tunnelmate 1.0.8

Full-featured SSH tunnel & Cloudflare DNS management library and CLI

tunnelmate

🚀 A robust SSH tunnel and automatic Cloudflare DNS management library & CLI

Easily create, manage, and auto-reconnect SSH tunnels—with automatic SSH key generation and seamless Cloudflare CNAME linking. Use as a Python library or a lightning-fast CLI tool.

---

Installation

pip install .

---

CLI Usage

tunnelmate \
  --tunnel localhost:3000:my-app.example.com \
  --cf-zone-id <ZONE_ID> \
  --cf-api-token <API_TOKEN>

The tool will generate an SSH key if not already present and prints the public key to add to your destination server.

---

Library Usage

from tunnelmate.core import SSHTunnel

tunnels = [
    {"local_host": "localhost", "local_port": 3000, "subdomain": "my-app.example.com"},
]

t = SSHTunnel(
    tunnels=tunnels,
    key_path="/root/.ssh/id_ed25519"
)
t.run_tunnel()

Features

• Autogenerates SSH keys if not found, and prints your public key.
• Automatic reconnection if the tunnel closes.

• Live logs and easy-to-use interface for managing as many tunnels as you want.
• CLI and Python API both supported.
• Clean, maintainable code—ready to extend or integrate.

    content="target.example.com"
)
