A web-based parallel SSH console for managing multiple linux servers.
Do you have too many servers to manage manually, but not big enough for puppet/chef? Want an interactive feel while still deduplicating effort across 3-10 servers? Inspired by commando.io, this is a commando.io alternative with the following features:
=FEATURES=
- Add servers by password or keypair authentication
- Host the control server locally to avoid trusting a third party
- Arrange servers into groups (e.g. all web servers, all database servers, ...)
- Supports running commands in parallel
- Response streams back in realtime over websockets
- Run any #! script remotely (bash, php, node, python, ...)
- Syntax highlighting text editor (thanks Codemirror!)
=USAGE=
- Install from npm (
npm install opencommandio) - Configure servers.js as per inline documentation
- Run the server (
node ./core.js) - Browse to localhost:8081 and enjoy
- Optional: Protect the server by nginx reverse proxy with http authentication, or similar
