sshc 0.3.0

SSH Config and Ansible Inventory Generator.

ssh-config-ansible-inventory-generator

This tool should help you manage ssh config file with hosts as well as ansible hosts or inventory file.

Structure

1. Insert host information to a JSON file as a DB.
2. Generate SSH Config file and an Ansible Inventory file.

Install

% pip3 install sshc

Usage

Step 1: Need the DB to be initiated for the first time

% sshc init

Step 2: Insert host information to the Database

% sshc insert --name Google --host 8.8.8.8 --port 22 --user groot --identityfile /home/fahad/fahad.pem --comment "This is the server where you are not authorized to have access." --configfile /home/fahad/.ssh/config --groups google, fun

Step 3: Generate ssh config and as well as ansible inventory file

% python3 sshc.py generate

This command will read all the entries in the DB and generate

1. SSH config file in your preferred directory or default one(i.e. $HOME/.ssh/config).
2. Ansible Inventory file will be created at your preferred directory or in default one.

If you do not change default directory, then you will be able to use the SSH configs immediately. But Ansible inventory will not be created in its default directory. You need to choose the inventory file or create link file.

For SSH,

% ssh -F <DIR>/config

For Ansible,

% ansible -i <DIR>/hosts.json all --list-host
