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
