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.
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.
