Why

I just need a gadget for my work . In my work, i need to manage many remote server machines that deployed some application, such as java application,mysql and so on. when i decided to connect some machines, I spend a lot of time checking which applications are deployed on each server it's making me miserable. Tabby has wonderful Profiles & connections feature, but there no space to remark more information for every machine or connection. I still need another document to manage information that can not hold with Tabby.

Usage

usage: stabby [-h] [-ls] [-c CONNECT] [-t TUNNET]

Hello

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -ls, --list           list all configed servers.
  -c CONNECT, --connect CONNECT
                        connect to remote server by No.
  -t TUNNET, --tunnet TUNNET
                        open tunnet with ssh localport:remoteport

1. clone the code

2. install require python package from requirements.txt

3. use pyinstaller build

   $ pyinstall -F terminal.py
   

4. the file under dist named terminal is the finally executable file

5. run terminal in your command line

   $ terminal 
   

How does it work

It's so easy. Default , stabby(simple_tabby) loads config file under $USER_HOME/.simple_tabby/terminals_config.json, file content like below:

[
  {
    "name": "name",
    "host": "remote server ip or host",
    "port": 22,
    "user": "remote user",
    "password": "remote password",
    "privateKey": "ssh key path",
    "describe": "description for the configuration",
    "application": [
      "first app that deploy in server",
      "second app that deploy in server"
    ],
    "tags": [
      "prod",
      "application-server"
    ]
  }
]

and the file need to create by yourself. you can use different json file to group your remote server information. if load file success, stabby will print as table like below:

no	name	ip	apps	tags	description
1	mysql-server	127.0.0.1	mysql	mysql	mysql machine
2	spring-boot	127.0.0.2	jar	application	application machine
3	jenkins	127.0.0.3	jenkins	devops	ops machine
