About ucm
ucm is modeled after nccm (NCurses ssh Connection Manager), but built using urwid which provides a similar interface with added mouse support. see: https://github.com/flyingrhinonz/nccm for details.
UCM provides:
- a simple TUI for managing and connecting to ssh endpoints
- a simple TUI for attaching to Docker Containers that are present on your system
UCM intended users
- You have dozens or more of hosts to manage via ssh.
- Your ssh requirements (identities, ports, users etc) differ from host to host, and you want to simplify things
- You want a simple interfaces to get console access to your docker containers
- You want View all your hosts/containers at once and filter easily so that you know who to connect to.
- Have a need to use command line, don't have a GUI, or simply prefer to work more efficiently?
UCM Configuration
Personal configurations are stored in ~/.ucm where
config.yml: is used to information about common runtime items: logfile - location of the log file loglevel - log level can be one of: debug, info, warning, error, critical
ssh_connnections.yml - used to provide a list of all your managed connections
# Each ssh connection is defined as:
# - name: hostname or identifier
# address: ip or dns resolvable name
# user: username to connect with
# port: tcp port to use: default: 22
# identity_file: identity file to use if needed and its not your default key
# options: any other ssh options#
# category: identifier
#
# Note: Because UCM will use the address variable to connect, common options like the identity file, port etc
# can be done via your ~/.ssh/config e.g.
# Host: 192.168.0.*
# GSSAPIAuthentication no
# StrictHostKeyChecking no
# UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
# IdentityFile ~/.ssh/MyIdentifyFile.pem
- name: test
address: 192.168.0.4
user: root
port: 22
options: -X
UCM UI Controls
The UI controls are quite simple, The main interactions can all be done via the mouse.
- Clicking on buttons, RadioButtons etc all work as you would expect via the mouse
- Clicking on a list will mark the row selected, and double clicking will trigger the connect action.
If your not using the mouse to control things:
- page-up, page-down will move up/down a page in the list views, and the help screen
- up/down arrows will scroll up/down one row at a time in the list views, and the help screen
