archelonc 0.2.1

Client connected to archelonc for Web shell history

Curses based application for command history that can be wired up to a Web server (archelond) for shared shell history across multiple hosts.

Installation

pip install archelonc

Once that is setup you can try it out by running . archelon this uses your existing shell history to let you try out the client. To make this work more like the bash reverse history search via C-r I recommend adding:

bind '"\033a":". archelon\n"'

this will launch the reverse search of archelon via Alt-A.

Web Enabled History

From here you can use archelon as is, but the cool part really start when you install archelond and wire the client up to use that project for shared and indexed shell history. To configure the client side after you have setup the server, you just need to add two environment variables to the mix.

• ARCHELON_URL - Web URL to your archelond installation

• ARCHELON_TOKEN - The API token for your user. You can get this by going to https://your.archelond.domain/api/v1/token and logging in with the username and password you’ve created.

Add those to .bashrc, .profile, or whichever shell startup you are using and it will be hooked up to the Web server. You can verify this and populate your Web history by running the archelon_import command which will import your current computers history.
