Persist ssh connections without breaking terminal scrollback.
Motivation
I use tmux locally but sometimes ssh into a server to do work. It gets annoying when ssh connectios fail so I want to persist shells on remote machines. The standard approach is to use a multiplexer like tmux, zellij or screen. However, these tools tends to break scrollback and it's a bit weird have a terminal multiplexer within another terminal multiplexer. I want something simpler which does not break scrollback.
dtach is such a tool. It is a lightweight detacheable connection to a running process.
Installation
You can install persist-ssh using pipx.
pipx install persist-ssh
Usage
persist-ssh server
This will install mosh and dtach remotely. You can press Ctrl+t to detach. persist-ssh wil then reattach to the session by default.
I use persist-ssh with tmux so like to use the name of my tmux window for the remote session. For tis you can use the --tmux option or by adding session_from_tmux_pane = false to ~/.config/persist-ssh.toml.
