How to set up

• Use abst config fill {context} to fill your credentials for usage, you can find all the credentials on cloud provider site, leave context empty if you want to fill default
• Use abst generate {context} to generate default config for context, leave context empty if you want to generate to default

Usage

Both commands do automatic reconnect on idle SSH Tunnel termination

• abst create forward/managed single {context} for single bastion session with persisting SSH connection, leave context empty if you want to use default
• abst create forward/managed fullauto {context} for automatic Bastion session creation once deleted, will keep your, leave context empty if you want to use default connection alive till you kill this script
• abst clean for removal all the saved credentials
• abst use {context} for using different config that you had filled, default is the default context in creds.json
• Use abst locate {context} to locate your configs, leave context empty if you want to locate default

Parallel execution

If you are more demanding and need to have connection to your SSH Tunnels ready at all times you can use parallel executed Bastions that currently work for full-auto forwarded setting

Change local port in the setting to port that is unique to other configs, and it will be running on all the added ports Until you kill the abst command, it will automatically remove all generated Bastion sessions by this program

• abst parallel add {context} will add context from your context folder to stack that will be executed
• abst parallel remove {context} will remove context from your context folder to stack that will be executed
• abst parallel run {context} will run all the stacked contexts
• abst parallel display will display current stacked contexts

• abst helm login will log you in with credentials set in config.json, you set these credentials when running this command first time. Edit with flag --edit 1-n number is the index of credential in list
• abst helm push <chart-name> will push to specified remote branch, if more credentials preset it will let you pick which one to use
