sshPilot is an ssh connection manager made with GTK and Python.

Here are the features:

  • Manage multiple SSH connections

  • Open eac h connection in a separate tab

  • Both password and SSH key authentication methods are supported

  • Automatically detects SSH keys in ~/.ssh/

  • Use your desired color theme and font style for the terminal

  • Uses secure password storage (GNOME secure password storage)

If you manage multiple remote machines, this might come in handy.

Nice tool. What inspired you to make it?

[-] mfat@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago

Thanks. Personally i always wanted a FOSS alternative to Termius on desktop.

A unified UI that allows connecting to multiple servers easily.

Any highlights from the development process? Any particular complication with tooling/libraries used or anything that went better/faster than expected?

Well initially I started the project with PyQt, but surprisingly it turned a nightmare when I tried to integrate a proper terminal. With GTK and vte it was a breeze. Currently I'm porting the app to libadwaita for a more polished, modern look.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
