Project description

Latest PyPI version Build status (Travis CI) Build status (AppVeyor)

It provides a CLI client for Geofront, a simple SSH key management server.

Installation

It is available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip installer. We, however, recommend to use pipsi instead so that geofront-cli and its dependencies don’t make your global site-packages messy.

$ pipsi install geofront-cli

Getting started

What you have to do first of all is to configure the Geofront server URL. Type geofront-cli start and then it will show a prompt:

$ geofront-cli start
Geofront server URL:

We suppose http://example.com/ here. It will open an authentication page in your default web browser:

$ geofront-cli start
Geofront server URL: http://example.com/
Continue to authenticate in your web browser...
Press return to continue

List available remotes

You can list the available remotes using geofront-cli remotes command:

$ geofront-cli remotes
web-1
web-2
web-3
worker-1
worker-2
db-1
db-2

If you give -v/--verbose option it will show their actual addresses as well:

$ geofront-cli remotes -v
web-1        ubuntu@192.168.0.5
web-2        ubuntu@192.168.0.6
web-3        ubuntu@192.168.0.7
worker-1     ubuntu@192.168.0.25
worker-2     ubuntu@192.168.0.26
db-1 ubuntu@192.168.0.50
db-2 ubuntu@192.168.0.51

SSH to remote

You can easily connect to a remote through SSH. Use geofront-cli ssh command instead of vanilla ssh:

$ geofront-cli ssh web-1
Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27 i686)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/
ubuntu@web-1:~$

In most cases, you probably need to list remotes to find an alias to SSH before run geofront-cli ssh command. geofront-cli go command is a single command for these two actions at once:

$ geofront-cli go
(...interactive fuzzy finder for remotes is shown...)
Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27 i686)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/
ubuntu@web-1:~$

Note that there’s a shortcut command gfg which is an alias of geofront-cli go.

There is geofront-cli scp command as well, which is corresponding to scp:

$ geofront-cli scp file.txt web-1:file.txt
file.txt                                      100% 3157     3.1KB/s   00:00
$ geofront-cli scp -r web-1:path/etc/apt ./
sources.list                                  100% 3157     3.1KB/s   00:00
trusted.gpg                                   100%   14KB  13.9KB/s   00:00

Missing features

  • Shortcut for geofront-cli ssh command

  • Make geofront-cli ssh similar to ssh

  • Autocompletion
