It provides a CLI client for Geofront_, a simple SSH key management server.

Installation

It is available on PyPI__, so you can install it using pip installer. We, however, recommend to use pipsi_ instead so that geofront-cli and its dependencies don't make your global site-packages messy.

.. code-block:: console

$ pipsi install geofront-cli

__ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/geofront-cli .. _pipsi: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi

Getting started

What you have to do first of all is to configure the Geofront server URL. Type geofront-cli start and then it will show a prompt:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli start Geofront server URL:

We suppose http://example.com/ here. It will open an authentication page in your default web browser:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli start Geofront server URL: http://example.com/ Continue to authenticate in your web browser... Press return to continue

List available remotes

You can list the available remotes using geofront-cli remotes command:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli remotes web-1 web-2 web-3 worker-1 worker-2 db-1 db-2

If you give -v/--verbose option it will show their actual addresses as well:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli remotes -v web-1 [email protected] web-2 [email protected] web-3 [email protected] worker-1 [email protected] worker-2 [email protected] db-1 [email protected] db-2 [email protected]

SSH to remote

You can easily connect to a remote through SSH. Use geofront-cli ssh command instead of vanilla ssh:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli ssh web-1 Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27 i686)

* Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

ubuntu@web-1:~$

In most cases, you probably need to list remotes to find an alias to SSH before run geofront-cli ssh command. geofront-cli go command is a single command for these two actions at once:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli go (...interactive fuzzy finder for remotes is shown...) Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27 i686)

* Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

ubuntu@web-1:~$

Note that there's a shortcut command gfg which is an alias of geofront-cli go.

There is geofront-cli scp command as well, which is corresponding to scp:

.. code-block:: console

$ geofront-cli scp file.txt web-1:file.txt file.txt 100% 3157 3.1KB/s 00:00 $ geofront-cli scp -r web-1:path/etc/apt ./ sources.list 100% 3157 3.1KB/s 00:00 trusted.gpg 100% 14KB 13.9KB/s 00:00

Missing features

• Shortcut for geofront-cli ssh command
• Make geofront-cli ssh similar to ssh
• Autocompletion
