on my research list: autossh
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/12
Having mainly used ssh as a means to connect to a shell on remote machines and occasionally a manual port forward.
I never noticed autossh where you can automate the ssh logon process to keep permanent port forwards up and running. Cool!
It’s on my research list now, as this will be useful probably sooner than later:
- [WayBack] autossh
- [WayBack] autossh(1): monitor/restart ssh sessions – Linux man page autossh is a program to start a copy of ssh and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.
- [WayBack] Permanent SSH Tunnels with autossh | Linuxaria
- Translation of Italian article [WayBack] AutosshTunnel – Truedoc – labs
- [WayBack] Keeping your SSH connections alive with autossh | Linux.com | The source for Linux information: With autossh, you can monitor your SSH connections and restart them if they stop sending traffic or SSH exits abnormally. This makes autossh perfect for keeping secure port forwarding available.
- [WayBack] Autossh for persistent database connectivity – Compose Articles Both SSL with whitelisting and SSH tunnelling into databases are powerful options when it comes to connecting to Compose database deployments. We recently introduced SSL for RethinkDB because it is the quickest and easiest way to get a secure connection, but there are still situations when you need an SSH
- [Archive.is] SSH tunnelling for fun and profit: Autossh SSH tunnelling for fun and profit: AutoSSH. Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels with AutoSSH and use systemd to launch SSH tunnels at boot time.
- [WayBack] npm autossh: Persistent SSH tunnels
My initial impression is that autossh is a wrapper around the regular ssh client that allows reconnection upon communication failures.
