This is my current pet project which is meant to help those that work with a number of AWS accounts. Always having to login to the console to find the server you want to connect to, if you need to use a bastion host, what key you need to use, etc.
This is still very early in the development phase. It has some rough edges for sure, so if you have any problems just open up an Issue. You can either download one of the prebuilt packages, or you can clone the repo and run it directly with npm.
Primary Components:
- Electron
- Vue
- XTerm.js
- node-pty
- Amazon SDK
The easiest way to use this project is to download one of the prebuild packages.
Linux Package coming soon.
If you'd rather just clone the repo and build from source instead of downloading a prebuilt package, you're more than welcome to do so.
# install dependencies and native modules ./do_install.sh # serve with hot reload at localhost:9080 npm run dev # build electron application for production npm run build
Note: you'll need to have OpenSSH installed and ssh.exe in your path
# install dependencies yarn # serve with hot reload at localhost:9080 yarn run dev # build electron application for production yarn run build
Setup multipe organizations
Add your AWS access keys per Organization and region (only needs ec2.describeInstances currently)
Scan for keys that are used for SSH access, and import them. Add custom users as well.
Easily list out instances in regions you have setup
Setup a bastion host per region if you need to ssh into it first to access private ip servers behind
Easily connect via ssh to a server with the click of a button. If no key has been impored for user it will fall back to password prompt.
So much more. Eventually would like to add regular server support, google cloud, etc.
Preferences, colors, styles, etc.
Ability to show more details about servers
Use native ssh2 module instead of relying on node-pty
Too much to list...
