8.8.8',inputUserName='root', inputPassword='123lookatme', inputKeyPath='')
someServer.connect()
someServer.transfer_file(full_path_local_file='/home/someGuy/mybigFile.gzip', full_path_target_path='/opt/someSoftware/mybigFile.gzip')
